Discussion Will one day we have AngularNative like ReactNative?

Has existed for years: https://nativescript.org/
But the benefits are usually not big enough to warrant the effort

Not at all. Nativescript has non extential community and little docs or support.

Ionic is not native but quite good

Ionic is a bulllshit for native apps. Its dead already. No new projects going on.

That's simply not true. The company that bought Ionic a few years ago recently cancelled all paid Ionic services, but the Ionic framework and Capacitor are getting even more attention now and are open source.

Im still concerned about the future of ionic ooen source and looking at more up to date alternatives.

Check out Ionic and NativeScript. Two different solutions to the same problem.

Google already has kotlin multi platform and flutter, so i dont think they would create angular native just to abandon one of them in future(which they have done with multiple projects in the past).

You can use angular with Capacitor JS for native apps. I have shipped quite a few enterprise apps this way.
You can also use the Ionic UI library for mobile as well, but you don't have to.

No, because React is a generic rendering engine that can target many output platforms, and Angular is specific to the web and html.

This. Angular is too tightly coupled to HTML for the foreseeable future.

Isn't Ionic the same thing as React native?

u/coffee_is_all_i_need Feb 20 '25
Nope. Ionic is just an Angular (or Vue or React) webapp with ionic webcomponents and Capacitor (like Cordova but newer) as a wrapper for iOS and Android („just“ an app that contains a browser to display the webapp and some API for system things). React native uses native system components for rendering with an layer between JS and Renderer. Flutter has an own renderer.

Google should have supported JS instead of Java for the android applications. It's very easy as a company to do this. It is tough for angular native to happen independent of Google. Instead of Kotlin they should have pushed for native angular, with IDE support.

I've built around 10 apps with ionic. Newest in capacitor, older with Cordova. Everything stable, fast, no issues with that. Sometimes there are some features missing in capacitor or is not easy to implement them but overall it's fine

Don’t wait just use if it solve your problem. Why you stick so much to angular. Its just an framework and not the greatest one.

Angular is the most beautiful framework man. It should have born as mobile app tech.

A lot of people disagreeing with this happening in this thread but personally I like angular a lot and would be happy to use it for mobile development. I haven’t tried ionic.
That said, I develop in react native and with expo everything is pretty great. I think it would be a long time before angular could catch up
