That's no different than appcellerator or xamarin though. And in the case where you are just using embedded webviews you can easily write native code alongside them. Cordova is written in objective-c and is easy to understand.

You're right, I was thinking of platforms more like Cordova.

I did a little reading and it appears that React Native, Appcelerator, and Xamarin are pretty close to feature parity.
