how does it compare to go mobile?

[Edit] Looks like go mobile, still needs Mac/XCode to develop iOS apps and Android Studio to develop android apps. I haven't found another mobile development tool, other than Adobe AIR SDK, which supports developing iOS apps on windows and supports developing Android apps without Android SDK.

IIRC, Go Mobile has no UI layer. It's designed for creating cross platform libraries that you use in existing apps, or otherwise layer with native functionality.

This has a UI library and seems to more of an end to end solution.

For games I believe Unreal Engine 4 works on Windows for iOS as long as you stick to Blueprints and no C++.

didn't know this. Thanks for the info.

Maybe you are looking for React Native + Expo. You can develop iOS / Android apps without Android Studio or Xcode installed
