I currently only do web development. I figured if and when I needed to develop a mobile app, it would probably be easiest to use something like React Native. Most of my skills would transfer. And I wouldn't have to deal with majority of the issues the author of the article pointed out. This is likely not an option for games. But for non-games I thought it wouldn't be a massive challenge.

I have never developed a mobile app, so I may be oversimplifying it. Let me know if you have been down this path and agree/disagree.
