NativeScript is a JavaScript-based cross-platform open-source development framework to develop apps for iOS, visionOS and Android platforms. It connects platform APIs directly to the JavaScript runtime (with strong types). combining familiar Web approaches like CSS and view templating with common platform languages (Swift, Kotlin, Objective-C, Java).

NativeScript empowers you to access native APIs from JavaScript directly. Currently iOS, Android, and visionOS runtimes are provided for rich mobile development across a variety of diverse use cases. @nativescript/ @nativescript/core Singular primitives offering an easy-to-use API surface for diverse iOS/visionOS/Android APIs implemented with NativeScript. @nativescript/types Types for both iOS/Android below wrapped up as a convenience. Most commonly used. @nativescript/types-ios Types for iOS. @nativescript/types-android Types for Android. @nativescript/types-minimal A very minimal set of types for only the latest Android and iOS sdks. Most commonly used to optimize Web-based IDE's which auto load all type declarations from node modules. @nativescript/ui-mobile-base UI mobile base native classes used by core. @nativescript/webpack Webpack build utilities and configs used by NativeScript apps. Outside the source centralized in this repo, NativeScript consists of a few other source repos. Here are the major ones: iOS and visionOS Runtime Empowers JavaScript code to be executed on iOS and visionOS devices written in a mix of C++, Objective-C, and Swift. Android Runtime Empowers JavaScript code to be executed on Android devices written in a mix of C++, Java and Kotlin. CLI Command-line interface empowering you to create, build, and run apps using NativeScript. Docs Documentation available at written in Markdown. Plugins Various TSC managed plugins. Also a good reference is the plugin marketplace with several additional plugins. Firebase Modular Firebase 🔥 implementation for supported platforms. ML Kit Google's ML Kit SDKs for supported platforms. Payments In-App Purchase, Subscriptions, Google Pay and Apple Pay. Artwork Want to use our logo or colors?

NativeScript is a JavaScript-based cross-platform open-source development framework to develop apps for iOS, visionOS and Android platforms. It connects platform APIs directly to the JavaScript runtime (with strong types). combining familiar Web approaches like CSS and view templating with common platform languages (Swift, Kotlin, Objective-C, Java).
It was originally conceived and developed by Bulgarian company Telerik, later acquired by Progress Software. At the end of 2019 responsibility for the NativeScript project was taken over by long-time Progress partner, nStudio. In December 2020, nStudio also oversaw the induction of NativeScript into the OpenJS Foundation as an Incubating Project. NativeScript apps are built using JavaScript, or by using any programming language that transpiles to JavaScript, such as TypeScript. NativeScript supports the Angular and Vue JavaScript frameworks. Mobile applications built with NativeScript result in fully native apps, which use the same APIs as if they were developed in Xcode or Android Studio. Additionally, software developers can re-purpose third-party libraries from CocoaPods, Maven, and npm.js in their mobile applications without the need for wrappers.
