One of the biggest advantages of building mobile apps in native platforms is the ability to leverage hardware and device capabilities to the fullest through the native API calls. More importantly, accessing the mobile features through native API delivers the best performance possible. Crosslight provides solid services abstraction that lets you access common mobile capabilities from the ViewModel, hence enable you to streamline all user interactions and application logic code in the shared application layer.
For instance, you can write code that makes a voice call to a specific number, compose a mail message, locate an address, navigate to a placemark, check Internet connection, and much more – all with just a single method call.
