I wonder if there's any framework that allows C++ coding for cross platoform mobile development with C++?
I know Xamarin uses C# and was recently acquired by Microsoft but I'm guessing there should be other tools out there do do this, right?

What does Xamarin being acquired by Microsoft have to do with it being cross platform ? You might want to look at Qt.Originally Posted by ricarod
Yes, C++ is used for mobile development. It's typically used as the core code, and on top of that is the UI code and platform-specific code (Java, etc). This is typically done because C++ is portable across platforms (i.e. it can be used on Android, Apple devices and computers of all kind).
Xamarin is capable of creating mobile apps for Apple/iOS, Android, and Windows. I think it's safe to call that cross-platform. Qt's mobile development is basically limited to those platforms as well.
What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It's got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?
It's kind of disappointing but a lot of mobile apps nowadays are just dedicated and miniature browsers and the real app is just on a website written in HTML + JS.
Yeah, you're correct but I think the OP was implying that Xamarin, after being acquired by M$ might at some point, if it has not yet already be limited to certain platforms.
Plenty of people are still writing native apps, and Xamarin is really just a wrapper around the native API of each of its supported platforms. It's not just an embedded browser.

Thank you all for your comments, I think what I meant is what Elysia approached asQuestion is where or how you get that "core code" compiled for multi-platform or do you just get your same code and compile it on different IDE's to result on different specific platforms?
That's how you do it usually. Same source. Different compilers.
