Introduction to LiveView Native Framework

This article introduces LiveView Native v0.3, a significant update that enables developers to create fully native user interfaces on a variety of devices. Unlike WebView solutions which render HTML/CSS applications, LiveView Native directly integrates with the underlying native UI frameworks. This method allows developers to reuse work from existing LiveView applications, leading to more efficient state management and reduced development costs. The article highlights specific benefits such as quicker time to market, lower operational costs, and the ability to implement immediate updates bypassing app store review processes. Additionally, it explains the differences between LiveView Native and other unified UI frameworks like Flutter and React Native, advocating for a tailored approach to maintain high user experience standards across different devices, including all Apple products and future Android destinations.
