short commentary to longer answer: the two you mention look like cross
platform sdks, not the actual ios (or android or whatever else sdk they
support). that has its advantages and disadvantages. one of the main
disadvantages is that apps written with cross-platform sdks tend to not
look like native apps and are usually slower too. sometimes that may
not matter, but many times it does.
