I've never quite found the right cross-platform phone dev setup before, so this piqued my interest a little.

  Skip requires a macOS 15+ development machine with Xcode 16.4 or later installed.

So not really the cross-platform I was imagining. That one's on me.

  With no additional managed runtime, Skip apps are as efficient as they can possibly be on both platforms.

Bold claim. These guys must really care about every byte.

  At least 32GB of memory is recommended for development with Skip.

You are confused or making bad-faith comparisons.

You're comparing the efficiency of the app that Skip produces, and the development environment (which is Xcode and Android Studio).

And you are comparing the cross-platform capabilities of the apps you can produce with Skip with the cross-platform capabilities of the development environments (which are still just Xcode and Android Studio).
