Recommended toolset for targeting IOS and Android?

I have done small amounts of programming for IOS and for Android, but now I need to create something that works with both.

What are the recommended toolsets to accomplish that for a beginner?

The app will be a simple control device for robots over Wi-Fi.

I recommend using Flutter for your cross-platform mobile app development, especially since you already have experience with iOS and Android programming. Flutter offers a seamless way to create a single codebase that works on both platforms. Its expressive UI, hot-reload feature, and extensive widget library make it an excellent choice for developing a control device for robots over Wi-Fi. Flutter’s Dart programming language is beginner-friendly, and the framework itself provides comprehensive documentation and an active community for support. This will streamline your development process and allow you to focus on creating a robust and efficient application for both iOS and Android platforms.

Another option is to use C# and Xamarin.

If you need to simulate iOS behaviour, in all cases you need Apple platform, regardless of any toolings.

Flutter might be a good choice,
The same code will run not only on both plataforms but on the browser and desktop as well.
it’s baked by google itself, so you know, “lots of support and tutorials”.

and well, someone might say “but flutter uses dart…”
I don’t think that’s a problem… dart is quite similar to java, javascript and etc so if you code in any of these you can pick it up quite quickly
