## What it is
cargo-mobile is a Rust CLI tool that simplifies building and running Rust projects on iOS and Android. It generates Xcode and Android Studio project files, scaffolds project boilerplate from template packs, and handles building and deploying to devices.

## Use cases
- use rust on ios and android
- generate xcode project for rust code
- run rust game on mobile device
- scaffold bevy project for mobile
- build rust library for android with ndk

## When to choose
- you want to develop Rust apps or games targeting iOS and Android
- you use frameworks like Bevy, wgpu, or winit and need mobile project files
- you want automated boilerplate generation and on-device build/run workflows

## When to avoid
- you need Windows host support, which is not yet available
- you only target desktop platforms
- you need a fully polished, battle-tested toolchain with extensive external usage
