You can build native C++ apps for iOS, Android, and Windows devices by using the cross-platform tools available in Visual Studio . Mobile development with C++ is a workload available in the Visual Studio installer.

C++ can be used for Android App Development using the Android Native Development Kit(NDK) . However, an app cannot be created totally using C++ and the NDK is used to implement parts of the app in C++ native code. This helps in using C++ code libraries for the app as required.
