What are the potential pitfalls of trying to use PHP for native app development?

Potential pitfalls of using PHP for native app development include performance issues, limited access to device features, and lack of support for certain mobile platforms. To address these challenges, developers can consider using a hybrid approach with frameworks like PhoneGap or Ionic, or exploring alternatives like Swift for iOS development or Kotlin for Android development. 

// Example of using a hybrid approach with PhoneGap
// index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>My PhoneGap App</title>
    <script src="phonegap.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Welcome to my app!</h1>
</body>
</html>

// index.php
<?php
// Your PHP code here
?>
