Cross-platform development frameworks continue to play an important role in developing of mobile applications. There are a plethora of possible frameworks to choose between, and all claim to give developers an advantage in one or more aspects of the development cycle. To further shed light on this area, our research investigates the selection of mobile cross-platform frameworks by investigating criteria and methods for choosing the best suitable framework for the development context. Our study confirm previous research findings and with that anchor the categorisation for a cross-platform comparison taxonomy. Our research further contribute with a criteria check-list to apply for cross-platform framework selection and showcase its use through a comparative study of a cross-platform application implemented in two frameworks. Although showcasing novelty in the criteria checklist, further research is needed to make the checklist robust and streamlined for public use.
