I will not be installing your app and I will advise all friends, family, and aquaintances to do the same. Native apps are 1000x worse than the web in the risks to users. Even if I trust you I also have to trust the authors of every library your app uses not to pown my computer or use my camera or mic, scan my network, capture my screen, read the clipboard constantly, read and/or upload all my files, etc...

You have to do that with all of the software you run, and the operating system you run it on, anyway.
