Do you think it is a good idea to expose hypermedia api (HATEOAS) for native clients (Android, iOS)? What are the difficulties when the clients try to consume such an API?
I assume that the UI will be driven by the responses form the API.
I have zero experience with native clients and how they are built internally.

Hypermedia seems made for mobile devices considering the limitations of data transfer due to speed, cost and availability.
This post addresses two of the concerns I had.
Perhaps someone else can speak to HATEOS libraries available for Native platforms.
