There is FireMonkey. Windows, iOS, Android and macOS. Native controls on Windows and iOS, and on the roadmap for the others. Themeable, vectorized, GPU-powered, data bindings, and can be used from C++ via C++Builder, or Delphi if you want a more C#-like language.

Here's a random video about the live preview (where you plug in a device and see live as you edit the UI in the IDE what it will look like on that device): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU_J3WxeClI Plenty of other videos online too!
