There’s no question that mobile apps have bridged the gap between businesses and their customers. When you think of mobile apps, social networking, productivity trackers, or maybe even shopping apps come to mind. For every great product or service, it's critical to have your product or service accessible to mobile users. But how do you decide which mobile development route is right for your business?
Mobile Application Development Types
The universal goal for mobile app developers is to reach as many users in the target audience as possible. This requires repeated development efforts for each platform and for the each product. Without proper planning, these repetitive tasks can become costly. To avoid going over budget, a cross-platform app development also known as a hybrid app development may be the best solution. These platforms allow you to “write-once-run-everywhere”.
1. Native-Hybrid App Development
The majority of the applications are written in common language which then gets converted into a native form that will run on each Operating System (OS). Due to the converted format that is supported by the OS, the quality of performance will improve, it will run smoother, and will become more user-friendly. Some examples of these app developments are Xamarin and ReactNative.
2. Web-Hybrid App Development
Every Operating System uses a web view to display various types of web content. Writing the application using HTML/CSS/JavaScript technologies enables the applications to be compatible with all mobile OS devices. These apps possess a native container that allows more access to device hardware than what is initially available for web apps that run on a web browser. Some examples of frameworks are Cordova and Ionic.
3. Native
Native is the most robust development route due to its native execution of performance. In the Native process, developers have access to the hardware features with no abstractions which makes the process much faster; APIs can be accessed on day one. This base development provides excellent support from platform owners including documentation and best practices. Native developers are easily found but are not cost or time effectively. You will need developers to write code on each platform separately.
