Major Cross-Platform Mobile Development Technologies
React Native
It is a framework owned by Facebook. React Native is the most popular technology for Cross-platform mobile app development. The core allows developers to build natives like mobile apps for iOS and Android. For React Native, JavaScript, and React.js knowledge is required to create user interfaces. It makes testing easier.
Xamarin
Xamarin allows developers to build mobile apps for platforms like Android, iOs, Windows, and Mac. They all have a common codebase using C, C#, and .Net frameworks. There are no lacks in app quality. With Xamarin, a developer can develop unique UIs for one platform and can write some elements which can be used for another platform. Xamarin affirms that up to 90% of the code can be shared in this way.
Flutter
Although it is a new technology, Flutter ranks high among the top Cross-platform development frameworks. It was introduced by Google. It can be used to form an application for mobile, web, and desktop platforms. This UI toolkit works on Dart and meanwhile, it supports Java, C, Swift, and other programming languages. The tool is used to create large-scale apps.
Ionic
Ionic is an open-source and 100% free framework that offers a rich library of UI components. It works on HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. It helps web developers in building, testing, and deploying Cross-platform mobile apps pretty quickly. Using a single codebase, Ionic can help developers to develop Android and iOs apps. Over 5 million developers use Ionic for building apps.
PhoneGap
PhoneGap was introduced by Adobe. It helps to use HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. PhoneGap operates on Apache Cordova. Apache Cordova provides a way to PhoneGap Toolset which in turn allows developers to new codes from the community base for free. PhoneGap framework has access to phone native resources as the tool interacts with mobile hardware. This tool is adaptable and has free access to all the required tutorials.
Benefits of Cross-Platform Apps
1) Low Cost
The recent developments in technology have made the app to be operated with a Cross-platform from the beginning. So, that made the work easier. Hence, to fit the app into all three major platforms individually is no longer required. Through Cross-platform development, the app can develop only once and ensure that it fits into all the digital spaces. However, if you are developing an app that will have to fit into spaces that have different design requirements, then the design will need to be done freshly. Cross-platform development reduces costs by 60% compared to native applications.
2) Easier Implementation
With the help of technologies like PhoneGap, a developer can make changes quickly in Cross-platform development. The developer already can know about utilizing the resource and translating them for different platforms. Cross-app development makes the app easier, and it can sync updates across all mobile devices. Hence, to update, test, and deploy, there is only one set of code. Even using codes again and again for every platform, developers can reuse the same code across all platforms.
3) Quicker Development Time
Cross-platform app development is faster than native app development. Without compromising on quality, the Cross-platform apps will give the users the same look and experience as the native apps. If you are developing the same app multiple times, then there are chances that its UX quality will take a drop. The only way to do this is by hiring a hybrid app development company that will ensure that the same UX is maintained by taking a Cross-platform approach. It is a win-win situation for markers, developers, and consumers.
