With mobile devices becoming a part and parcel of our lives, more and more functions are being added to mobile phones. Right from monitoring health to opening doors, a lot of functions have just become part of a mobile phone. For each of these functions, an application is required.
Mobile app development is the process of creating software applications that run on a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet, using tools and technologies specifically designed for the mobile platform.
This includes designing, coding, testing, and deploying the app to an app store like Google Play, etc. It can also be offered for private download.
Some popular frameworks and platforms for mobile app development include:
1) React Native
React Native allows developers to build mobile apps using JavaScript and React, a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. A concept and syntax similar to React are used by React Native also. However, instead of targeting web browsers, it targets mobile platforms such as iOS and Android. This mobile app development framework was created by Facebook.
2) Flutter
Flutter is a mobile app development framework created by Google. It uses the Dart programming language to build mobile apps for iOS, Android, and the web. The main advantage is that the framework automatically updates the app’s user interface in response to changes in the underlying data.
3) Xamarin
Not to be left behind, Xamarin is a mobile app development framework created by Microsoft. This allows developers to build mobile apps using C# and the .NET framework. Xamarin also includes a feature called Xamarin Forms, which allows developers to create a single, shared user interface for their app that can run on multiple platforms.
4) Ionic
Ionic is an open-source framework for building mobile applications using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
5) Cordova
Cordova is also an open-source framework for building mobile applications. It provides a bridge between web code and native device features, such as the camera, GPS, and accelerometer, enabling developers to access those features from within a web-based app.
6) NativeScript
NativeScript is an open-source framework for building mobile applications using JavaScript, which allows developers to create truly native apps for iOS and Android using a single codebase
7) Swift and Objective-C for iOS
They are used for developing iOS and macOS applications. Objective-C is an older, high-level programming language that was widely used for developing iOS and macOS apps before Swift. Swift is a modern, high-performance programming language developed by Apple for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Swift is designed to work seamlessly with Cocoa Touch and Cocoa, the frameworks that make up the iOS and macOS SDKs, which makes it easy for developers to create high-performance and responsive apps.
8) Java and Kotlin for Android
Java is a well-known programming language while Kotlin is a more recent programming language that helps to overcome the shortcomings of Java. Kotlin is an open-source, statically typed language that is fully interoperable with Java and can be used to build high-performance and reliable Android apps.
All of the above languages have large and active communities with tutorial libraries and resources. It is a point to note that the choice of a framework or platform is to be decided after a thorough business analysis and understanding of requirements. It will also depend on the skills of the company developing the application and support available online.
