Gone are the days when mobile apps are considered as luxury for running a business. In the past few years, the usage of Mobile Apps has quadrupled as almost every software company is joining the bandwagon of offering mobile app development services around the globe. However, companies have realized that all applications cannot work on every platform. For instance, an app which is compatible to Apple devices will not run over Android devices and vice-versa. Thus, for creating Android apps, efforts, time and money need to be re-invested.
Someone has rightly said, “Necessity is the mother of all inventions”, and the challenge of re-investing time and money paves the way to introduction of multi-platform mobile apps.
Multi-Platform Mobile App- An Overview
Multi-platform or commonly known as cross-platform mobile app development is the process of creating apps, which run successfully over multiple mobile operating systems. Working on single code base, native and Hybrid HTML5 are two different kinds of cross-platform apps used by developers. Native apps, which are created by using Android SDK (Software Development Kits) or Apple’s API, are implemented in those programming languages which do not get support from the operating system vendor. On the other hand, hybrid apps are embedded within a “native wrapper” and combine the elements of HTML5 and native apps. PhoneGap, Titanium, Appcelerator and Rhodes are being considered as the best cross-platform frameworks widely used by developers.
