In the smartphone era, people bring their portable devices everywhere with them, depending on and putting many everyday life informations, such as appointments or groceries lists in them. Whether it is a phone or a tablet, you will always find a mobile app on it, helping someone manage their schedule, improve their productiveness or entertain them. All thanks to one of the software development’s division – mobile development. It allows to create a specific app to fit your expectations. There are few types of it, as well as platforms that apps operate on. Determined by your target audience’s needs and app characteristics, you are able to pick the best technique for your product.
Android is owned by Google and has been produced basing on Linux OS. One of the differences between the computer version and the mobile one, is that the mobile one does not contain some of the libraries or servers compared to the computer one. That leads you to, for example, not being able to open certain graphics or whole apps on one of the devices, even though it works on the other. Despite PC’s OS being a fundmanet for mobile OS, they are in fact two distinct creations. One thing to note about this platform, is that it is open, in a sense that it runs on devices made by various companies, not just their owner’s, Google. That distinguishes Android from iOS. You can learn about creating apps for Android on their website, with a handful of information for developers. Their guide is beginner friendly.
The word native speaks for itself. Those apps are talking in the same language as the software they are built for, meaning that one and the other are written in the one same code. For Android it is Java code and for iOS it is Objective C or Swift. Swift for example tends to be faster to load than Java, but Java does the job on Windows, Linux and Mac as well. Because the app is written in the specified code it will fit only the right device. Pre-installed apps like messages, calendar or photo are the native ones. When you are creating a native app and you want it to perform on different platforms, you will need just as many codes written.
Owned by Apple and has been developed with Mac OS. As already mentioned, iOS runs only on Apple devices. It works with Apple’s hardware and nothing else. Compared to that, with Android’s Open Source Project, anyone has a platform’s code available to modify under a license and run on their own hardware. However both of these approaches have their benefits. Google gets more devices and content that bring them more users in, and Apple has way more control over both hardware and software that keep their product consistent and safer, because they have full control over what apps end up on the screen and in the App Store. Apple helps app architects with building their concept with instructions and documentation on their website. They also have a forum on which you can discuss problems with Apple’s developers.
Complexity of the hybrid app desintegrates into a native app and a web app. Web app is a program that uses a browser to run. The difference between it and a regular web page, is that it shows alike functionality to a normal app. Hybrid app adapts native one as framework to put a web app into. So basically in your downloaded native-like app, you have a mini web restricted to app’s purpose, shown to your client as a webview. Using a web gives you advantage in mobile development for it works across all platforms because they are written in HTLM5, JavaScript and CSS or other web technologies.
