Choose the suitable solution
What are the types of applications available on mobile?
Web Application
Web development is a smart business strategy. With current
technologies, it’s a common practice to share the backend infrastructure across multiple
platforms. Thanks to that, once prepared, business logic can power web applications, mobile
versions and even support wearable devices like watches by sharing and synchronizing
critical
data across cloud API.
PWA – progressive web app can answer some of these expectations. By extending the
browser
capabilities, we make offline usage of applications, extended API to device hardware &
experience similar to the native one.
Native Application
Some features that are available only on phones or need some more computing power for your
app. It's safe to say that a native app is a way to go.
IOS – a right choice if you want a dedicated solution for this platform. Every
new feature is available without issues. Apps are written in Objective-C or modern Swift
programming language.
Android – similar to iOS by accessing all of the new platform features, along
with APIs with code written in Java or modern Kotlin language.
Cross-platform Application
Over the years, we found that having separate code-bases for applications costs too much,
even for big companies. Hence, the solution is to have a single codebase, which can be built
as a separate native Android or iOS app.
React Native – based on React.js, the most popular web framework, React Native allows
writing code in an environment familiar to web developers, although rendered elements on the
app are pure native. It's our go-to choice to have an app look platform- consistent. Also,
it always allows fallback to a pure native solution if necessary.
Flutter – with its initial release in 2017, Flutter, backed by Google, is a new way
for building cross-platform apps in Dart programming language. Google rewrote the UI part of
the application to look and behave consistently on both iOS & Android systems. Although
Flutter is a newcomer in the game, its popularity is rising fast.
