  1. Pros and Cons of Building a Cross Platform Mobile App

  2. There are clearly plenty of options to select from when you decide to develop a mobile app. • You can create a native app or a web app. You can even develop a cross platform mobile app so that you have to maintain just one codebase for your app! • Some of the pros and cons of cross platform mobile application development that will help you decide whether this approach is good for your business or not. Introduction

  3. Speed • Cross platform mobile apps are relatively fast to develop rather than building one app separately for Android and iOS. • This is because a single code base is used across all the platforms. • Costs • Cross platform mobile apps are very cost effective as they require you to develop code just once.  • Unlike native apps for various platforms, that require a separate code, that significantly increases costs, cross platform apps help in saving costs. Pros

  4. Simplicity • Cross platform apps are simple in terms of development and maintenance. They can be synced across all the available mobile application development platforms. • There are various technologies that support cross platform development such as appcelerator, PhoneGap etc.

  5. Platform limitations • Each platform has its own uniqueness and flexibilities. Using a common platform for developing apps for various devices you may not be able to leverage from these unique features provided by these platforms. • User experience • Both iPhones and Androids have different screen resolutions, sizes and features. Designing a common app for the two platforms could result in the app offering a good user experience on one platform and a not so good experience on the other. Cons

  6. Integration challenges • Integrating the app with the local settings and preferences is a challenge for various platforms.

  7. Clearly, there is a lot to consider when you select a method for developing mobile applications.  • You will need to decide whether you wish to develop for a single platform or for multiple platforms. • You will also need to decide whether you would want to develop an app separately for each platform or create a cross platform mobile app. • Make a decision after thoroughly understanding the pros and cons of cross platform mobile apps development!
