4. What is a Native App?

5. Native App • Development The process of creating apps or software that must be run on specific devices and mobile app platforms like Android and iOS. Native app development relies on the native-to-the-operating-system programming language to create apps for a specific platform, such as computers, smart TVs, smartphones, or any other modern devices utilized in the digital arena.

6. Precise and Dynamic Efficient Performance Rapid Development Increased Security Offline Support Less Bugs Native apps are created for a single operating system. So they stick to criteria that ensure an improved experience that is fully aligned with a given operating system in all terms. These apps make native programs more efficient by providing key programming languages and APIs . Native applications are usually popular with startups because they develop fast and do not cost much. This offline support option in native apps is critical for app users who live in places with poor internet connectivity, are in distant areas, or have restricted data availability. Native app development relies on many browsers and technologies such as HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS to ensure complete data security on the user's end. Because native programs have a single codebase and do not rely on cross-platform tools, they have fewer issues. Benefits of Native Apps Development

7. Cons of Native App Development Code are Not Reusable If you want to build native apps for iOS and Android independently, you'll have to do the coding and develop the apps for both mobile operating systems. Costly Native app development incurs significant maintenance costs that sometimes exceed the development expenditures. Requires More Skills and Talent Native mobile apps are language-specific. So it can be difficult to locate developers who can create native apps back-to-back.

8. When to Consider Developing a Native App? Businesses that work with 3D games and animations. 01 When it is necessary to code particularly for one platform. 02 When device-specific features such as GPS, cameras, and so on must be added. 03 Your target audience will be using your app for the first time, and you want to provide them with the finest app experience possible. 04 You intend to acquire a large number of DAUs, approach VC investors for product finance, and create an easy-to-use yet intuitive app. 05

9. What is a Hybrid App?

10. Hybrid App Development It is a combination of native and web solutions in which developers must insert code written in languages such as CSS, HTML, and JavaScript inside a native app using plugins such as Ionic's Capacitor, Apache Cordova, and others to have access to native functions. 60%

11. Benefits of Hybrid Apps Fast Market Launch Cost Minimalization A hybrid app development framework is the best option since it allows for speedy development and market launch of the app at a relatively early stage. With hybrid app development frameworks, developers can create a single version and use it across various platforms. Excellent UI/UX Ease of Maintenance The lightweight hybrid app UI of hybrid app development allows for super-fast loading of images and content. Because hybrid apps are simply based on web technology, they are easier to maintain than native and cross-platform apps that require complicated code.

12. Cons of Hybrid App Development Limited Functionality Some functions that are special to one operating system may not work perfectly on another, such as some Android-specific functionalities that may not work on iOS devices. Comparatively Slow When comparing the performance of a native app to that of a hybrid app with the same functionality, the native app will be slightly faster. Requires Internet Connection Hybrid applications, unlike native programs, do not provide offline functionality. Users must wait for an Internet connection before using the app's features.

13. When to Consider Developing a Hybrid App? You want to test the concept idea, and create a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). 02 You intend to distribute a web app through app stores. 03 01 You want to use the device's native functionality, such as GPS and camera. You want to run the program across multiple platforms but don't have the time to construct a cross-platform solution. You're aiming for a larger audience who uses the app on both web and mobile devices. 04 05

14. What is a Cross Platform App?

15. Cross Platform App Cross-platform frameworks creates shareable and reusable code for building programs for several operating systems. Writing code once and reusing it on various platforms reduces development expenses and efforts significantly. Hassle-free implementation Robust functionality 60%

16. Benefits of Cross-platform Apps Easy and Quick Development D A This is where a cross-platform app development framework outperforms the competition. C B Hassel-free and Fast Maintenance Because there is only one codebase, it is very simple to test and release fixes and upgrades. This results in improved accuracy and superior quality mobile applications. B A Cross-platform App Development Great Potential A cross-platform app development framework has the potential to accommodate all types of platforms and ensures a greater worldwide market reach with increased brand popularity of new enterprises seeking rapid market traction. C Reusable Code Developers of cross-platform programs do not need to write different code for each operating system. A shared codebase can be used to move code between platforms. D

17. Difficult to integrate • Cons of • Cross-platform • Apps • Long period of waiting for update integration • Reduced flexibility Cross-platform software development has its own set of hurdles, ranging from UI/UX concerns to speed issues. • Development lifecycle is complex

18. When to Consider Building a Cross-platform App? You have to release a mobile application on different platforms with a limited budget, time, and resources. 01 You must target both iOS and Android app consumers. 02 03 You require quicker app development.
