Over the years, the mobile development market has seen the emergence of 3 main families of applications. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Native applications, which are mobile applications developed with a language specific to the OS such as Swift\/Objective-C for iOS and Java\/Kotlin for Android.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid applications, which use web technologies (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) and which are displayed in web views in applications. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ionic, Cordova, and Phonegap are examples of hybrid technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross-platform apps, which are native mobile applications generated from a single code base. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to technologies like Xamarin, React Native, or even Flutter, it is possible to generate applications for several OS without having to develop several distinct applications.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, more and more brands are choosing cross-platform apps. Why are they making this choice? Here are the strengths of this type of mobile application.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Demand for Mobile Applications is Growing Steadily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The need for a mobile application is often linked to accessibility because the use of smartphones and mobile applications has exploded. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brands seek to be accessible to the majority of users and therefore target the two most used platforms: iOS<\/a><\/strong> and Android. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The functionality is generally similar on both platforms. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they target several platforms and the applications share the same functional need, it is then interesting to share the same code base.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cost of Cross-Platform App Development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When multiple OSs are targeted, a cross-platform app<\/a><\/strong> has a lower overall cost than a native app. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is explained by the very principle of multiplatform technologies – sharing the same code base between the different OS. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And even if certain costs cannot be reduced, such as the time spent testing each version, development time is considerably accelerated.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The UI has Many Benefits that Make it a Popular Choice for Users<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sharing the same code base has the advantage of keeping good graphic consistency between the different versions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if the native elements used like the navigation bars or the alerts will have a style specific to the OS, the interface will generally look the same on the different platforms. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No more unintended differences between platforms!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-Platform Application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those who see this as a problem, however, it is possible to make code specific to each platform, whether in terms of functionality or graphics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being able to maintain graphical consistency, cross-platform app make it possible to create user interfaces with close-to-native rendering, satisfactory interactions, and animations, unlike the rendering of hybrid applications.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Advantages for Evolution are Numerous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By basing its application on a multiplatform technology, the future integration of a new platform is facilitated. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is, therefore, possible to start your project by targeting only iOS and add Android<\/a><\/strong> later. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to mobile platforms, it is possible to evolve mobile applications to web applications<\/a><\/strong> or even desktop applications without having to start a new project.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of a Development Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Multi-platform technologies have advantages for building development teams because the application is based on a single programming language. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The size of the teams can then be reduced and the synergy between the members made stronger. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaboration is easier because developers \u201cspeak the same language\u201d, which can have a positive impact on the quality of the project. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if the language remains common between the platforms, it is recommended to have a minimum of native development knowledge, especially on the deployment part on the stores.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Excellent Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, one of the most important points of a mobile application is performance. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the phenomenal quantity of mobile applications available on the market, performance is a crucial issue. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike hybrid apps, which use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in web views, cross-platform technologies use native OS components. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The performance is then close to native and that is why so many players in the sector are choosing these technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, since cross-platform technologies are often compatible with native projects, it is possible to mix native code and cross-platform code in the same application. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For features with very high-performance needs, such as for Machine Learning or augmented reality, it will be possible to use native code only for a specific part of the application.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"mobile<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To Conclude<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cross-platform technologies have become very popular, both with developers and businesses. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, React Native is one of the most popular projects on the GitHub platform, with over 75,000 stars. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The popularity is also ensured by the companies that use them, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Uber with React Native<\/a><\/strong>, Google, and Alibaba with Flutter<\/a><\/strong>, or even Fox and UPS with Xamarin.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether for reasons of cost control, their popularity, or their near-native performance, cross-platform apps are now an important part of new mobile application projects, and this trend is strengthening day by day. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-platform technologies are more and more widespread and it is important to sensitize companies on these technologies which constitute new opportunities and alternatives to be seriously considered.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
