MOBILE APPLICATIONS AND DEVICE PLATFORMS
In the modern smartphone market, two dominant platforms exist. One is the iOS platform from Apple Inc., powering Apple’s popular line of iPhone smartphones. The second is Android from Google, used not only by Google devices but also by many other OEMs to build their smartphones and other smart devices.
While there are some similarities between these two platforms when building applications, developing for iOS vs. developing for Android involves using different software development kits (SDKs) and a different development toolchain. Apple exclusively uses iOS for its own devices, whereas Google makes Android available to other companies provided they meet specific requirements, such as including certain Google applications on the devices they ship. Developers can build apps for hundreds of millions of devices by targeting both of these platforms.
ALTERNATIVES FOR BUILDING MOBILE APPS
There are four major development approaches when building mobile applications
NATIVE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
Native mobile applications are written in the programming language and frameworks provided by the platform owner and running directly on the operating system of the device such as iOS and Android.
CROSS-PLATFORM MOBILE APPLICATIONS
Cross-platform native mobile applications can be written in variety of different programming languages and frameworks, but they are compiled into a native application running directly on the operating system of the device.
HYBRID MOBILE APPLICATIONS
Hybrid mobile applications are built with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5 – and they are bundled as app installation packages. Hybrid apps work on a ‘web container’ which provides a browser runtime and a bridge for native device APIs via Apache Cordova.
PROGRESSIVE WEB APPLICATIONS
PWAs offer an alternative approach to traditional mobile app development by skipping app store delivery and app installations. PWAs are web applications that utilize a set of browser capabilities.
THE MOBILE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE
The mobile application development lifecycle is a structured process that guides the creation of a mobile application from conception to deployment and maintenance. This lifecycle encompasses various stages, each with its own set of tasks and objectives.
The mobile application development lifecycle is iterative, and feedback from users and stakeholders often leads to updates and enhancements. Following this structured process ensures a systematic approach, resulting in a successful and well-received mobile application.
MOBILE APPLICATION FRONT-END
The mobile front-end serves as the user’s gateway to interact with the application, providing a visually appealing and intuitive interface. This component is responsible for presenting information, receiving user inputs, and delivering a seamless overall experience.
MOBILE APPLICATION
BACK-END
Regardless of what front-end platform or development methodology is being used, delivering high-quality mobile applications that delight and retain users requires reliable back-end services.
