Top Platforms for cross platform apps

Top platforms for cross platform app development

You can select one of two innovation strategies, depends on the objectives of the potential mobile application: create two or more native apps or one cross-platform app that is appropriate for multiple platforms at the same time. When you have great potential, short period and a low budget, a cross-platform app is a perfect option for MVP (Minimum Viable Product). If your business requires a simple mobile application without complicated animations and functions, another justification for creating a cross-platform mobile app is better.

Developers all over the world have invented special technology that makes the cross-platform application development process simpler. Cross-platform software frameworks allow developers to build one-time-coded mobile applications and run them on various platforms without a lot of difficulties. Today, for mobile app developers, there are effective cross-platform frameworks that enable you to create great applications. For solving a certain problem, each of them is fine. Lets start discussing the top 5 of them

 

React Native
One of the most well-known cross-platform app development frameworks is React Native. Can develop apps for both Android and Ios , Developed by FaceBook Native in 2015 and its own community is continuously improving. It is based on React and doesn't use the technology of WebView and HTML. There are platform components in JSX instead of HTML, and it has CSS-like polyfills instead of CSS. In Addition to that, there is no DOM API. React Native incorporates the best JavaScript and React.JS features. In addition, it offers developers the ability to use Objective-C, Swift, or Java to build some pieces.

 

Main Advantages 

Build applications for various Android, Android TV, iOS, macOS, tvOS, Web, Windows, and UWP platforms.

It is open-source and free because, if there are any problems, it has a wide community to help and develop it.

React Native focuses on UI and enables the development of a highly responsive interface by app developers.

 

Xamarin
Xamarin is also a free, open-source, cross-platform app application, as is React Native. It was created as an independent platform in 2011, but was acquired by Microsoft five years later.

 

Xamarin is somewhat different from other frameworks that are cross-platform. It is based on the .NET platform's open-source implementation, Mono. This implementation requires a C# compiler, runtime, and core .NET libraries of its own. The purpose of the project is to allow programmes written in C# to run on non-Windows operating systems, Unix, Mac OS, and others.

 

Main Advantages 

Framework for free and open-source.

Xamarin is very simple to use, unlike many other cross-platform application development frameworks, since it is enough to grasp the world of C# and .NET.

It has a wide group of businesses and contributors.

 

Phone Gap
PhoneGap is another fantastic cross-platform software development framework. It was developed by Nitobi Software in 2005, which Adobe bought in 2011. JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3 are the foundation of PhoneGap, which makes it very convenient for web and app developers to use. It also supports a lot of different platforms, from Windows, Bada, and Blackberry to iOS and Android.

It has a powerful back-end system which greatly speeds up the process of growth. It is ideally suited for the development of simple mobile apps that do not use native mobile phone features extensively.

Main advantages
On various platforms, apps created with PhoneGap display limited differences.

JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, the most basic and very popular web technologies, are powered by PhoneGap.

The platform allows you to use embedded payment mechanisms in the app via the Android Google Play Store, iOS App Store, etc.

To control interaction, mobile app developers may use legacy JavaScript or any other libraries, such as Prototype, jQuery, MooTools, Sencha Touch, and others.

 

Conclusion
We have listed out the main cross platform developing framework and as one of the best mobile app development companies in dubai we develop the apps using all these three framework at any point of time
