Native apps are native to a particular mobile platform's development environment—be it Android, iOS, or even now defunct Windows Mobile OS. Based on the assessment, a choice among intricate cross-platform app development approach and separate native apps should be made. With this article, I intend to dispel this confusion as it is essential to know the real differences in making a sound decision among these. Web apps are general-purpose apps that can be accessed through mobile-compatible web browsers. For iOS, native app development is done using Swift and Objective-C programming languages using Xcode integrated development environment. They have limited access to mobile’s native functionality such as media, geolocation, state, etc.
