The Best Cross-platform app development Technologies


Introduction When it comes to mobile app development, there are several paths you can take. Some companies choose to build native apps, while others go with cross-platform app development. The cross-platform building has some great benefits. It can save a lot of time and money depending on the application you are developing. So without further ado, let's dive into cutting-edge cross-platform development technologies:


Cross-Platform Development Technologies


React Native React Native is a framework supported and developed by Facebook. However, it is open-source, so there is no need to license and worry about copyright issues. React Native has been around for quite some time. Since its initial launch in 2015, the fan base has grown, as has the framework itself. The maturity of React Native, along with its JavaScript programming language, is one of its biggest strengths. This makes React very easy to learn and use. Resources created over the years are a great help to teams working with React. However, building an app in React Native requires some native code. Some features need to be platform-specific using the platform's native programming language (so Swift, Objective C, or Java). This means that the cost of React Native app development may not be as low as some other frameworks, as some native expertise is required.


Flutter Like React Native, Flutter has the support of the tech giant – Google. It was officially released in 2018, so it's not that long ago. However, it has already gained considerable popularity and is now considered a valuable alternative to other cross-platform app development frameworks. Flutter is great precisely because it is versatile. This particular SDK allows the development team to create even the most complex interfaces and user flows very easily. Another cool thing is that, unlike React Native, it doesn't use a bridge to communicate with the platform's native components. Thanks to this, Flutter applications have a very fast response and excellent performance even with complicated user interfaces. In addition, many developers find working with Flutter simply fun and easy. There are some younger developers on our team who haven't worked with Flutter before joining us, but find it easy to learn and more fun than native development. In addition, applications created using Flutter have one huge advantage - the interface will look the same on all versions of a certain operating system. This means that even if a user hasn't updated their device, they'll still have the same experience as someone with an up-to-date operating system.


Ionic Ionic is one of the oldest cross-platform software development kits as it was released in 2013. It was originally based on Angular, but now developers have more freedom to choose which technology to use with Ionic. Ionic advertises with the slogan “One code base. Any platform." Since its first introduction, the framework has started to offer more and more development options. Teams can either use their favorite framework with Ionic or simply use JavaScript. It offers ready-to-use UI components for every platform to make development fun and easy. It has also a huge library of native components so your app can access the most important native features of the device. In addition, there are plenty of available integrations for Ionic apps like Stripe, PayPal, Touch ID, Google Maps, and more.


Xamarin Like React Native and Flutter, Xamarin has support from Microsoft (the tech giant bought the company in 2016). Xamarin is also one of the original cross-platform frameworks and has been around since 2011. Xamarin promises applications with superior performance while still allowing developers to reuse around 75% of their code across multiple platforms. What makes Xamarin nice is its complete support for Apple's operating system (except for iPadOS). Additionally, support from Microsoft ensures that there is a large community and plenty of resources gathered around the framework, making it easy to learn and work with. In addition, you can also easily integrate Azure Cloud into your business model (it's even recommended on the Xamarin website). If you are looking for a team to master any of the above technologies and build your product - contact us and let's start your project!
