Cross Platform App Development at LTTRBX

With a single codebase or cross-platform app development, developers can create a single code that will work on multiple platforms such as Android and iOS. Cross-platform app development provides single-code base facilities. Using this single code base functionality, developers can deploy mobile apps that can work on any platform. They can avoid creating native apps for each platform.

Cross-platform app development allows developers to deploy apps faster as they can reuse the code and provide a more unified user experience across devices.

What is Cross-Platform App Development?

With cross-platform app development, multiple platforms such as iOS, Android, Windows, etc will run with a single codebase developed in cross-platform technologies such as React Native and Flutter. With cross-platform apps, a single code will run on all the platforms allowing developers to quickly deploy code across devices and reuse the code as and when needed. Updating the app platform also becomes easier as you only have to update one code. Despite the cross functionality the code will offer a near native experience.

The same code can be used for multiple devices

The advantage for the client side is that faster deployment, cost-effectiveness, and faster turnaround time for development are possible with single codebase development. Especially for startups that are keen to launch a beta version, a single codebase allows them to launch a product quickly and deploy it for consumer feedback before they launch a full product.

That is not to say that faster deployment will offer reduced functionalities. With rendering engines and robust server-side capabilities, cross-platform app development technologies can offer an experience that is comparable or even exceeds native app development experience.

Top Cross-Platform Technologies As per a Stack overflow survey here are the top cross-platform technologies favored by the developers community.

Xamarin: With Xamarin developers can create cross-platform applications for Windows, iOS, macOS, and Android. You can also create platform-specific apps with Xamarin’s platform-specific tools.

React Native: React Native can help you build cross-platform apps with its Javascript libraries. Up to 80% of the code can be used across platforms.

Flutter: Flutter was launched by Google in 2017. It is based on Dart, a relatively new programming language. This framework is preferred for MVP development.

Cordova: Cordova uses HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform app development. Developers can avoid developing apps for each platform by using wrappers made for each platform and use standard API bindings for hardware & OS features access.

Conclusion Earlier, organizations looking for their mobile app development needs had to go for native development only. With robust cross-platform apps development, they can easily merge non native cross platform code with OS-specific features and functionalities. Opting for cross-platform development or native app development will depend largely on your app-related business plans, your user needs, and the features you want to include in your app.
