The Essence of Cross-Platform, Hybrid Mobile App Development
The main challenges enterprises are facing today is the cost and complexity of using and maintaining legacy systems, those that are incompatible with multiple devices, frameworks and platforms.
Addressing the need for enterprise mobility, hybrid mobile app development has gained significance. Cross platform, hybrid mobile app development provides access to native capabilities and mobile features, enables synchronization with offline data, provides connection to mobile backend services (mBaas), offers an instant preview and packaging of mobile apps and delivers apps across platforms using a shared code base.
What a Mobile App Development Platform Provides
A Mobile Enterprise Application Platform (MEAP) provides portability and mobility. Development teams need to ensure they choose the right mobile development tool and a framework that suits their application development requirements. Here’s what a mobile application development platform offers:
Build Hybrid Apps with Native UX
Use a wide collection of templates and themes that adapt to platform guidelines to create hybrid mobile apps with a native ‘look and feel’.
Easy Access to Mobile Features and Native Capabilities
Gain easy access to native capabilities and mobile features without concern about underlying complexities.
Access and Synchronize with Offline Data Seamlessly
Obtain easy access to offline data and synchronize to deliver seamless experiences.
Connect Applications to Mobile Backend Services
Connect and link applications to backend services (mBaas) and cloud storage of your choice for features such as identity and user management, analytics, and push notifications.
1-Click Test, Preview, and Publish on Different Devices
Instantly test and preview apps on different devices and package them to publish on Google, Apple and Windows app stores.
Use a Shared Code Base to Deliver Cross-Platform Mobile Apps
Use a shared code base and reuse codes across platforms to deliver cross-platform mobile apps, reducing code development time.
