From the title, it is essential that you know what is a cross-platform app development? After the situation of a pandemic now it is essential for every business they have an application for their products. In the covid 19 situation, you will need a tight budget.
Here we are introducing the cross-platform application which can help you to develop your app smoothly and that too as of your need. Also, these so-called cross-platform applications will run on every kind of platform including iOS, Windows, and Android. One of the best features of this is that you will have to write the code only once.
Let me get to the first question, The answer to that is, that Cross platforms are the kind of platforms that helps you to build an application that runs on all the operating systems, and for that, you will have to write the code only once.
Now, Why do you need to have this Cross-Platform App development thing?
First of all, before answering let’s look at the numbers. Do you know that according to the report of January 2022 there are 2.5 billion android users and 1 billion iOS users? According to this fact, you can not ignore any one of them. You will have to use a cross-platform app development framework in order to use 6.64 billion smartphone users. You don’t want to miss them right?
Want to know the differences between Cross-platform App development and Native App development
Cross-Platform App Development
- One development team
- One Codebase
- are Low on cost
- Of course, less time-consuming
Native App Development
- Two development teams are required
- As two development teams, two codebases
- High cost, and more time as well.
- Time-consuming *
So these were the basic benefits of cross-platform app development. There are so many uses and hidden advantages of cross-platform app development. But, first, now that you have reached through here, read ahead and know what a cross-platform mobile app, is and what are their benefits.
What The Hell The Title Means
Okay, let me tell you this. We are talking about cross-platform app development frameworks in this article, right? So what is that? The framework is the thing you select at first when you start developing your application through Cross-Platform app development.
The framework is a software framework basically used by mobile app developers while you are building your application. In short, Framework is a library that contains all the tools you need to develop your cross-platform mobile app.
Well, if you know or don’t there are so many app development frameworks in the market. Let me tell you the names of some like Flutter, React Native, Cordova, Ionic, Unity, and blah blah blah. Flutter is one of the best cross-platform app development frameworks.
Numbers of Flutter is on high
Do you know till 2021 December Flutter has developed more than 90,000 applications on the google play store. In 2020 it was at 50,000 in 2020. There will be a hike in the app development framework in the nearest time. There are 42% of developers who use flutter to develop their applications. Flutter is the best as of now but its start was not that easy at first.
Flutter was in direct competition with React Native which is handled by Facebook, well that too is now known as meta. Flutter has a clear point of view that it is not about the choice of the platform it is about what users want.
The data given below is not from us, it is actually from Google. It shows that everyone is using flutter whether it is a business organization or a freelancer.
So, flutter is global. But what makes it this much valuable? Its advantages. Well, not only flutter the most of the cross-platform app development frameworks have these advantages. Let’s have a look at it.
Reduces the amount of coding
Flutter offers 80% code reusability. This allows you to deploy the code in less time than native cross-platform application frameworks. The typing style is reactive and declarative.
Efficient performance
There is a huge difference in the working efficiency and performance of the native app developers and cross-platform app developers. Native app developers often find cross-platform app development frameworks easy and “yes, that’s what we were looking for” type.
Reduced cost and time
Flutter gives developers the right to high code reusability. Which saves 50% of the time and the cost of the developers. The work done by a native application developer can be done by a cross-platform app development in less than 50% of the time.
Well these were some immense advantages of Flutter but there are more cross-platform app development frameworks such as Xamarin, PhoneGap, and Wrapping up. They have somewhat the same advantages.
Conclusion
In the end I will really suggest that using Cross-platform mobile app development is much less headache than the native app developments. There are some advantages like Efficient performance, Time Saving, Cost Saving, Less coding, and other tools that differ as to the application or the framework you use differs. From this article, you have a clear-cut idea of the app development framework. So now get your laptops at work and build your own application.
