Languages Use In NATIVE & HYBRID

Native- There are many languages used in native app development like – Java, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C, C/C++, C#, JavaScript.

But we only work on Java and swift.

Hybrid-  There are many languages used in hybrid app development like- Ionic, React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, Apache Cordova (PhoneGap), Sencha Touch.

But we only work on Flutter.

Difference between NATIVE & HYBRID in points

Native and Hybrid are two difference approaches to developing mobile applications. Here are the key differences between them in points:

Native Mobile App:

Platform-specific: Native apps are developed specifically for a particular mobile operating system, such as iOS (using Swift or Objective-C) or Android (using Java or Kotlin).

Performance: Native apps tend to offer better performance because they are optimized for the underlying hardware and software of the target platform.

User Experience: Native apps provide a seamless and consistent user experience, as they adhere to the design guidelines and conventions of the respective platforms.

Access to Device Features: Native apps have full access to the device’s hardware features and capabilities, such as the camera, GPS, and sensors, allowing for rich and integrated functionality.

App Store Distribution: Native apps are typically distributed through platform-specific app stores (Apple App Store and Google Play Store), which can provide a level of trust and visibility to users.

Development Time and Cost: Developing separate native apps for different platforms can be more time-consuming and costly due to the need for separate codebases and skill sets.

Updates: Updates for native apps need to be separately developed and pushed to each platform’s app store, which can require additional time and effort.

Hybrid Mobile App:

Cross-Platform: Hybrid apps are developed using web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and are wrapped in a native container. They can run on multiple platforms with minimal code changes.

Performance: Hybrid apps may not offer the same level of performance as native apps, as they rely on web views for rendering content and may not fully utilize platform-specific optimizations.

User Experience: While hybrid apps aim to provide a consistent look and feel across platforms, achieving a truly native user experience can be challenging, and there may be differences in behavior and performance.

Access to Device Features: Hybrid apps can access device features through plugins, but they may not have as deep integration as native apps, and plugin availability can vary.

App Store Distribution: Hybrid apps can be distributed through app stores like native apps, but they may face limitations in terms of discoverability and trust.

Development Time and Cost: Developing hybrid apps can be faster and more cost-effective than building separate native apps for each platform, as a single codebase can be used for multiple platforms.

Updates: Hybrid apps can be updated more easily and quickly, as changes to the web code can be applied across all platforms simultaneously.

In the cure services layer, there are a variety of frameworks. Details about some of these are presented as follows

Core Motion Framework: The Core Motion framework is used to access all motion based data on the device.

Core Data Framework: The Core Data framework is used to manage the data model of the model view controller app.

Core Location Framework: This framework provides the location and heading information to the different apps.

Core Foundation Framework: This is where the iOS applications get their data management and service functionality.

Cocoa Touch: The frameworks provided by the Cocoa Touch layer are as follows:

EventKit Framework: The standard system interfaces for viewing and altering calendar-related events using view controllers are shown in this diagram.

GameKit Framework: This enables users to exchange their game-related data on the internet via Game Center.

MapKit Framework: This provides a scrollable map that can be incorporated into the app’s user experience.

CloudKit Framework: The CloudKit framework can be used to transfer data between the app and the iCloud.

Address Book Framework: The Address Book framework provides access to the user’s contacts database.

HealthKit Framework: This new framework can handle the user’s health-related data.

AV Kit: This provides a variety of user-friendly video presentation interfaces.

Media Player Framework: This framework supports playlist playback and allows the user to access their iTunes library.

UIKit Graphic: This supports the creation of designing images and animating of view content.

Core Graphics Framework: This is the native drawing engine for iOS apps, and it supports both 2-D vector and image-based rendering.

Core Animation Framework: The app’s animation experience is enhanced with the Core Animation technology.
