Mobile App Development Options

Native applications

Developed for specific mobile platform

Implemented in target platform language • Java, C#, Objective-C

Best usability and performance • Have "native" look and feel

• Full access to native device functionality • Camera, calendar, GPS, etc.


Web applications

Developed for cross-platform use

Implemented with standard web toolset • HTML5, JavaScript and CSS

Limited usability and performance • May partially emulate "native" look and feel

• Can't access native device functionality • Major limitation!


Hybrid applications

Developed for cross-platform use

Implemented with • Standard web toolset

• Web container-to-native bridging framework

A happy medium between native and web apps • Limited access to native device functionality

• Subject to available plugins


Mobile App Development Options Compared

Top three reasons to go hybrid

1. WORA principle • Write once, run anywhere!

2. Reduced cost • Native programming skills are not required

• Web designer skills are sufficient

3. Faster turnaround • Shorter development, QA and distribution cycle


Hybrid apps in the enterprise

• WORA principle • Generally not relevant

• Full control of the device fleet

• Single vendor for mobile hardware

• Reduced cost • Very relevant

• Faster turnaround • Very relevant


Proprietary features in hybrid apps

Using vendor-specific device features • B2C solutions

1. Query the device at run-time

2. Utilize the feature if supported

• For enhanced user experience

• B2B solutions • Generally use single-vendor devices

• Often single model

• Extensive use of proprietary device features

• To provide the best user experience
