Mobile app development is the act or process by which a mobile app is developed for mobile devices, such as personal digital assistants, enterprise digital assistants or mobile phones. These applications can be pre-installed on phones during manufacturing platforms, or delivered as web applications using server-side or client-side processing (e.g., JavaScript) to provide an "application-like" experience within a Web browser.
As part of the development process, mobile user interface (UI) design is also essential in the creation of mobile apps. Mobile UI considers constraints, contexts, screen, input, and mobility as outlines for design. The user is often the focus of interaction with their device, and the interface entails components of both hardware and software.
Mobile UI design constraints include limited attention and form factors, such as a mobile device's screen size for a user's hand(s).
Overall, mobile UI design's goal is mainly for an understandable, user-friendly interface. The UI of mobile apps should: consider users' limited attention, minimize keystrokes, and be task-oriented with a minimum set of functions
One of the most important tasks when developing mobile applications is to choose a suitable platform. Which is better: native or cross-platform solutions? Here we’ll try to briefly describe both of them and if you need any further information, feel free to contact us.
Native apps are the apps that are specifically designed for a certain OS and smoothly operate on the devices with that OS. Such apps can easily use all the device functions (camera, microphone, accelerometer, etc.) and herewith they need fewer resources (battery, memory, etc.). Depending on their purpose, apps can require or not an Internet connection.
Cross-platform development involves the use of special utilities (frameworks) for creating JavaScript-based applications. The whole app structure and logics is created with the help of such tools in JavaScript (React Native, PhoneGap, Titanium, etc.) and then it is wrapped with the native starting element, allowing you to create the projects with the same logics for multiple operating systems at once.
