Suppose you are trying to decide whether to use native mobile application development or a hybrid mobile application development approach for your project. In that case, there are numerous considerations, and you will, of course, have to look closely at your business requirements. This article focuses on just two of the crucial differences between native and hybrid mobile application development and may help get your discussions started. First, let’s explain the two approaches in a bit more detail. Using this process, developers will create separate code for a ‘native’ platform – that is, iOS for Apple devices or Android for Android devices. If your business wishes to satisfy user requirements for both operating systems (OS), you will have to create and maintain two mobile application versions. This cross-platform approach allows developers to satisfy requirements for both iOS and Android by creating one code to serve both types of devices. As a result, this single mobile application project will produce a software product that will run on both operating systems (OS). Now that we have reviewed the definitions of Native and Hybrid Mobile Application development let’s look at two of the crucial differences between these two approaches.
