Cross-platform Apps
Reduce the development and maintenance effort with cross-platform apps that function across mobile platforms and devices.
Cross-platform apps are developed using an intermediate language, such as Javascript, that is not native to the device’s operating system. This means that some, or all, of the code can be shared across platforms for instance, across iOS and Android.
New features for the app can be released at the same time across the platforms, giving all users the same experience while also still rendering the user interface using the platforms ‘native’ controls.
Access to the device and operating system features, however, are reliant on framework or plug-in support.
Major cross-platform development tools include Xamarin, PhoneGap, Appcelerator, React Native and NativeScript.
