  1.         Why are Businesses  Choosing  Cross-Platform  Applications?                                   

  2.   Over the years, the mobile development market has seen the emergence of 3 main                             families of applications. Native applications, which are mobile applications                   developed with a language specific to the OS such as Swift/Objective-C for iOS and                             Java/Kotlin for Android.    Hybrid applications, which use web technologies (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) and                       which are displayed in web views in applications. Ionic, Cordova, and Phonegap are                           examples of hybrid technologies.        Cross-platform applications, which are native mobile applications generated from a                     single code base. Thanks to technologies like Xamarin, React Native, or even                         Flutter, it is possible to generate applications for several OS without having to                           develop several distinct applications.    In recent years, more and more brands are choosing cross-platform applications.                       Why are they making this choice? Here are the strengths of this type of mobile                               application.    1 

  3.   The Need For Mobile Applications  The need for a mobile application is often linked to accessibility because the use of                               smartphones and mobile applications has exploded. Brands seek to be accessible to                         the majority of users and therefore target the two most used platforms: iOS and                             Android. The functionality is generally similar on both platforms. When they target                         several platforms and the applications share the same functional need, it is then                           interesting to share the same code base.    The Cost  When multiple OSs are targeted, a cross-platform app has a lower overall cost than                             a native app. This is explained by the very principle of multiplatform technologies –                             sharing the same code base between the different OS. And even if certain costs                             cannot be reduced, such as the time spent testing each version, development time                           is considerably accelerated.    Benefits For Users Interface (UI)  Sharing the same code base has the advantage of keeping good graphic consistency                           between the different versions. Even if the native elements used like the navigation                           bars or the alerts will have a style specific to the OS, the interface will generally                                 look the same on the different platforms. No more unintended differences between                         platforms!    Multi-Platform Application  For those who see this as a problem, however, it is possible to make code specific to                                   each platform, whether in terms of functionality or graphics.    In addition to being able to maintain graphical consistency, cross-platform                     applications make it possible to create user interfaces with close-to-native                     2 

  4.   rendering, satisfactory interactions, and animations, unlike the rendering of hybrid                     applications.    The Advantages For The Evolution  By basing its application on a multiplatform technology, the future integration of a                           new platform is facilitated. It is, therefore, possible to start your project by                           targeting only iOS and add Android later. In addition to mobile platforms, it is                             possible to evolve mobile applications to web applications or even desktop                       applications without having to start a new project.    The Benefits For Development Teams  Multi-platform technologies have advantages for building development teams                 because the application is based on a single programming language. The size of the                             teams can then be reduced and the synergy between the members made stronger.                           Collaboration is easier because developers “speak the same language”, which can                       have a positive impact on the quality of the project. Even if the language remains                               common between the platforms, it is recommended to have a minimum of ​native development​ knowledge, especially on the deployment part on the stores.                              And The Performance?  Finally, one of the most important points of a ​mobile application is performance. Given the phenomenal quantity of mobile applications available on the market,                                                 performance is a crucial issue. Unlike hybrid apps, which use HTML, CSS, and                           JavaScript in web views, cross-platform technologies use native OS components.                     The performance is then close to native and that is why so many players in the                                 sector are choosing these technologies.    3 

  5.   In addition, since cross-platform technologies are often compatible with native                     projects, it is possible to mix native code and cross-platform code in the same                             application. For features with very high-performance needs, such as for Machine                       Learning or augmented reality, it will be possible to use native code only for a                               specific part of the application.    To Conclude  Cross-platform technologies have become very popular, both with developers and                     businesses. For example, React Native is one of the most popular projects on the                             GitHub platform, with over 75,000 stars. The popularity is also ensured by the                           companies which use them, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Uber with React                         Native, Google, and Alibaba with Flutter, or even Fox and UPS with Xamarin.    Whether for reasons of cost control, their popularity or their near-native                       performance, cross-platform applications are now an important part of new mobile                       application projects, and this trend is strengthening day by day. Multi-platform                       technologies are more and more widespread and it is important to sensitize                         companies on these technologies which constitute new opportunities and                   alternatives to be seriously considered.    If you are looking to leverage the power of cross-platform application development                         for your project, ​contact us​.
