NATIVE VS HYBRID APP DEVELOPMENT: Considering Pros and Cons

 

Native VS Hybrid App Development


What Is A Native App?

A native app will make full use of the latest technology and has access to certain hardware, such as GPS, camera, and contact list. They don’t necessarily need an internet connection as the app itself is installed directly onto the smartphone acquired through App Store or Google Play, meaning they are built specifically for either mobile operating systems; Apple iOS, or Android OS. The app is written in the code specifically for the device and its OS and has separate app versions for each device, or brand, in order for it to work at its best. The native app is built for a particular platform with SDK, tools, and languages which are typically provided by the platform vendor e.g. XCode/Objective-C for iOS or Eclipse/Java for Android.

What Is A Hybrid App?

Hybrid apps are much less expensive and can be installed on a device like any other app launching onto both apple and android simultaneously. They have a quick development time meaning you can get the app to the consumer market quickly. The apps themselves are written with the same technology as those used for websites and mobile web implementations as they are a marriage of web technology and native execution. As they run inside a native container and leverage the device’s browser engine (but not the browser itself) in order to render the HTML and process JavaScript locally. By having a web-to-native abstraction layer it enables the app to access the device’s capabilities that aren’t accessible in Mobile Web applications, such as the camera. Hybrid apps are a combination of both native apps and web apps they have essentially been molded into a native shell. They are a popular choice as it allows developers to write code for a mobile app once and still accommodates multiple platforms.
