What is Multiplatform Application Development?
Cross-platform app development aims at the process of creating an application that works on multiple platforms. This is done by using tools such as React Native and Flutter, where the apps created can be deployed on both Android and iOS.
Startups are greatly favored in reducing time and costs with cross-platform development. However, you should keep in mind that it can be more complex to customize the application beyond what is allowed in the development framework.
Advantages of Cross-Platform Application Development
Dedicated Team
Instead of having two teams of developers, only one will be needed to create a cross-platform application. Therefore, you will also save on development cost.
Faster development
Only one development cycle is needed to create an application that runs on multiple platforms.
What to consider when opting for the development of this type of apps
Cost
Native development produces applications with high performance, but they can be expensive to build. If you have a limited budget to work with, cross-platform development is the ideal choice. You’ll save around 30% -40% since only a single code base is created for an app that works on both Android and iOS.
Development Time
In some projects, you’ll want to install a cross-platform app in as little time as possible. This is where you’re going to consider developing this type of app. It only takes one development cycle for an Android and iOS app to launch.
UI / UX
If you’re looking for amazing visual experiences and effects, native development is the answer. Developers have access to UI / UX components when developing in a native environment. Opting for cross-platform will greatly limit the UI / UX element of the app.
