Mobile App Development<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

How mobile applications are transforming the business world<\/span><\/span><\/h2>
<\/div>

Mobile applications (apps for short) have become an important part of our lives nowadays. In many large and medium-sized companies alike, they contribute to increasing value. The spectrum ranges from providing customers with useful information to providing services for employees. <\/p>\n

As popular as these apps are, they are also complicated to develop. For this reason, more and more mobile application development platforms (MADPs) have become established on the market in the past. The advantages these offer for the creation of company apps are explained in more detail below.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

History<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

\n

Mobile app development has created a new, enormously successful and highly dynamic area of industrial software development in recent years. Even though the first mobile apps appeared on the market in the 1990s, the real breakthrough only began with the opening of the Apple App Store on July 11, 2008 in San Francisco. <\/p>\n

Immediately after the launch, more than 100 million applications were downloaded via the App Store. More than 3,000 native applications were available to iPhone and iPod users at this time. With this launch, Apple set a new standard that has been established to this day. The development of mobile apps is now an everyday task for companies. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Creating “Mobile Apps”<\/span><\/span><\/h2>
<\/div>
\n

The creation of mobile applications is similar to web application development and therefore has its roots in traditional software development. However, a critical difference is that mobile apps are often developed specifically to take advantage of the unique features of a particular mobile device. Depending on the device type and platform, app development is therefore very different. Development environments, programming languages and processes vary greatly. For this reason, apps currently have to be developed separately for each platform. <\/p>\n

Due to the different programming interfaces (APIs for short), code reusability is only possible to a limited extent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TYPES OF MOBILE APPS: WEB VS. NATIVE VS. HYBRID<\/strong><\/p>\n

When developing a mobile app, the question of whether the end product is a web-based, native or hybrid mobile application should be asked at the outset. In order to provide an answer, a number of factors should be taken into account, which are explained in more detail below. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
