Give your employees custom enterprise mobility apps, which let them access what they need where they need it.
When you build for iOS first, you reach a more affluent demographic that spends more on apps than Android.
When you build for Android first, you target emerging markets and the largest active mobile user base.
We always recommend developing native iOS apps written in Swift and native Android apps written in Java because native mobile apps provide the best user experience.
Advantages - Native apps are fast and can be optimized to work in areas with poor network connectivity. Gain access to all platform-level device, gesture and user interface (UI) features when you build native iOS and Android apps.
Disadvantages - Because native apps need to be rewritten for each platform, you need to budget more for design and development. It’s common to stagger the development of your native iOS and Android apps, so the overall timeline for both platforms will be much longer than building a single hybrid app.
When you need to launch your mobile product on multiple platforms and you don’t have the budget for native apps, we recommend building hybrid apps with PhoneGap or Ionic.
Advantages - Save on development costs and get your product to market sooner when you build a hybrid mobile app. Hybrid app frameworks also reduce the number of codebases your development team needs to maintain, which saves you more money.
Disadvantages - Hybrid apps are often much slower when compared to native mobile apps, which can cause your customers to use your competitor's products. When hybrid apps are optimized for performance and given offline capabilities, the amount of development time required to build your product increases significantly.
