“Native apps” are taking more time to develop compared to cross-platform apps. Cross-platform technology provides faster deployment and without compromise the quality.

“In 2012 Mark Zuckerberg commented, “The biggest mistake we made as a company was betting too much on HTML5 as opposed to native”. React Native was announced at Facebook’s React.js conference in February 2015 and open-sourced in March 2015.”

React native is the best solution developers find to develop fast and rapidly transforming apps. And that's why React native becomes famous.

“React Native has unlocked native mobile development to web engineers who may now apply their skills to build iOS and Android applications in JavaScript. For the first time, cross-platform JavaScript-based applications feel as if they were written in the native language of choice for the platforms.”

— Jeff Meyerson, the creator of the podcast Software Engineering Daily

Let’s discuss each topic separately so that we can have the great read until the end.

Reasons why React Native consider as the FUTURE OF MOBILE APPS, pros, and cons of React Native.

1. Create Cross-Platform (Android and iOS) Apps

The main benefit for the React Native is you can have only one team to develop your Android and iOS apps mean cost-cutting and time-saving. You won’t need the different code for both the platforms you need only one codebase which works for both Android and iOS. Not even in developing you will save time on testing and updates too because you only need to test run one application.

Talking about the cons of React Native

Now let’s talk about the Native Apps. and also discuss the Pros and Cons of the Native Apps.

When it comes to the platform-specific application development Native apps are the option. If the App is for the Android platform, it will use the java; If the app is for the windows platform, it will use c#; If the app is for the iOS platform, it will use the Objective C or Swift.

When it comes to Native Apps and it’s a platform specific application it has the full liberty to use all the native features available, such as camera, contact list, Bluthoot, and GPS.

Native Apps are downloadable from their App stores, for Android Google Play Store, and for iOS/Apple App Store.

Native Apps provide app developers with the standardize SDK, a software development kit with a set of tools, libraries, documentation, code samples, and guide so that developers can develop the apps for the particular application.

There is specific design IDE for platforms like Android and iOS, Google provides Android Studio for Android app development and Apple provides the XCode for Apple application development. This software helps the developers as a code editor, a compiler, a debugger and also helps in finding the bug.

Pros and Cons of Native Apps

Pros of Native Apps

1. Performance

Native apps work with the device's built-in features - like the camera, microphone, etc. - they're are easier to work with and perform better on the device.

1. Interactive and Perspective

When you create the platform specific application you will get the good user experience as it follows the development guideline of the specific operating system.

The flow of the application is very natural as it develops for the specific platform followed by the specific guidelines.

Cons of Native Apps

1. Doubled the time and price

Native application development is the platform-specific development means if you need a single app in both the platform you need a separate team and the cost will also increase because you need the developers that are experienced in Android and another team for the iOS.

Means you need more developers and thus the cost will increase as the team increase.

Developing Native apps takes more time and more money as it needs more sources.

Maintainance cost is also high for native apps.

So, Native Applications are costly and need more time to develop.

1. No Flexibility

Developers have no flexibility regarding the platform for developing native applications.

Developers have to code separately for Android and iOS at a time.

If you are hiring for your native app idea you will have to hire two teams one for the Android and other for the iOS.

At last, Native Apps can be profitable for many companies but not for all. Some of the startups have less budget and have less time can choose another option as React Native the platform has its own benefits.
