Native Cross-Platform Frameworks: Which to use?

Software development teams are always looking for tools to help them more efficient — and to provide their users with better apps. This is particularly true today when it comes to app creation. With the growth of our market, technologies we create are more commonly used and more connected devices than ever before.

Tools that can help developers to build cross - platform experiences and reuse code, features and prototypes can be extremely valuable with this sophistication. Cross - platform systems will reduce development costs — and off. The more technologies you are able to share across networks, the quicker you are able to market the app idea. Yet saving money and this time isn't a one-time thing. The experience further simplifies support and maintenance using cross - platform tools and leads to the constant development of the product roadmap.

React-Native App Development

Like other cross-platform development frameworks, React Native was developed to help streamline application development – but built around popular web development tools beginning from JavaScript. React Native combines the best elements of native development with React, a JavaScript platform for user interface design.

In principle, it seems incredibly helpful to use a JavaScript framework for cross - platform mobile applications — and the similarities with the React JS syntax makes it even more fascinating. It is possible to develop both native apps and web applications using the same language and syntax.

React Native was developed during a hackathon on Facebook in 2013 and became open source in 2015. Facebook continues to invest and customer growth is accelerating in the React environment. Organizations such as Twitter, Airbnb, Uber, Target and Pinterest have introduced development of React Native apps.

Appcelerator Titanium

Appcelerator Titanium is another great mobile app development platform which can be used for fast app development launched on 25 November 2019. This application enables you to build cross - platform apps for different mobile platforms like Android and iOS.

This mobile app development platform allows you to build apps very quickly through drag - and - drop features. While you don't have a lot of software development experience, you can create a mobile app quickly with this great tool.

Titanium gives you a free version of this programme, but not all features and equipment. You are therefore required to purchase the premium version of this framework for mobile app development.
