What is Hybrid App development?
Do you ever realize the difference between hybrid app and native app when you download, install and use any app from app store? Visually and aesthetically, it is difficult to separate mobile apps in two baskets – Hybrid and Native.
Native apps are developed considering specific platform like iOS, Android etc. Web apps are primarily apps that run on browsers. Hybrid app is combination of web app and native app. Hybrid apps are developed using web technologies like JavaScripts, HTML and CSS by mobile application development companies. In addition to web technologies, it also contains some native code to make it portable and compatible with all mobile devices.
Hybrid app is a good choice for mobile application development companies as it requires developing one application that is portable and compatible with all mobile device platforms like iOS, Android and Windows. This reduces overall time and cost of mobile app development making it more lucrative option over Native app development .
Ionic, Xamarin, Telerik AppBuilder, React Native are some of the platforms to use for Hybrid app development. Xamarin has been taken over by Microsoft recently. Telerik AppBuilder is in market since long.
