This document discusses different types of mobile app development approaches including native, cross-platform, web-based, and hybrid. It outlines the pros and cons of each approach in developing apps for various mobile operating systems such as iOS, Android, and others. Native apps are easiest to develop for a single platform but have low code reusability, while cross-platform and hybrid apps have higher code reusability but limited access to native device APIs.

- 11. • Binary executable per device easy to recognize • Easy access to API’s available by OS faster performance • SDK’s are platform-specific easy to develop
- 12. • Code Reusability Low • Development & maintenance Time-consuming & expensive. • Designers are required to be familiar with different UI components of each OS more complexity and confusion for single developer • Upgrade flexibility Low
- 13. • Single source codebase easy to develop and maintain • Works with different target platforms in-budget and in-time • Extension of ‘known’ background no additional languages
- 14. • Limited native API access, ultimately ‘a library’ is using library • Doesn’t generate source code no further tweaking, like LongPress event of TextField • If web-based run on browser, which ‘it self’ is an application • UI mapping is the biggest issue , like...
Editor's Notes
- #16: Once the app is installed, it interacts with the underlying operating system through proprietary API calls that the OS exposes. These are divided into 2 categories – Low-level API’s & high level API’s. Through low-level API calls, the app can interact directly with the touchscreen or keyboard, render graphics, connect to networks, process audio received from the microphone, receive images & video from the camera, access the GPS etc. Higher level services include processes like browsing the web, managing calendar, contacts, photo album, the ability to send and receive phone calls etc.
