Native & hybrid apps – A quick overview

 

Native app development

 

A native mobile app is an application created for use in a single particular platform or device, like Android, iOS, BlackBerry or Windows.

 

A native app is specially made and coded for a specific mobile platform in its native programming language –

 

iOS (Objective-C or Swift)

Android (Java, Kotlin)

Windows Phone (C#)

There are different guidelines for each of these platforms and developers need to stick to them as they differ in typography, graphic styles, gestures, visual effects, data entry etc.

 

Hybrid app development

 

A hybrid app is created as a single app for use on multiple platforms like Android, iPhone, and Windows.

 

Hybrid applications are actually native apps and web apps combined together.
