Mobile apps are quickly becoming the chosen method for building stronger relationships with customers. They offer a platform for customers to place orders, request service, and accrue loyalty points. These apps’ customer facing nature means that its programming must be flawless, making the decision for the apps’ developmental approach a very important one. There are typically two methods, including native app development and React Native. Both have their pros and cons, and therefore must be carefully weighed before the business moves forward with their app development.
When a mobile app is created specifically for the operating system it will operate on, it is referred to as native app development. This means that separate applications will need to be created for iOS or Android using their respective programming languages (Swift or Objective-C for iOS apps and Koltin or Java for Android apps). Although native app development takes more time and work to create multiple versions, its performance and user experience are unmatched. React Native applications differ by using the same JavaScript framework across all operating systems. Smaller development teams and less time is required to build the app because the same codebase can be used for both operating systems. However, they typically have a less smooth UI/UX experience.
