Evolution? MOBILE APP

These development methodologies have been introduced through the time, but they are not improvements of the previous ones. Instead, they try and solve two specific needs:

● Reduce development time● Increase conversions

Native AppNATIVE APP

“Native Apps are built for specific platforms and are written in languages that the platform accepts”

● Published on the App Store● Need to be installed● OS specific programming

languages

But..NATIVE APP

● Require specific platforms programming knowledge (Java, Objective-C, Swift, C++)

● Must be developed for every single platform

● Slow distribution time ● App Store subscription

● Code portability● Distributed in the App Store● Web development skills required

13

But..HYBRID APP

● Slow distribution time ● App Store subscription● Lower performance than Native Apps● Still require specific web

programming knowledge

Two different ApproachesHYBRID APP
