Cross-Plat<strong>for</strong>m <strong>App</strong><br />

<strong>Development</strong> Frameworks<br />

Cross-plat<strong>for</strong>m app development frameworks facilitate the<br />

creation of such software applications that are compatible across<br />

a variety of operating system ranging from Android to iOS. With<br />

its reusable code component system, it helps developers<br />

leverage the program developed <strong>for</strong> one app again and again.<br />

To put it in other words, it makes use of a single source code<br />

amidst multiple plat<strong>for</strong>ms. This, in turn, plays a significant role in<br />

speeding up the whole app development process along with<br />

significant cost reduction. Here's a detailed look at some of the<br />

significant cross-plat<strong>for</strong>m app development frameworks.<br />

WWW.TECHTIC.COM


React Native<br />

React Native is another cross-app<br />

development framework that has<br />

accelerated the development process of<br />

apps. It has over 1.6k contributors who<br />

have committed code to this framework’s<br />

codebase.<br />

It uses JavaScript and Reacts to build<br />

Native Android and iOS <strong>Mobile</strong> apps. It<br />

can leverage complex UI and<br />

component-based UI. This, in turn, helps<br />

developers utilize the same UI<br />

component to React Native iOS and<br />

Android apps. This is the reason its<br />

popularity has doubled up in the past<br />

few years.<br />

Let's take a deep insight into what it has in store <strong>for</strong> the developers.<br />

WWW.TECHTIC.COM


01<br />

Facilitates Code<br />

Reuse and cost Saving<br />

02<br />

Comes up With<br />

Live Reloading<br />

React Native facilitates the reuse<br />

Live Reload allows the developer<br />

of 90% of code between Android<br />

to immediately see the result of<br />

and iOS. It means that the same<br />

any changes made in the code.<br />

code can be deployed on both<br />

While one window will show the<br />

plat<strong>for</strong>ms. This wouldn't only<br />

code, the other window will<br />

reduce the development time<br />

display the effect of changes<br />

but, also enhance the<br />

made in the app.<br />

cost-saving considerably.<br />

03<br />

Robust Per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />

React Native is super-fast and robust in<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance. The use of GPU (Graphics Processing<br />

Unit) makes the React Native architecture well-tuned<br />

and compatible with all the devices.<br />

Techtic, with its excellent team of developers, has a<br />

thorough knowledge of React Native's modular and<br />

intuitive interface. This makes them a pro at creating<br />

apps that are easy to develop and maintain.<br />

Ionic<br />

Ionic is a cross-plat<strong>for</strong>m framework that facilitates the development of interactive<br />

mobile apps that can get deployed across different plat<strong>for</strong>ms ranging from<br />

Android, iOS, windows, and web. It is a free and open source framework created<br />

on top of Angular JS and PhoneGap. It was one of the leading cross plat<strong>for</strong>m<br />

framework in 2016.<br />

Ionic provides a variety of tools <strong>for</strong> the development of hybrid mobile apps with<br />

the help of technologies such as CSS, HTML5, and SASS. Further, it even has a<br />

plethora of features ranging from Bluetooth, HealthKit, Finger Print Auth,<br />

PhoneGap plugins and TypeScript extensions. These features make the overall<br />

development of advanced apps easy. Here's a look at its various advantages.<br />

01<br />

Learning is Easy<br />

Ionic is an easy to learn development framework. All a developer needs<br />

to have is the general familiarity with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.<br />

WWW.TECHTIC.COM


02<br />

Reduced<br />

<strong>Development</strong> Time<br />

03<br />

Higher Feasibility<br />

Since Ionic apps run on<br />

different plat<strong>for</strong>ms such as<br />

Android, iOS, windows, etc.,<br />

it saves a developer from<br />

writing different codes <strong>for</strong><br />

each plat<strong>for</strong>m. A code<br />

written <strong>for</strong> one app can be<br />

deployed across all the iOS,<br />

Ionic helps in the development<br />

of cross-plat<strong>for</strong>m apps with<br />

optimum utilization of<br />

resources such as time, assets<br />

and ef<strong>for</strong>ts. This facilitates a<br />

unified look and feel of the<br />

app while enhancing its<br />

feasibility.<br />

Android, and Windows<br />

Techtic has all the expertise to<br />

devices. This, in turn,<br />

build applications based on<br />

reduces the overall<br />

Ionic rapidly. The developers<br />

development time a lot.<br />

here know how to deploy<br />

standard tools with a single<br />

code base.<br />

Flutter<br />

Flutter is a modern development kit by Google, that will facilitate the<br />

development of mobile apps <strong>for</strong> Android, iOS, and Google Fuchsia, a new<br />

plat<strong>for</strong>m being developed by Google.<br />

Since its inception, Flutter has got immensely popular among the<br />

developers—as evident from the graph shown below:<br />

01<br />

Hot Reload<br />

Hot reload refers to the fact that developers can preview all the changes made<br />

to the code in the app itself. It hardly takes few seconds to visualize the<br />

changes, thereby enabling the developers to directly experiment, resolve any<br />

technical glitches or buds, and add new features. Consequently, you will be<br />

able to ensure more effective collaboration between the developers and<br />

designers.<br />

WWW.TECHTIC.COM


That said, let’s take a deep dive into the advantages of using Flutter.<br />

02<br />

Ideal <strong>for</strong> Minimum Viable Product (MVP)<br />

In case you want your investors to see the product on a short notice, Flutter<br />

mobile application can help you out. The app will look native on both Android<br />

and iOS. This will give your investors a complete picture of the MVP. While<br />

developing two separate apps would be time-consuming, Flutter makes things<br />

easy <strong>for</strong> the developer.<br />

03<br />

Less Code<br />

Flutter uses Dart as the programming language. It is similar to React Native as<br />

the programming style is reactive and declarative. It enhances the app startup<br />

times and overall per<strong>for</strong>mance as no JavaScript bridge is needed. This is easily<br />

achieved with the help of 'Ahead-of-Time' or AOT compilation used by Dart.<br />

It also takes help of Just-in-Time or JIT compilation which ultimately refines the<br />

development workflow as it enables hot reload capability to refresh the user<br />

interface during development, thereby eliminating the need of building a new<br />

version. As Flutter uses less code, there is little likelihood of bugs.<br />

with excellent tools that facilitate the building of cross-plat<strong>for</strong>m apps but, also<br />

consists of all the native features along with the ability to share a common code<br />

base.<br />

All in all, Xamarin is an excellent plat<strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong> building an app that's high on<br />

functionality and support. From letting the developer include added functionalities<br />

through simple plugins to integrating the application with popular backends,<br />

Xamarin does it all like a pro. Here's a sneak peek in its various advantages.<br />

01<br />

The Enhanced <strong>App</strong><br />

<strong>Development</strong> Cycle<br />

Since Xamarin contains reusable<br />

code, 90% of it can get recycled<br />

<strong>for</strong> app development across<br />

various plat<strong>for</strong>ms. This doesn't<br />

only accelerate the pace of<br />

development but also reduces<br />

the period of the product<br />

development lifecycle.<br />

WWW.TECHTIC.COM


02<br />

Facilitates Rapid <strong>Mobile</strong> <strong>App</strong><br />

<strong>Development</strong> <strong>for</strong> Business<br />

classes <strong>for</strong> which the developers<br />

do not have the source code. It<br />

facilitates a more ef<strong>for</strong>tless<br />

extension to classes without the<br />

need <strong>for</strong> subclassing.<br />

03<br />

Impeccable Run-Time<br />

Objective-C comes with perfect run time. From creating messages in<br />

run time and creating dynamic classes to the addition of methods to<br />

existing classes to changing method implementations, it does it all<br />

effectively.<br />

Objective-C is a high-end programming language. The developers at<br />
