1. Most Common Cross
Platform Mobile Application
Development Tools

2. Introduction
• Developing separate apps for each mobile platform could be quite a
daunting task. This is exactly why cross platform mobile application
development is becoming popular.
• Without cross platform development, you would need to keep a track
of the code on each and every platform and ensure that the code is
updates separately for all of them.
• With cross platform apps, you can code once and maintain only one
code base for all the platforms.
• You can create the code once and use it on as many platforms as the
tool supports.
• These types of apps are preferred over native apps or web apps.
