When Thinking about Developing Mobile Applications, business owners have one primary question in mind, what to choose between native vs. cross-platform. This is one of the most fundamental decision that has to be made, and is not easy. Check it out

1. For Business Success, Choose
CROSS PLATFORM APP DEVELOPMENT

2. Introduction
To
Cross Platform
APP DEVELOPMENT

3. • Beautiful, usable, real-world apps
• Test it thoroughly through unit testing, test automation, testing
on various platforms and devices, testing on different screen
sizes, etc, before the apps goes out in the wild.
• Better user experience in terms of functionality, improved
usability and interactive designs.
• Great performance with super fast response times

4. • Better communication and quick turnaround times
• Iterative design and development of apps through Scrum and
Extreme Programming Methodologies
• Post development support through your preferred
communication medium
• Assured customer satisfaction and continuous improvement for
all your apps

5. Look For Following Expertise In Cross
Platform App Development Company

6. • Expert Hands in Latest Frameworks – PhoneGap, Appcelerator,
Titanium, Xamarin, Signature Touch.
• Proficient in Cross Platform Programming with - ActionScript,
JavaScript, Jquery, HTML and Flex programming.
• Agile cross-platform development methodology.
• Collaborative, communicative and transparent approach with
clients.

7. • Comprehensive quality assurance (QA) testing before project
“Go Live” event.
• In-house, front-end experts:
• Business Analysts
• UX/UI Specialists
• Designers
• Shorter development times translating to lower costs for
customers.

8. Benefits
of
Cross Platform
APP DEVELOPMENT

9. • It can be potentially faster to develop a cross platform mobile
app rather than a native app for iOS and Android.
• You can leverage one codebase and customize for multiple
platforms instead of creating a new codebase for each platform.
• Making one cross-platform app functional across all platforms
can also be more efficient than building multiple native apps
from scratch.
Speed

10. • In theory, its more cost effective to build a cross platform
solution for multiple platforms because it leverages one
codebase.
• This is generally true unless, the application requires a lot of
customization for each platform.
Costs

11. • Updates to your cross-platform app would, naturally, be
instantly synced across all platforms and devices.
• There are also a number of technologies like PhoneGap and
Appcelerator offering a cross-platform solution that one team of
developers can more easily handle to deploy changes.
Simplicity

12. 6 Best Cross Platform
Mobile Development Tools

13. • Sencha is a tool that lets you develop your apps in HTML5.
• Their main product for app developers, though they have many, is Ext Js 5.
Developers choose it because it works across a handful of devices on different
platforms and boosts productivity with pre-built components that save teams lots
of time when writing code. (So it’s not exactly a translation tool, but it is a huge
time saver.)
• Once you have your HTML5 code developed, you can translate it to both the iOS
and Android platforms using a translation tool like PhoneGap (see below).
Tool #1: Sencha

14. Tool #2: PhoneGap
• Owned by Adobe, PhoneGap is a free resource that first-time app developers can
use to translate code from HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript.
• They maintain SDKs (software development kits) on their end for each of the
platforms you can develop an app for, so it’s one less thing you have to worry
about. And once your app is completed, you can share it with your team
members for review to see if you need to make any improvements.
• Beyond iOS and Android, PhoneGap also creates apps
for BlackBerry and Windows. So it is truly a cross platform mobile development
tool!

15. Tool #3: Appcelerator Titanium
• Using JavaScript, Titanium’s SDK creates native iOS and Android apps while
reusing anywhere from 60% to 90% of the same code for all the apps you make,
thereby saving you a significant amount of time.
• And because this is an open-source tool, hundreds of thousands of your fellow
developers are constantly contributing to it to make it better and give it more
functionality. And if you happen to find a bug in its system, you can too.

16. Tool #4: Cocos2d
• Cocos2d is primarily used in two-dimensional game development. It gives
developers the option of five different forks or platforms to develop on, based on
their preferred programming language:
• Cocos2d-x uses C++
• Cocos2d-JS uses JavaScript
• Cocos2dXNA uses C#
• Cocos2d-Swift uses Xcode and Objective-C
• Cocos2d(Python) uses Python

17. Tool #5: Unity 3D
• Also focused on creating great games, Unity 3D is a game engine you can use if
you really want to take care of your incredible graphics.
• This cross platform mobile development tool goes beyond simple translation.
After developing your code in UnityScript, C#, or Boo, you can export your games
to 17 different platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows,
Web, Playstation, Xbox, Wii and Linux.
• Once you’ve got your game on all your chosen platforms, Unity will even help you
distribute it to the appropriate stores, get social shares, and track user analytics.

18. Tool #6: Corona
• Corona’s SDK comes with the promise that you can start coding your new app in
as little as five minutes after the download. It’s another cross platform mobile
development tool that’s optimized for 2D gaming graphics and helps you make
games 10 times faster than it would take to code everything from scratch.
• Corona’s programming language is Lua, which is written in C, making it a cross
platform language. Corona chose Lua because they found it to be really robust
with a small footprint for mobile apps.
