different web technologies like HTML, CSS, etc. This flexibility has led to a surge in
Ionic’s popularity over the years. There are multiple approaches to ionic mobile app

standard functionalities needed for developing a great app, making it more technically
challenging than following the conventional angular-ionic mobile app development route.
