software for over four years. This means you can trust our words, and the
knowledge we have shared in this document.

3. Top Mobile App Development Programming Languages
Swift
Swift is the first choice of mobile app developers who are tasked to create an
application for Apple devices. It is a powerful iOS development language. Swift has a
lot of advanced features. Plus, it ensures very minimal coding to make the app code
less cluttered. We have used Swift to create various applications for macOS, iOS,
watchOS, tvOS, etc.
Java
Java is an object-oriented programming language. It gained recognition after the
launch of Android in 2008. Ever since then, Java has become the prime choice of
mobile app developers to create high-quality Android applications. This language is
pretty standard in the industry. Its flexible, extensible, and modular architecture
makes it unique. Java is not just easy to handle, but also stable, and has several
libraries to speed up developers' work.

4. C++
C++ is the sister language of Objective-C which was earlier used to develop mobile
apps for Apple devices. C++ helps create a simple base for most programming
languages. It has all the power to create dynamic technology apps. With C++, we
only need to write the code once and use it to develop apps for different platforms
including Android, iOS, and Windows. C++ follows an effective compiler-based
approach, which makes it a versatile tool for multiple platforms.
HTML 5
If you are looking to develop a highly responsive web-frontend application for
mobile devices, look no further than HTML5. Standing against cross-platform mobile
app development, HTML5 helps deliver the absolute customer experience through
its unique functionalities. The 'Write once run anywhere' architecture of HTML5
improves the application's time to market. It is also requested for its ability to make
the development process cost-effective and features like offline browsing.
PHP
PHP is an easy language to learn. It is object-oriented and uses a three-layered
model to help create dynamic mobile apps and web applications. Additionally, it is
highly suitable for apps that require database integration.
PHP frameworks such as Laravel, Lumen, CodeIgniter, and Symfony are being used
to build mobile apps that need a lot of data. These frameworks make it easier to
cache data, authenticate users, and create routes. Large-scale app projects prefer
this open-source language because it is simple to use.
PHP offers lots of tools that you can use to create mobile apps. These tools are
called developer tools. They let you build mobile apps from scratch and they work on
different platforms, so more people can see your app.

5. Top Tools to Use for Mobile App Development
1) PhoneGap
PhoneGap is an open-source mobile app development framework. It is also popular
in the market by the name 'Apache Cordova'. PhoneGap uses HTML5, CSS3, and
JavaScript to create native applications for Android, iOS, and Windows. Using
PhoneGap we can mix native and hybrid code snippets. This results in applications
that are neither fully native mobile nor web-based.
2) RhoMobile
RhoMobile Suite is a powerful open-source framework that supports native app
development for multiple platforms. Developers use it to build cross-platform and
native consumer and enterprise mobile applications. This framework also uses web
technologies like CSS3, HTML5, and JavaScript for Android and Windows app
development. Plus, it also supports Ruby to create iOS apps.
3) Appcelerator
Appcelerator is the industry's standard framework to create hardware-based mobile
apps. It uses PHP with JavaScript and HTML. We have used it to create native mobile
apps for Android, Windows UWP, and iOS.

6. 4) WidgetPad
WidgetPad is another great framework that is used by mobile app developers in the
industry. It uses web technologies like HTML5 and JavaScript. It also has several
features like versioning, distribution, and code editing. We have used WidgetPad to
create apps for web, iOS, and Android devices.
5) MoSync
MoSync is a multi-platform mobile app development kit. It uses programming
languages such as Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, and Python. Developers integrate it with
Eclipse-based IDE. Only then does it help in native mobile app development for
multiple platforms.
Top Frameworks for Mobile Application Development
React Native
A leading JavaScript framework to develop native mobile apps, React Native is the
top choice among mobile app developers. It supports a lot of IDEs and mobile app
development toolkits. Furthermore, it can engineer applications with a single code
base that works on both Android and iOS.

7. Native apps built with React Native framework carry the same design as React.
These apps are as powerful as a native app built from Java or Swift. Their
performance can not be distinguished. To learn more about this framework, you
may get in touch with a React Native Development Company. They will be more
than happy to clear your doubts.
Xamarin
This cross-platform framework lets you use the same code to create apps that work
on iOS, Android, Windows, and other platforms. This means that your app will look
and function the same on all devices. Xamarin also has some coding advantages
that make it a great choice for creating apps.
This framework is also rated best to save money and time when making an
enterprise-grade mobile app. With Xamarin, you can create native Android, iOS, and
Windows apps with just one code base. The framework also gives you access to all
of the features that are available on each platform and device.
Flutter
Flutter is a new technology that is used to develop mobile apps for different
platforms. It uses "Dart" as a programming language which makes it faster and
easier to find and fix mistakes.
Flutter is Google's open-source cross-platform SDK that allows mobile apps to be
built for both the Android and Apple iOS platforms. It also provides a wide range of
plugins built by Google.
NativeScript
NativeScript is a popular open-source framework that lets developers build mobile
apps using JavaScript. It also works with other languages that can be translated into
JavaScript, like TypeScript.

8. Some features of NativeScript include reflection APIs, integration with Angular and
Vue.js, and the ability to use libraries from Maven, npm.js, and CocoaPods without
wrappers. This allows developers to more easily create apps using these frameworks.
Mobile Angular UI
Mobile Angular UI is an open-source mobile framework that lets you use Angularjs
and Bootstrap 3 together. Mobile Angular UI includes new components, such as
navbars, sidebars, modals, and overlays. It also includes switches.
Since it uses Angular and Bootstrap, it is easy for developers to learn the framework
and get started. Mobile Angular UI allows agencies to offer Angular Development
Services such as building HTML5 hybrid mobile and desktop apps.
