Lets start by saying there are close to 70,000 programming languages available, which can make it
difficult to chose which is best for your project. Today we will talk solely about app development,
more specifically native app development.
When we refer to the term “APP” we are talking about software for mobile devices. When we refer
to the term “native app” we are talking about software developed formobile devices in the language
dedicated to the platform of the targeted device. In other words, if we are developing an app for an
Apple device (IOS) we would develop it in a language designed for IOS devices.
The native language for IOS development is Swift;
“Swift is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm, compiled programming language developed by Apple
Inc. for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and Linux. Swift is designed to work with Apple's Cocoa
and Cocoa Touch frameworks and the large body of existing Objective-C code written for Apple
products” source - Wikipedia
Developer: Apple Inc.
Designed by: Chris Lattner, Doug Gregor, John McCall, Ted Kremenek, Joe Groff, and Apple
Inc.
As the paragraph above suggests, it is the chosen language for IOS developers because ithas been
specifically designed for use with Apples Cocoa and Cocoa-touch frameworks. Developing an APP in
this language makes it easier to get your APP onto the APP Store.
The native language for Android development is Java;
“Java is a general-purpose programming language that is class-based, object-oriented, and designed
to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application
developers write once, run anywhere (WORA),[17]
meaning that compiled Java code can run on all
platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation..” Wikipedia
Developer: Sun Microsystems
Typing discipline: Static, strong, safe, nominative, manifest
Java (not to be mistaken for JavaScript which is a completely separate entity and designed for web
based applications) has been around forever! Most banks and institutions are java based because it
is has been the most popular programming language since its introduction in 1965, however, the
reason it is the main language used for Android APP development is because it is the base language
of Google’s Android API. This, like swift for Android, helps get your APP onto the Play Store quicker.
It is however much easier to get an APP onto the Google Play Store than it is to get an APP onto the
APP Store.
So, if you are looking to have a native app build for both IOS and Android devices it would previously
have needed to be built twice in the two native languages. These days however there are tools
available to help programmers using different languages convert their creation into an Android or
IOS compliant APPs.
Need an APP developer? The Innovation Agency has an amazing team of programmers fluent in
multiple languages at our disposal. After we first meet, we sit down and discuss your project with
the development team and decide which solution is best for your project. This will be where we
decide if your project needs to be native apps, hybrid apps or web apps.
