Native Applications Development

Native applications are developed in a specific programming language and for a specific platform (iOS or Android). Programming languages for iOS are Swift and Objective-C and for Android applications in Java.

Native applications are usually developed in the JavaScript programming language. They are deployed to their respective play stores or App stores.

Pros of Native Applications Development:

• Native apps development easily matches UI/UX principles which is a very important thing for any application to deploy.

• Gestures are developed efficiently in native apps compared to web applications.

• These are the fastest applications and more efficient compared to web applications.

Cons of Native Applications Development:

• The main disadvantage of Native application development is it need to develop separately for both platforms which is a huge drawback.

• These will take more time to build compared to Web applications.

• These applications are expensive compared to Web applications.

Web Applications Development

Web applications run on the web browser with the use of the internet. There is no requirement for downloading these applications. Web applications are majorly developed in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. So with minimum knowledge of these languages, one can develop a Web Application.

Pros of Web Applications Development:

• There is no extra work for writing the code for different platforms. You can design for any platform with one code.

• These are compatible with any mobile phones and also the versions.

• No need of deploying to the app stores which is a huge advantage.

Cons of Web Applications Development:

• These are hard to find as these are not readily available.

• There is no quality for Web applications compared to Native applications.

• Web applications have little scope only for specific purposes.
