For Business Success, Choose CROSS PLATFORM APP DEVELOPMENT

Introduction To

Cross Platform APP DEVELOPMENT

• 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

• 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

Benefits of

Cross Platform APP DEVELOPMENT

• 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

• 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

• 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

6 Best Cross Platform Mobile Development Tools

• 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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.
