There are various reasons behind building an app.
Prior to getting started with mobile app
development, you need to have an understanding
about the choices of technology that are available.
This will keep you well informed while you discuss
the choices with your app developer. First and
foremost you need to decide which app will work
well for you- hybrid, native or web.
3. Native mobile apps
The first thing that comes to mind when one
thinks of apps is native mobile app. The app is
created to be ‘native’ or local to a particular
platform such as iOS app for apple, Android for
Google, etc.

While building iOS for Apple, a developer has to
make use of Objective C language. The language
is considered as one of the hardest ones to
master. For this reason, Apple equips its
community of developers with good tools to
develop the app. The main tool that is made used
by the developers is ‘Xcode’.
5. Android
Android is built with the computer language Java.
As compared to Objective C, Java is more
common and is comparatively easier to learn.
Thus, finding developers equipped with this
technology is not a tough task. The tools available
to create Android apps such as ‘Eclipse’ are not
as good as ‘Xcode’ but a tool called ‘Android
Studio’ is expected to deliver equivalent quality
support as that of the tool for Apple.
6. Hybrid mobile apps
Just like a native app, a hybrid app can also be
installed on a device but it operates with the help
of web browser. The language HTML5 is used to
build these apps. As compared to native apps,
hybrid apps are not much smooth, fast or reliable.
Since building apps with HTML5 eliminates the
need to create native apps for different platforms,
the language is seen to have a great potential.
