Native App Development:
Native apps are basically built to be used on a single platform or device. These Mobile Applications are written in the programming language specific to a particular platform. For example; for iOS-based systems, Swift or Objective-C is used, for Android applications, Java or Kotlin is used and for windows applications, the C Sharp programming language is used. Native apps do not require an internet connection. Additionally, these apps are much faster and efficient in their functionalities. The native apps offer intuitive and smoother operability in terms of user input and output.
Hybrid App Development:
Hybrid apps are a combination of web and native apps. These apps offer a web view through a Web Application running in the native application. A hybrid app basically comprises of two sections including back end code and a native shell. The native shell is downloadable and aids in loading the code via a web view. The communication between the native device platform and web view in hybrid apps is established by using the native app wrapper. Unlike, to native mobile apps the hybrid apps can be used on multiple platforms. Moreover, these apps are comparatively less expensive than the native apps and they are also capable of leveraging the APIs of devices.
