Cross-Platform Mobile Development: Benefits, Risks, and Tools for Your Next Mobile Project

Written by Jakub Grajcar | Jul 18, 2019 11:07:00 AM

Mobile devices have revolutionized the way we interact with the world around us. With the multitude of apps available, each designed with a specific purpose in mind, it’s no wonder that expectations are high when it comes to their performance.

We want apps to run well, we want them to use the device’s hardware to their advantage, and we want them to be made efficiently. But is there a way to combine that with making them available on multiple platforms?

That may have been the case in the past, but we’ve reached a time when not only is this sort of arrangement no longer a pipe dream, but it’s becoming the norm.

Let’s take a look at the practice of creating apps that are compatible with multiple platforms, also known as cross-platform mobile development.

We’ll show you:

  • how you can use it to achieve native-level performance on any device,
  • what tools and frameworks are available,
  • how cross-platform development can help you optimize your mobile app timeline and budget.
