Why Prefer Cross Platform Mobile App Development For All Purposes?

We all know that today's time is a smart phone time and all smart phones run on different Operating Systems. As with the advancement of technology all the mobile operating systems are upgrading their systems regularly the mobiles are becoming smarter so the demand of smart phones is also increasing day by day.

Here the question is why the Smart Phones demand increasing so rapidly? The answer is the mobile applications which these phones have, helps every Smartphone user in many ways. When the Smart Phone first launched in market there were a few mobile apps but now there is a huge competition between the apps. Different operating systems provide there software kits to develop mobile application for their Smart Phones.

There are some very popular mobile platforms like Android, iOS and Windows. These all platforms need different technologies to develop the mobile apps for them with all same features. Developing mobile applications differently for all platforms costs very high so sometimes the entrepreneurs only choose sometimes to develop apps for either of the platform. So the developers put their creativity and provide a solution for this problem. They developed a new technology called "Cross Platform Technology". In this technology the developers only generate one code for the mobile app and the code works on all mobile platforms which reduces the costs of the development and the mobile applications can be used by all the Smartphone users.

When the cross platform technology first launched there were some problems because of the different buttons placement on different devices. But now there is a huge change in the technology and there are different frameworks developed which solved the issues which came previously.

The Cross platform mobile apps can be developed on various frameworks and languages which can be selected as per the requirements of the clients and according to the purpose of the mobile application. The different technologies used in cross platform mobile app development are:

1. PhoneGap           2. Titanium           3. Rho Mobile

4. Ionic                     5. Xamarin            6. SAP

7. MoSync               8. Jquery Mobile  9. Corona

There are many more technologies which are going to be developed for the development of perfect cross platform mobile applications.

Also it is very easy for the developers to develop the mobile apps on these frameworks. These frameworks use HTML5, CSS and JavaScript which are considered to be the backbone of the most apps. There are some other languages which are used in the cross platform application development.

The different plug-in can be used in the apps which can help in accessing of camera, different sensors, location services, microphone etc of the mobile devices in making the application more usefull and user friendly.

As the main benefits given by the cross platform mobile apps are ease of development, reduction in development costs, easy to manage and support for all mobile operating systems. Now the question is that how to develop these apps and which framework to use for the apps? Its direct answer is "search for the quality developers who can develop the app all according to the requirement" over the internet.
