Multi-platform mobile application development provides the user experience and functionality of native apps with the multi-platform compatibility of mobile web apps. This approach provides the best of both worlds and has been gaining a lot of acceptance due to the trade-offs with native development and mobile web approaches. In today's dynamic marketplace where the future is unclear, cross-platform apps provide a middle ground to achieve success for your mobile strategy.

In recent Mobile and Wireless news posted on Gartner Research, by 2016 more than 50 percent of Mobile Apps deployed will have used cross-platform development tools. The research states that enterprises are under extreme pressure from management and employees to develop and deploy mobile applications in order to accommodate the BYOD movement as well as increase customer engagement.

Ken Dulaney, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner said that - "Mobility has always been a separate topic for IT professionals, but it is now influencing mainstream strategies and tactics in the wider areas of technology enablement and enterprise architectures."

Cross Platform App Development Services

Why opt for Cross-Platform Mobile App Development Services?

Enterprises today have to think across multiple devices and platforms for any mobile app they want to create. By opting for cross-platform apps, they will be able to not only achieve greater market penetration, but also get other benefits such as lower time to market on all supported platforms. By opting for hybrid app development architecture, enterprises can be assured better code maintainability because of a single code base. These apps are generally written in 'web languages' - HTML, Javascript and CSS - though now platforms using other popular languages like C# for .NET have also come along. These are then either compiled into native code and then deployed (aka Appcelerator) or they have native wrappers around them for deployment on iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices.

Enterprise apps nowadays need to have their smartphone apps leverage location information, notification systems, mapping capabilities and even on-device hardware such as the camera. The latest multi-platform mobile development tools now support hardware of various mobile brands to cater to these needs. However companies should also weigh out the pros and cons of each platform before deciding the right platform for them.

Cross-Platform Mobile Development Tools

There are numerous tools and frameworks available in the industry today to build best of breed cross-platform apps. Some of the popular ones are listed below:

Xamarin - It is one of the most widely used app development platforms by enterprises. It helps build native cross platform applications with 75% code sharing across iOS, Android & Windows platforms. Xamarin Developers use C# to build apps. Xamarin enables developers run automated tests for mobile apps and monitor app performance.

PhoneGap / Apache Cordova - It is basically a web application which is packaged in a native application container where each operation is executed by JavaScript through device-level APIs. PhoneGap developers have freedom to use the platform using HTML, JavaScript and CSS.

Appcelerator's Titanium - It provides a unified JavaScript API which can be integrated with the native platform and allows access to all the features of the platform. Titanium developers write JavaScript codes and utilize the Alloy MVC framework for reusing the native UI components, improving performance for the cross platform app development.

Other tools include Sencha, Adobe Air all of which have their own advantages and disadvantages.

It is important to partner with the right cross-platform mobile app development company to ensure they develop your apps inline with the industry's best practices. Not only should they have experience in developing multi-platform apps, but should also have experience in developing enterprise-grade mobile applications to ensure you get the best ROI for your investment.

The cross-platform app market is expected to hit $7.5 million by 2018, and the amount of cross platform development tools is on the rise. So which are the best platforms, resources and tools to code for iOS, Android, Windows and more at the same time?

There are advantages to native applications, but a well-made cross-platform mobile app will make the differences seem small and carry the advantage that users on more than one platform have access to your product or service.

This guide is for those in the cross platform mobile development field looking for the best cross platform tools and resources; not just the IDEs and Editors but also top language and tutorials. It's divided in the following sections:

If you prefer to focus on one platform in your app development, you can have a look at our guides on the test Android development tools and the list of iOS app development tools.

First up, we have the big hitters in the IDE department.

Major Cross-Platform Development Tools

The best cross platform mobile development tools, both because of the number of options they offer and their ease of use.

Xamarin has been going from strength-to-strength recently, attracting a record-setting $54m investment and methodically building out its platform and expanding its reach. Over the last year or so since the release of Xamarin 2, the company has certainly emerged as one of the leading solutions for cross-platform development. Xamarin is also very keen to emphasise its business credentials with the recent announcements of enterprise partnerships with IBM, Xoriant and - last year - with Microsoft. Business subscriptions start at $83 per month. A free trial is available

Xojo - As well as covering the desktop, mobile and iOS, it is one of the few tools that lets you code for Raspberry Pi. The company also offers cloud hosting, but the platform does not produce Android apps.

Coding environments are all well and good, but you should probably know about the underlying languages too.

Languages

Java - The mobile cross-platform language 'par excellence', you really can't go wrong by using this for apps compatible almost anywhere.

C++ - A lower language than Java, and an extremely useful one at that - it is basically ubiquitous. Not the first recommendation because it often puts extra strain on a mobile's resources.

C# - The Microsoft world equivalent of Objective-C for Mac, but it is quickly becoming a favourite for cross-platform web apps.

HTML5 - The HTML5 standard will make your apps compatible on desktop as well - indeed, that's what it was designed for. Still being improved, but very strong when coupled with JavaScript (below).

JavaScript -The scripting language for HTML5, isn't particularly useful on its own but when running alongside HTML5 results in highly effective apps.

Ruby - One of the newer languages here, it was designed specifically for mobile and to be as simple (and resource-light) as possible.

Once you've chosen a language, stick with it by following these tutorials.

Language Tutorials

There are plenty of tutorials for all the major languages, but here is a selection of some of the best one.
Java
The Java Tutorials - The official tutorials by Oracle on the Java language.

Cross Platform Mobile App Development Guide 2017 - Business of Apps

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The cross-platform app market is expected to hit $7.5 million by 2018, and the amount of cross platform development tools is on the rise. So which are the best platforms, resources and tools to code for iOS, Android, Windows and more at the same time?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Considering coding your idea to success? Well, everyone wants it, but few only truly succeed. While there could be a sea of factors that hold the key to success of an app strategy, a significant one that rarely gets the attention of entrepreneurs today is the type of app development tool to use. The diversity and quality of its plugin libraries and APIs, and other compatibility and integration aspects, play a big role in that.

With platform and device diversity ruling the mobile landscape, cross-platform app development has emerged as a commercially viable option. Contrary to native app development, a single code composition created with a cross-platform development tool can be used to target multiple platforms or devices. Hence, it helps you not just containing the cost of technology investment, but also the hassles involved with updating and managing the portfolio of apps in your business.

1. PhoneGap (Apache Cordova)

Engineered by the team behind Apache Cordova, this open source tool is comprised of a compiler, debugger, and testing tools woven with popular web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript). The myths that PhoneGap is suitable for building only simple apps, and that PhoneGap apps make little use of device's capabilities, have been debunked in the recent past with the inclusion of a wide range of plugins like Image Capture plugin, Media Recorder Plugin, Push plugin, and much more. For instance, the CP Jobsite app, a PhoneGap-based app, enables supervisors of painting services provider to stay connected with their dispersed workforces. Users at the other end can capture the progress of the work via the device's camera, and send it over to their supervisors. Instant messaging allows them to share updates frequently.

Pros

Cons

Performance issues might occur with graphic-intensive apps. By implementing third-party solutions to enhance caching and graphic acceleration, developers can overcome this challenge. However, with OEMs coming up with better technical specifications, you should worry a little on this front.

2. Appcelerator

Cross-platform developers can use this tool to build, test, connect, and eventually measure the functionality of the built app. It favors JavaScript programming. The universal code concept applies here. Developers can implement one code base across multiple platforms from Android and iOS to Windows Phone and BlackBerry to speed up product development and delivery.

Pros

Cons

Appcelerator is known to be a bit buggy and laggy, though the newer version is more stable. There are also user complaints about poor support from its developer community

3. Xamarin

In Xamarin, a C# codebase can be universally applied to multiple platforms. However, unlike other frameworks, it lets developers work with native IDEs, languages, and APIs. Moreover, Git integration is built directly into the Xamarin Studio.

Pros

Xamarin comes up with some sample apps to help you get started in a quick and easy manner.

Almost three-fourths of the code can be shared across major mobile platforms. Hence, using Xamarin, you can curtail not just the development cost but also the TTM (time-to-market).

Xamarin supports functionality testing and quality monitoring across a wide range of devices. It does have its Android emulator.

Cons

Prevailing compatibility issues with open-source libraries for Android and iOS are a bit of a deterrent towards building a full-fledged app. This is something that its community must address to encourage the development of a substantial project with Xamarin.

4. Sencha Ext JS

If you have been looking to create data-intensive cross-platform apps or apps that can leverage hardware acceleration techniques, this is the ideal framework to go for. It houses a robust data package (to support interaction with an array of back-end data sources) and 115+ high-performance, pre-tested, and integrated UI components, including calendar, grids, charts, and more. The framework unleashes the potential of HTML5 on modern browsers.

Introducing Sencha Pivot Grid and D3 adapter, Sencha Ext JS enables developers to build apps with great business intelligence (BI) for data visualization and analytics. Ext JS Grid and Advanced Charting package analyze and interpret millions of records with ease.

Pros

Cons

Few choices regarding choosing the themes for the target platforms.

Licensing complexity with the commercial version.

5. MonoCross

MonoCross supports the development of cross-platform apps with C#, Microsoft .NET and the Mono framework. Developers can retain the coding of application, controller, and model across different platforms while playing with the platform container and the view, that is, user-interface, to deliver a native experience across all key platforms. Also, it makes app porting easier than ever. Thus, businesses can cope with the rapid changes in platforms.

Pros

Supporting a diverse range of APIs, MonoCross makes it easier to utilize the complete capability of the device.

Support for third-party APIs also reduces the development time as developers don't have to struggle with the low-level intricacies of every platform.

Using MonoCross to develop apps requires only C# and .NET compatibility.

Cons

Cross-platform developers, particularly beginners, struggle with its usability and features as little documentation and support resources are available online.

6. Adobe Build

This cloud-based tool works along with Cordova or PhoneGapand does the code compilation, thereby helping developers to pursue their goals and expedite delivery as well as the quality of deliverables. Instead of getting acquainted with multiple native software development kits like Android SDK, iOS SDK, Windows Phone SDK, or something similar, developers can work on any cross-platform app development project - all that is required is the knowledge of web technologies or languages like CSS3, HTML5, and Java.

Pros

Cons

Data processing speed with JavaScript is not as efficient as it is with a native language, like Swift.

Slow background processing as APIs with JavaScript is not multi-threaded.

Poor access to native functionality. Many of the native APIs lack support for PhoneGap's APIs.

7. Kony AppPlatform

A low-code app development framework, Kony AppPlatform is the favorite choice of enterprises who want to cope with their growing demand for mobile applications. Developers with skills in JavaScript can make use of this platform to create native as well as cross-platform apps. Its greatest benefit is that developers can drag-and-drop features they need from the Kony Marketplace or their API libraries. Developers can review the app and cross-check its API connectivity. Thus, the framework accelerates the development process.

Pros

Kony is loaded with sample or pre-built apps to educate developers.

It supports a wide range of backend systems.

It has a strong visualizer to validate its powerful multi-channel JavaScript APIs.

Cons

The documentation and support available for Kony on the web are not sufficient, as with Monocross, when compared to that of various other platforms, which has restricted its adoption by beginners.

8. Convertigo

Convertigo pitches itself as a mobile backend as a service (MBaaS) platform and offers products like Convertigo Studio, Convertigo Server, Convertigo Cloud and Convertigo Mobilizer that ease app development for enterprises.

Pros

Cons

Convertigo has three different plans, of which the free plan just has community support and doesn't include its Fullsync offline data support.

9. NativeScript

This open-source platform favors building cross-platform apps with a native UI for Android and iOS using Angular, TypeScript, or JavaScript. Developers can access native APIs via JavaScript and reuse of packages from NPM, CocoaPods, and Gradle, thus creating a feature-rich app or enhancing the existing features becomes easier.

Pros

Cons

Multi-threading is a possible issue in NativeScript, which may be improved in later releases. There is a lack of in-depth examples and documentation on each of its features.

10. RhoMobile Suite

Powered by Rhodes open source framework, RhoMobile Suite is a set of development tools required to build data-centric, cross-platform enterprise apps with a native user experience. Its anatomy is quite similar to PhoneGap. Its existing web technologies like CSS3, HTML5, JavaScript are joined by Ruby. Apps based on RhoMobile Suite can be made compatible with mobile as well as non-mobile operating systems like iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Windows Mobile, Windows CE, Windows 10 Mobile, and Windows Desktop.

Pros

Its automatic data encryption helps enterprises worried about BYOD to secure their enterprise data.

Its Object Relational Mapper enables automatic synchronization of backend data.

It supports offline data accessibility and synchronization into apps.

Cons

It restricts Radio-frequency identification (RFID) plug-ins to Windows Mobile/CE. Had it been made open source, it could have reached farther regarding popularity.

Conclusion

The numbering doesn't reflect the superiority or inferiority of a particular framework. Every tool has its strengths and limitations and selection of a framework should be done as per the requirements of a project. A cross-platform app development company entrusted with any project must strike a balance between what is available and what is required, and go in the right direction.

Create an app with one of these cross-platform tools

Cross-platform app development tools are programs that let you build apps for more than one platform, like apps for Android and iOS, using the same code base.

The reason cross-platform mobile development tools are so handy is because there are so many different types of devices out there. If you want to release your app on as many app stores as possible so that lots of phones and tablets can use it, you'll need the app to support multiple platforms.

In other words, you will miss out on potential users if your app doesn't run on their devices. A cross-platform app builder can save you from needing to program the same app in different languages and in different mobile app making programs.

PhoneGap is a freeware, open-source program for creating apps for Android, Windows, and iOS mobile devices. It uses standard web development languages like CSS, HTML, and JavaScript.

With this cross-platform app developer, you can work with device hardware features such as an accelerometer, GPS/location, camera, sound, and much more.

PhoneGap additionally offers an Adobe AIR app and online training courses to help you access native API's and build mobile apps on its own platform.

You can build apps with PhoneGap on Windows and macOS, and there's an Android, iOS, and Windows Phone app that will run your custom app on your device to see how it looks before going live. More "

Appcelerator is a cross-platform app development program compatible with Windows, Android, and iOS that's advertised as " everything you need to create great, native mobile apps - all from a single JavaScript code base."

The app designer includes drag-and-drop for easy placement of objects, and the included Hyperloop feature lets you use JavaScript to get direct access to native APIs in iOS and Android.

Another neat feature with this cross-platform app development kit is the real-time analytics and the Performance & Crash Analytics, which gives you the ability to find and fix issues with your app.

The Titanium Development Platform from Appcelerator aids the development of native mobile, tablet, and desktop apps via web programming languages like HTML, PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, and Python.

It powers over 75,000 mobile apps and gives users easy access to over 5,000 APIs and location information.

The Appcelerator multi-platform app developer has a free option but there are also a couple other paid versions with more features. More "

The great thing about NativeScript is not only that it's a cross-platform development tool but that you can use it absolutely free since it's open source and doesn't have a "pro" plan or paid option.

You can build mobile apps for Android and iOS with NativeScript using JavaScript, Angular, or TypeScript. It also has Vue.JS integration and supports hundreds of plugins for extended functionality.

NativeScript, unlike some of these other cross-platform mobile app development tools, requires knowledge of the command-line, which means you also need to supply your own text editor.

NativeScript has tons of documentation if you need it. More "

Another free, open-source cross-platform mobile development framework you can download is Monocross.

This program lets you create apps using C#, .NET, and the Mono framework, for iOS devices like iPads, iPhones, and iPods, as well as Android devices and Windows Phone.

The developers behind Monocross wrote a book about cross-platform development that might come in handy while you're using the program, but there's also some online documentation on their website and built-in project templates that come with the installation.

You'll also need MonoDevelop in order to build apps. More "

With Kony, and a single IDE, you can build JavaScript apps to run on all platforms. However, Kony does come at a cost if you want more than one app, more than 100 users, and some other features.

This cross-platform app development tool supports all sorts of things, like chatbots, API management, voice, augmented reality, customer reporting, pre-built apps for reference, and more.

Kony can be installed on Windows and Mac computers, and the companion mobile app is used to preview and test your app on the actual device you expect it to run on. More "
