Mobile App Development Updated 8

Mobile app development involves creating applications for mobile devices, categorized into Native and Cross-Platform development. Native apps are platform-specific, offering high performance and better UI/UX, while Cross-Platform apps allow code to run on multiple platforms, saving time and cost. Best practices for mobile UI/UX include simplicity, responsiveness, and adherence to platform-specific design guidelines, with deployment processes differing for Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

Mobile App Development

Native and Cross-Platform


Development
8.1 What is Mobile App Development?
• - Mobile app development involves creating
software applications for mobile devices.
• - It can be categorized into Native and Cross-
Platform development.
• - Native apps are built for specific platforms,
while cross-platform apps work on multiple
platforms.
8.1 Native App Development
• - Native apps are developed specifically for
one platform (Android or iOS).
• - Offer high performance, better UI/UX, and
access to device features.
• - Languages used: Java/Kotlin for Android,
Swift for iOS.
8.1.1 Android Development (Java/Kotlin)

• - Android apps are developed using Java or


Kotlin.
• - Android Studio is the official IDE for Android
development.
• - Uses XML for UI design and integrates APIs
for functionality.
8.1.2 iOS Development (Swift)
• - iOS apps are built using Swift programming
language.
• - Xcode is the official IDE for iOS development.
• - Uses SwiftUI or Storyboards for UI design.
8.2 Cross-Platform Development
• - Cross-platform frameworks allow developers
to write code once and run it on multiple
platforms.
• - Saves development time and cost compared
to native development.
• - Popular frameworks: React Native, Flutter.
8.2.1 React Native
• - Developed by Facebook, allows JavaScript-
based development.
• - Uses native components for better
performance.
• - Works well for apps needing a simple UI and
faster deployment.
8.2.2 Flutter
• - Developed by Google, uses Dart
programming language.
• - Provides a rich set of widgets for
customizable UI.
• - Offers high performance and fast
development with hot-reload feature.
8.3 Native vs. Cross-Platform Development

• - Native apps offer better performance and


integration but require separate development
for Android and iOS.
• - Cross-platform apps save time and cost but
may have limitations in performance and
device feature access.
8.3 Mobile UI/UX Best Practices
• - Keep the interface simple and user-friendly.
• - Ensure responsiveness for different screen
sizes.
• - Use intuitive navigation and touch-friendly
elements.
• - Optimize performance to reduce load times.
• - Follow platform-specific design guidelines
(Material Design for Android, Human Interface
Guidelines for iOS).
8.4 App Deployment (Google Play Store,
Apple App Store)
• - Preparing an app for release includes testing, debugging,
and optimizing performance.
• - Google Play Store:
• - Requires a developer account ($25 one-time fee).
• - Apps must meet Google's policies and guidelines.
• - APK or AAB file submission with store listing details.
• - Apple App Store:
• - Requires an Apple Developer Program account ($99/year).
• - Apps must pass Apple's review process.
• - Submission via Xcode and TestFlight for testing.
