Moving Forward With A Virginia App Developer

Statistics show that over 140 billion apps and games were downloaded in 2020 alone. This number grows exponentially in the industry of iPhone app development as Apple (and its rigidity) continues to compete with the market flexibility of the average Android app.
Now imagine being in the game and leveraging this fast-growing market.

Take A Step Forward and Think About What Will Work For Your Company
ClearSummit works with both Hybrid and Native App Development. Let us help you figure out what works best for your company.
Hybrid vs Native
-
Building custom software that feels fluid on the user’s phone is highly important for all clients.
Prior to React-Native, there were several hybrid development frameworks. These hybrid frameworks had their challenges -- whether in programming languages that were not common and thus had a small pool of developers to build and maintain mobile applications, or they were not powerful enough to allow subtle control of the interface.
-
React-Native changed this. React-Native (and other frameworks now such as Flutter) allowed mobile app developers to write common code in JavaScript and then drop it down to native platform languages when necessary.
-
This allowed for mobile app development to progress at a much faster pace. Previously, developers would need to build an iOS app and then separately an Android app.
Not only does this take at least double the time to build due to issues in one platform that do not exist in another, but you were most likely to have a fragmented team -- one doing mobile app development for iOS apps and another for Android mobile apps.
Technologies
We want to use the best tools for each job. Because of this we choose to work with technologies where we can get the most leverage for the time invested.
React JS & React Native
iOS
Android
Python
PHP
NodeJS
Django
.NET
Heroku
AWS
Azure
SQL & NoSQL
Serverless
Terraform
CI / CD
Choosing Reactive Native
-
Animation control is not as granular as building directly natively. Consider this if you want fluid animations in your designs as this affects user experience and engagement.
-
React-Native can be more temperamental than its native counterparts. Given the massive number of open-source libraries that React-Native is based on, and the libraries used to maintain velocity when building custom mobile apps, sometimes you can run into incompatibilities that take time to resolve.
-
This will then require you to have your apps regularly evaluated over time to make sure it's compatible with the ever-changing platforms it will run on. Consider allocating a budget for check-ups and revisions when considering React-Native.
