Hyperlink InfoSystem is a leading mobile app development agency in Gold Coast. At Hyperlink InfoSystem in Gold Coast, we know that in the development of mobile applications for any field, it is necessary to comply with a series of high standards that provide customers and users with a safe and satisfactory experience. For this, we always recommend the development of native mobile applications, with official Apple and Google tools and with specialized developers in each of these platforms.
But the world is not perfect and sometimes, for some reason, we use multiplatform development tools that allow us to create an application for both platforms. These types of mobile applications are called hybrids.
Here are some of the best-known technologies for developing hybrid mobile applications.
PhoneGap
This technology belongs to Adobe Systems and allows you to create hybrid mobile applications using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript web technology. These offer the ability to develop creative applications with very good results. It uses a programming interface that allows access to different hardware elements such as the camera, or storage.
One of the main features that differentiate this technology from others is that it has access to the Adobe Creative Cloud compilation service in the cloud. On the other hand, PhoneGap is in charge of integrating into the mobile operating system and providing access to services.
Importantly, it is a technology for creating simple applications, on controlled devices and with affordable performance.
Titanium
This tool allows you to develop mobile apps similar to native applications in different operating systems. It uses JavaScript but the tool itself takes care of automatically translating the programming to the other systems.
This technology has cloud services and facilitates the development of applications interconnected with the software and hardware, thus allowing the use of the microphone, the camera or even the GPS.
Angular
Angular is currently is one of the most used frameworks due to the support of Google making it a very powerful, safe and reliable technology that has the support of a large community.
It is a tool that facilitates the creation of modern applications such as Single Page applications. In this way, it guarantees a much faster interaction since all web development is loaded in the client's own browser.
Angular provides flexibility, versatility and above all a speed in development since it allows creating reusable and easy-to-use modules. Finally, it is also important to note that thanks to the framework used by this tool, it is possible to develop fast applications compared to others made with other tools.
Ionic
Ionic is an open-source JavaScript framework that allows, like PhoneGap, to create hybrid applications. That is, it is possible to create applications for mobile devices for iOS, Android and web applications using the same code and guaranteeing that they always work in the latest versions of operating systems.
The main advantage that this tool offers is that it allows the application of multiple devices from a single development and therefore from a single source code. This reduces the delivery time of applications on multiple platforms, thus improving productivity, application profitability and the user experience.
Ionic, was created using the previously discussed Angular technology as a base. Even so, currently, this technology provides support for the development of mobile applications relying on the main frameworks. Finally, it is also important to note that Iconic facilitates software maintenance by simplifying and reducing costs.
Framework 7
This tool allows you to create hybrid applications using the HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript programming language with a lower learning curve. Still, it also allows you to develop mobile applications with VUE.JS or React.
Despite the fact that Framework 7 is not one of the best-known technologies, it has the advantage that it is an independent tool and therefore, there are no external dependencies on frameworks.
Finally, it is important to comment that its design section is similar to the Ionic technology since it provides a design adjusted to those established by the iOS and Android design depending on which platform it is run for, allowing a good user interface.
