Top Mobile App Development Company In Greece

The development of mobile applications enables any person, company or organization to dramatically increase their visibility to their target audience around the world. Hyperlink InfoSystem is a top mobile application development agency in Greece that has worked with hundreds of clients in different sectors.

Often, a project to develop a mobile application involves significant challenges: an investment of several thousand dollars or even tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, loyalty objectives, growth, human resources mobilized, time, etc.

Given these challenges, the choice of the agency that will develop your new application is decisive. A bad choice can lead to catastrophic consequences: several lost months, financial damage, loss of earnings, legal litigation, etc. 

We are going to see together what are the criteria to take into account in choosing the agency that will develop your future mobile application.

Android Development Vs. iOS Development

One of the most fundamental questions at the beginning of app development is the question of which platform the app should be developed for. The question doesn’t have a general answer.

Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages. I f the budget is sufficient, the development for iOS & Android represents the ideal case. You achieve the greatest possible reach on the app market. 

The Main Differences Between Android & iOS

The biggest difference between native Android & iOS apps is the programming language used. iOS apps are created in the Xcode IDE. This development environment is specially designed for the Swift and Objective-C programming languages, but also supports C and C ++. Other programming languages such as Java or Ruby can also be integrated, but this involves some effort.

In Contrast To This Is The Android Development

Android offers the developer a little more freedom. The Android Software Development Kit is required to develop an Android app. This is supplied with the “Android Studio” development environment, but can also be downloaded separately. The most used programming language for Android apps is Java. But C ++ or Ruby are also often used.

Android is found on a wide variety of devices and there are different and modified versions of Android in circulation than of iOS. Creating an Android app involves more effort than developing an iOS app, this is due to the variety of devices and versions.

Development Cost

The costs for iOS development and Android development also differ. The cost is generally higher in Android development. The reason for this is the variety of devices and versions. While iOS is the more stable system, there are countless modified Android versions, which ideally you want to cover all of them. The update requirement on the part of Apple also ensures that the majority of iOS devices run on the latest iOS versions. 

The System To Use

Although the larger number of Android users is addressed by an Android app, it is clear that significantly higher sales are achieved through in-app purchases with an iOS, as the willingness of iOS users to make purchases is much higher than that of Android users.

Functionalities And Characteristics of Native Applications At Hyperlink InfoSystem

Access To The Platform

Native applications take advantage of functionality at a level that hybrid applications cannot. Native apps also have the advantage that they allow the use of the advanced functions of each platform and also take advantage of the graphics processors.

Native applications do not usually use plugins, this is beneficial for their development since their creation times are shortened. Usability and flexibility will always be superior in native applications over hybrid applications.

Performance

Native applications provide smooth scrolling, advanced animations, and lists with complex transitions, and they tend to consume less memory than hybrid applications.

Another aspect to bear in mind is that system services are not supported in hybrid applications and background tasks are limited to the network.

Other Advantages of Native Apps

• Native applications allow the development for other devices such as television or wearables.
• The security level is higher than that of hybrid applications, since the use of JavaScript and plugins in hybrid applications are more likely to be attacked.
• The battery life is longer, the code has a higher degree of optimization, the use of the different CPU / GPU cores is better, and fewer layers of software are required for execution.
• Native applications allow the use of native accessibility functions.
• The development environment of native apps allows the design of the UI through drop and drag tools.
• The analytics libraries have SDKs that are optimized for iOS and Android.
• When it comes to developing hybrid apps, we have IDEs such as WebStorm (paid) or Visual Studio (depending on versions), as well as “Integrated development environment” tools.
• Screen navigations and crash executions can be sent to the cloud in the background, thus hiding complexities from the programmer.
