Introduction
Cross-platform app development frameworks
facilitate the creation of such software
applications that are compatible across a variety
of operating system ranging from Android to iOS.
With its reusable code component system, it helps
developers leverage the program developed for one
app again and again. To put it in other words,
it makes use of a single source code amidst
multiple platforms. This, in turn, plays a
significant role in speeding up the whole app
development process along with significant cost
reduction. Here's a detailed look at some of the
significant cross-platform app development
frameworks.

Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks
React Native
React Native is another cross-app development
framework that has accelerated the development
process of apps. It has over 1.6k contributors
who have committed code to this frameworks
codebase. It uses JavaScript and Reacts to build
Native Android and iOS Mobile apps. It can
leverage complex UI and component-based UI. This,
in turn, helps developers utilize the same UI
component to React Native iOS and Android apps.
This is the reason its popularity has doubled up
in the past few years.

Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks
Advantages of React Native
Facilitates Code Reuse and cost Saving
React Native facilitates the reuse of 90 of code
between Android and iOS. It means that the same
code can be deployed on both platforms. This
wouldn't only reduce the development time but,
also enhance the cost-saving considerably.
Comes up With Live Reloading
Live Reload allows the developer to immediately
see the result of any changes made in the code.
While one window will show the code, the other
window will display the effect of changes made in
the app.

Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks
Advantages of React Native
Robust Performance
React Native is super-fast and robust in
performance. The use of GPU (Graphics Processing
Unit) makes the React Native architecture
well-tuned and compatible with all the devices.
Techtic, with its excellent team of developers,
has a thorough knowledge of React Native's
modular and intuitive interface. This makes them
a pro at creating apps that are easy to develop
and maintain.

Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks
Ionic
Ionic is a cross-platform framework that
facilitates the development of interactive mobile
apps that can get deployed across different
platforms ranging from Android, iOS, windows, and
web. It is a free and open source framework
created on top of Angular JS and PhoneGap. It was
one of the leading cross platform framework in
2016. Ionic provides a variety of tools for the
development of hybrid mobile apps with the help
of technologies such as CSS, HTML5, and SASS.
Further, it even has a plethora of features
ranging from Bluetooth, HealthKit, Finger Print
Auth, PhoneGap plugins and TypeScript extensions.
These features make the overall development of
advanced apps easy. Here's a look at its various
advantages.

Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks
Advantages of Ionic
Learning is Easy
Ionic is an easy to learn development framework.
All a developer needs to have is the general
familiarity with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Reduced Development Time
Since Ionic apps run on different platforms such
as Android, iOS, windows, etc., it saves a
developer from writing different codes for each
platform. A code written for one app can be
deployed across all the iOS, Android, and Windows
devices. This, in turn, reduces the overall
development time a lot.

Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks
Advantages of Ionic
Higher Feasibility
Ionic helps in the development of cross-platform
apps with optimum utilization of resources such
as time, assets and efforts. This facilitates a
unified look and feel of the app while enhancing
its feasibility. Techtic has all the expertise
to build applications based on Ionic rapidly. The
developers here know how to deploy standard tools
with a single code base.

Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks
Flutter
Flutter is a modern development kit by Google,
that will facilitate the development of mobile
apps for Android, iOS, and Google Fuchsia, a new
platform being developed by Google. Since its
inception, Flutter has got immensely popular
among the developersas evident from the graph
shown below

Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks
Advantages of Flutter
Hot Reload
Hot reload refers to the fact that developers can
preview all the changes made to the code in the
app itself. It hardly takes few seconds to
visualize the changes, thereby enabling the
developers to directly experiment, resolve any
technical glitches or buds, and add new features.
Consequently, you will be able to ensure more
effective collaboration between the developers
and designers.
Ideal for Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
In case you want your investors to see the
product on a short notice, Flutter mobile
application can help you out. The app will look
native on both Android and iOS. This will give
your investors a complete picture of the MVP.
While developing two separate apps would be
time-consuming, Flutter makes things easy for the
developer.

Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks
Advantages of Flutter
Less Code
Flutter uses Dart as the programming language. It
is similar to React Native as the programming
style is reactive and declarative. It enhances
the app startup times and overall performance as
no JavaScript bridge is needed. This is easily
achieved with the help of 'Ahead-of-Time' or AOT
compilation used by Dart. It also takes help of
Just-in-Time or JIT compilation which ultimately
refines the development workflow as it enables
hot reload capability to refresh the user
interface during development, thereby eliminating
the need of building a new version.

Xamarin
Xamarin is a robust cross-platform app solution
that is being used by 1.4 million developers
spanning 120 countries. Take a look at the
increasing number of developers using it.
Xamarin works across multiple operating
systems. It doesn't only provide developers with
excellent tools that facilitate the building of
cross-platform apps but, also consists of all the
native features along with the ability to share a
common code base. All in all, Xamarin is an
excellent platform for building an app that's
high on functionality and support. From letting
the developer include added functionalities
through simple plugins to integrating the
application with popular backends, Xamarin does
it all like a pro. Here's a sneak peek in its
various advantages.

Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks
Advantages of Xamarin
The Enhanced App Development Cycle
Since Xamarin contains reusable code, 90 of it
can get recycled for app development across
various platforms. This doesn't only accelerate
the pace of development but also reduces the
period of the product development lifecycle.
Facilitates Rapid Mobile App Development for
Business
Xamarin serves as a business-friendly platform
because of its agility and the reasonable cost
approach. With its user interface making use of
form libraries, the whole development process
becomes smooth, rapid and straightforward.

Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks
Phonegap
PhoneGap is the next big thing for cross platform
mobile development. Its recommended for those
app projects which have to be developed in a cost
effective manner. The single code base can be
used for creating multiple versions of an
app. Its an open-source framework for mobile
app development. In spite of being based on web
standard technologies like HTML, CSS and
JavaScript, apps created with PhoneGap do support
native device features like accelerometer,
compass, GPS, camera, storage, contact, network
and lot more through APIs.

Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks
Advantages of Phonegap

• Single code base can be used to create apps for
  iOS, Android, Windows Phone and mobile web.
• Even if you have developed the app using
  PhoneGap, the app can be distributed on App store
  and Google Play.
• There is no need of additional development skills
• If the app is going to be the extension of your
  existing enterprise app, hybrid will prove to be
  best choice.
• With Phonegap, it is easy to do rapid testing ad
  deployment of an app
• You can create hybrid apps to save the
  development time and efforts.
• If there is little time to go to market,
  Phonegap is the technology to be used.
