Hybrid Mobile App Development

Hybrid Mobile App Development – Advantages and Nitty - gritty

Combining both best and worst of native apps and HTML5 apps, the hybrid mobile apps are created as a web app by using JavaScript and HTML5 so that the apps have access to features of the native platforms. While utilizing the features of both, the hybrid app developers emphasize on JavaScript Optimization, using CSS for creating magnificent layouts and also coding HTML codes to ensure that the apps make best use of native device capabilities like camera, file manager, contacts, WiFi, Accelerometer etc. On iOS, as embedded User Interface WebView is unlike Safari Browser, popular hybrid mobile app framework is incorporated to fix the debugging problems.

By including native elements of UI in requirement, the Hybrid mobile apps look and offer features just like native apps which make it hard to distinguish between a native and hybrid app as both of them has same functionality.

Nitty - Gritty of Hybrid Mobile Application Development

The Hybrid Mobile Applications run with the following strategies during the fundamental developmental stage -

  • The Hybrid Apps are developed with a single language unlike the native apps and by relying on WebView it is made suitable for multiple operating systems.
  • To ensure app distribution on app stores, the Hybrid App is developed instead of RWD web application which can only be accessed with web browser of device
  • By using the common codes like CSS, HTML and JavaScript, the lack of resource is resolved by hybrid mobile app development services.
  • With applications like WebGL and HTML5, building game apps is not a problem.

Advantages Of Using Hybrid Mobile App Development

The hybrid apps are developed to be compatible with WebView instead of in-built browser to make use of hardware and software APIs. The Interface of a hybrid app is like a website with 300ms delay of clicks and phantom clicks during scrolling. The advantages include

Minimalist Maintenance

Although having similarity with web app, the hybrid app development makes the apps highly functional to utilize both hardware and software features. While in native app development, rolling out of newer updates and versions is quite regular, that of hybrid app makes maintenance easier while bypassing any versioning in real time. It not only enhances flexibility of use but also overall scalability.

Easy Integration

By integrating an overlay, the hybrid apps are developed to influence internal programming of the device. It enables smooth synchronization with compatible apps while reducing any integration issue. The apps work efficiently with native apps like messaging, camera, WiFi, GPS etc to enhance user experience.

Enhanced UX/UI

The popularity and acceptability of hybrid apps is enhanced by the consistency of user experience (UX) in variegated mobile platforms. Users will never find any bugs or glitches while using the apps on multiple devices as the apps are developed to be instantly responsive. While you are displayed faster data within different sizes of screen configurations, you can be assured of zero data streaming fluctuation. The app being light-weight, the Use Interface (UI) is created strategically to load contents and graphics quickly.

Offline Help

The Hybrid app development ensures that API of the device is stored in way that the app takes minimum time to load. During low or zero internet connection, the app thus helps the user to access the partial information. Reducing data consumption is obviously one of the major factors sought after by the users and the hybrid apps offer uninterrupted access with no bug.

Low Development Cost

Developing a hybrid app takes less time than that of native apps and the development cost is lower too. Being cost-effective, the hybrid apps help in launching the business apps quickly with help of development frameworks and libraries on various app stores.

A hybrid app being compatible with apple, Android or Windows configuration has opened a new pathway for small and large-scale business and the developers work efficiently in making the apps discoverable among the global masses with logical moves.
