The difference between native and hybrid app development
If you’re looking to build a minimum viable product with basic functionality and test it with users on different device ecosystems, you can bypass the significant time and resources needed for full native development by instead using a hybrid approach.
Apps developed specifically for native operating systems using languages like Swift, Objective-C, Java, and Kotlin can use device hardware specific to Apple and Android, but not every app needs to. If your app completes a more basic function or pertains to a more specific use case, hybrid is worth considering.
Benefits of working with a full-service hybrid app development company
One code base: Because you’re building one app instead of two, your codebase will be easier to maintain. This approach saves time and money, giving you the ability to get your MVP up and running faster.
Native distribution: Hybrid mobile apps can be optimized for and advertised on the App Store and Google Play. Broad native distribution allows you to target and convert high-value users for additional devices and technology ecosystems.
Access to native hardware: You can still leverage shared OS hardware features through hybrid development. The benefit is creating apps that complete a specific set of functions without getting stuck optimizing for a single ecosystem.
