Mobile development is the process of building applications that work on mobile devices. In most cases, they need an Internet connection to get access to remote resources that enable their operation.
So, this type of development embraces software for smartphones, tablets and smart wearable devices that rely on an operating system to work.
Why do companies opt for mobile applications and don’t settle for desktop software? Because mobile applications give them the following benefits:
- Improved sales
- Higher business performance and productivity
- Better customer reach and engagement
- Higher brand recognition
- Streamlined corporate communication and cooperation
- Convenient customer communication and service
Depending on its purpose, mobile software falls into specific types:
- Social media applications, which serve as an extension to web-based social media services (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.)
- Lifestyle applications, which enable hotel and flight booking, dating, fitness, music and other activities (Booking.com, Uber, Spotify, etc.)
- Games (Angry Birds, Pokemon, etc.)
- Utility applications, which streamline daily routine (weather apps, calculators, reminders, etc.)
- Productivity applications, which streamline business routine (Docs, Evernote, Asana, etc.)
- News applications (Reddit, Flipboard, Google News, BBC News, etc.)
The Mobile Application Development Lifecycle
Mobile development usually includes the following stages:
- Creating the frontend (software installed on a device), which involves its building, testing, release, monitoring and analysis
- Creating the backend (services that support the frontend), which also involves building, testing, deployment, monitoring and analysis
- Testing the application on target devices
The following mobile application development approaches exist today:
- Native development — the creation of an application for a specific operating system, with the proper consideration of all its requirement and standards
- Cross-platform, or hybrid, development — the creation of applications that are compatible with all mobile operating systems and work equally efficiently on each of them
- Progressive web applications — the creation of applications that have the form of web resources, but look like native software to users
- Mobile web applications — the creation of web applications that are adjusted to the requirements of mobile browsers and make the most out of their capabilities to have a native look and feel
Native and cross-platform development are undisputedly the leading approaches in building a mobile application, and we’ll give them proper attention in the following sections. PWAs and mobile web apps have only started gaining traction, and we’ll explore them briefly now.
