The infographic, which can be accessed on this link, has multiple sections describing various aspects of both native app development and cross-platform app development.

The infographic details the fundamental differences between native and cross-platform mobile app development.

The fundamental difference between native and cross-platform mobile apps, as per the infographic, is that native apps can use the core features of the operating system. Cross-platform mobile apps cannot access all the native functions of an operating system. Hence, when you build a native mobile app, you need to build separate apps for iOS and Android. If you go with cross-platform mobile app development, the same app will work in iOS as well as Android.

Although there are many comprehensive blog posts on what are the differences between native mobile app development and cross-platform mobile app development, this infographic gives you a detailed view of not just the differences, but what would be the best option for you in case you are considering developing a mobile app for your business.

In the infographic, you can see that there are quite widely used mobile apps both in the native as well as cross-platform categories. Take for example Instagram, which is a cross-platform mobile app and so far it has been downloaded 13 billion times. Facebook Messenger is a native application and it has been downloaded 5.2 billion times.

The infographic also tells you which programming languages are used to develop native as well as cross-platform mobile apps. For example, Swift is the most widely used language “ 53% of programmers use it to develop websites “ and it is used to develop iOS native mobile apps.

According to Mr. CR Venkatesh, the CEO of Dot Com Infoway, œThis is a consistent dilemma being faced by businesses “ whether to choose native or cross-platform mobile app development.
