Cross Platform Apps Development

With the market share of smart phones increasing in the mobile phone segment and almost 50% of the Wi-Fi connections being accessed on handsets, the demand for mobile apps is slowly catching up with web apps. However, unlike web apps, the dilemma that most companies face in developing mobile apps is the decision that they have to take about which platforms the application should be developed for. If an app has to be made compliant with iPhone, android, Blackberry and other mobile operating systems that are commonly used, it would involve using different technologies and languages for writing the code for each platform.

This is where Open Source frameworks for Cross Platform development help, by enabling programmers to bypass proprietary languages such as Objective C and help in building apps that are device-neutral and work across different operating systems. Popular platforms such as PhoneGap, Rhomobile and Titanium can be used to create innovative cross platform apps that integrate native capabilities of mobile devices such as in built cameras, geo location, vibration, sounds and storage capabilities.

While all these platforms have their pros and cons, PhoneGap, which is based on HTML and JavaScript technologies that developers are already familiar with, is widely recognised as one of the best Cross Platform Mobile Application development framework. It is the only Mobile framework that supports 6 different platforms, including iPhone, android, Symbian, Windows and BlackBerry.

By using standard web technologies, PhoneGap helps to bridge the gap between web applications and mobile devices. As an Open Source solution, it is also cost effective and can be used across free, commercial and open source applications without restrictions.

At TechAhead, our Mobile Application Development team has successfully deployed several PhoneGap based cross platform development projects. They have the requisite skills and expertise to write code by taking advantage of PhoneGap build tools and plug-ins to deploy your application across multiple platforms within timelines and budgets.
