Why Choose Cross-Platform Development Approach
When you consider building a mobile solution, you might face the challenge of choosing the right approach to develop an app. Both native and hybrid apps have their advantages to be taken into account, depending on your project requirements and available resources.
Native mobile app development will support your product with complex functionality, high performance, and great data protection. However, if your goal is to enter the market in a short timeframe and your budget is limited, then cross-platform development will be a better choice. It will take a single development team to create an app for multiple platforms with the same user experience as a native mobile app.
STEP-BY-STEP DEVELOPMENT
End-to-End Cross-Platform Mobile App Development Services
Analysis and Planning
By undertaking a product needs assessment during the project discovery phase, our business analysts set important prerequisites for the delivery of a mobile solution that corresponds to the client’s expectations. Making sure they have the correct understanding of your business processes and goals, they will prioritize requirements and identify potential development challenges. The work on detailed specifications and app prototyping helps us to validate the functionality, create a project roadmap, and define the scope of work.
Design and Development
The challenge of cross-platform development is to make the app ‘feel like home’ on every device, regardless of whether it is based on Android, iOS, or Windows Phone. Utilizing the development tools such as React Native, Xamarin, and Titanium, Velvetech’s engineers are able to recreate the native experience and performance on every single platform. When building mobile solutions, we use the iterative development methodology that helps us to reduce project expenses, take into account all clients’ wishes, and complete the work on time.
Testing and Deployment
When working on cross-platform apps, it’s important to make sure they run smoothly on all mobile OS across numerous devices. At Velvetech, testers and QA experts are actively involved in the project development from the initial stage. Conducting thorough analysis, they identify product bottlenecks and defects in order to fix all problems and optimize the app performance. After all, our specialists will assist you with the app deployment. You can rely on their knowledge of the publication requirements and procedures, which serves as a guarantee against the refusal of your application by one of the stores.
Support and Optimization
As any other technology, a mobile application needs to be maintained as the time goes by. Velvetech provides all types of support and optimization services to its clients. This includes bug fixing, adding new features, extending functionality, increasing backend capacity, and upgrading the app. The main goal of all these post-production activities is to ensure that our mobile solution meets new user and technical requirements, and corresponds to your business needs when they evolve.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you make a hybrid mobile app?
Once you’ve decided you need a mobile solution that would work seamlessly across multiple platforms, you should choose a reliable software development partner. After that, the process of building a hybrid app will take several easy and transparent steps. They will include collecting and analyzing product requirements, agile development, quality assurance, and deployment.
Besides, you’ll have to choose the right tech stack to create your hybrid application. There are various alternatives equally good for this purpose. Depending on your initial goals and needs, a development team will advise you which frameworks and programming languages will ensure the best performance and usability of your future app.
What are native and hybrid mobile applications?
Simply put, native mobile apps are the solutions built separately for every platform — Android or iOS — with the use of different native development stacks, programming languages, software development kits, and development environments offered by OS providers.
On the other hand, hybrid mobile apps are the solutions developed with standard web technologies and tools like Java and HTML5 and then packed into a native app shell. In other words, hybrid apps are deployed in a native container that uses a mobile’s WebView.
What is a cross-platform mobile application development?
Cross-platform mobile app development is an approach that enables creating a mobile solution simultaneously for different platforms. It’s a good alternative to native mobile app development if your time and budget are limited. This approach requires just one team experienced in JavaScript, .NET, or C# to build your cross-platform mobile app for iOS, Android, or Windows.
In general, if you want to bring your mobile app to market faster, reach a wider audience, and deliver a unified look and feel across multiple OSs, a cross-platform development strategy is the right choice. It also provides other advantages like a simplified process or a vast array of development tools.
Additionally, don’t forget that you can approach cross-platform mobile app creation by outsourcing to an outside development company or building in-house. It all depends on the capabilities your internal team has and how quickly you want to see the end result.
What is the difference between native app and hybrid app?
The core difference between the two approaches is that you build a native app separately for each particular operating system using platform-specific development tools. At the same time, hybrid apps are created with the use of a single code base and run seamlessly across multiple platforms.
Among other major differences are better performance, speed, and user experience of native apps, while hybrid apps are easy to update and require less development time and cost.
Which programming language is used for cross-platform app development?
A development team working on a cross-platform application should have extensive expertise in JavaScript, .NET, or C#. With a high level of competence in these programming languages, they can effectively use such cross-platform technologies as React Native, Flutter, Titanium, or Xamarin frameworks that simplify making a UI and achieving a flawless UX.
