** Very true.  I wasn't sure how to work this to best keep a NPOV - for example, I know that Symbian is a lot harder to code in than J2ME, and I think everyone else would agree, but how to state that without using a non-NPOV?  Very open to suggestions.  Also, if it isn't a NPOV, but everyone agrees, is it ok?  [[User:Benjaminhill|Benjaminhill]] 22:20, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

== Mophun / Cibyl ==
[[Mophun]] (http://www.mophun.com) is another C-based development environment for mobile phones. The runtime environment was prepackaged in some older phones, but for more modern phones it has to be downloaded separately.

Also (and maybe this disqualifies me?), I'm developing the Cibyl (http://spel.bth.se/index.php/Cibyl) which is a C-based programming environment for J2ME devices which recompiles MIPS binaries into Java bytecode, and Lessphun (http://spel.bth.se/index.php/Lessphun) which is an implementation of the Mophun API for Cibyl. Both are [[GPL]]/[[LGPL]] free software.

== Appcelerator Titanium and Nitobi Phone Gap ==
Mobile development technologies are hot and the market is fragmented. This means the tables need to show lots of rows at this point until the long term winning platforms are sorted out in the marketplace. At this point, though, this page is missing two important mobile development platforms for iPhone, Android and other devices. What's more, they enable people with Web Development/JavaScript skills to break onto these platforms. Each product is very different. 

[[Appcelerator Titanium]] (http://www.appcelerator.com) creates full on apps using the native UI and local functionality such as geolocation, filesystem and the accelerometer. 

[[PhoneGap]] (http://www.nitobi.com) lets Javascript developers easily snap off their web-based app pages to take advantage of local operation of phones. 

Admittedly I'm more familiar with Appcelerator Titanium and am comfortable adding it to the table. Should I go for it? Does someone have PhoneGap knowledge to contribute?

== Deletion proposal ==

* '''Keep but overhaul''' I didn't create the article but I have already proposed above that it needs some major modifications.  I think there is a need for an overhaul, including a title change to '''Mobile Application development''' or something similar.  There is some material that can be saved but I agree most of it is subjective and bordering on research.  This is a major topic though and worthy of an article (unless it's duplicated somewhere else - haven't checked that yet. 

Also It has been around since 2006 so I don't think speedy deletion is the right tool! [[User:ChrisUK|ChrisUK]] ([[User talk:ChrisUK|talk]]) 09:02, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

* I disagree that it is subjective or research - everything in the main grid is factual distilling of various and often complex data sources.

Emulator available 	= XML forms can be previewed in InfoPath, or just "Yes"

Integrated development environment available = InfoPath 
	
Cross-platform deployment = Same XML form runs on IOS, Android, WM6.x client software

''' # Native Apps '''
All Apps targeted towards particular mobile platforms are known as Native apps. Therefore, an App meant for Apple will never open in Android devices. This is why most businesses develop apps for multiple platforms. <br>

While developing native apps, professionals incorporate best-in-class user interface modules. This accounts for better performance, consistency and good user experience. Users also benefit from wider access to Apps Program Interfaces (APIs) and make limitless use of all Apps from the particular device. Further, they also switch over from one app to another effortlessly.<br>

The main purpose behind creating such apps is to ensure best performance for specific mobile operating system.

''' # Hybrid Apps '''

Concept of Hybrid Apps is a mix of native and web-based apps. Apps developed using Xamarin, Angular Mobile, React Native, Sencha Touch, Iconic and other similar technology fall within this category.<br>

These are made to support web and native technologies across multiple platforms, hence the name hybrid. Moreover, these apps are easier and faster to develop. It involves use of single code which works in multiple mobile operating systems.<br>

Despite such advantages, hybrid apps are slower in speed and performance. Often, apps fail to bear the same look n feel in different mobile operating systems. 

''' # Web-Based Apps '''
These Apps are coded in HTML 5, CSS or JavaScript. Presence of strong internet connection is required for proper behavior and user-experience of this group of Apps. <br>

By default, these Apps captures minimum memory space in the user devices compared to Native and Hybrid Apps. Since all the personal databases are saved on the Internet servers, users can fetch their desired data from any device through internet.<br>

The only con is that app developers don’t get sufficient access to mobile operating system API. [[User:Altafhsayyed|Altafhsayyed]] ([[User talk:Altafhsayyed|talk]]) 06:21, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

== Types of Mobile Apps ==

'''Types of Mobile Apps''' [http://it.nimetler.com/index.php/2019/01/10/3-types-of-new-age-apps/]

There are mainly three kinds of apps- Native, Hybrid and Web-based.

'''# Native Apps''' 
All Apps targeted towards particular mobile platforms are known as Native apps. Therefore, an App meant for Apple will never open in Android devices. This is why most businesses develop apps for multiple platforms. 
While developing native apps, professionals incorporate best-in-class user interface modules. This accounts for better performance, consistency and good user experience. Users also benefit from wider access to Apps Program Interfaces (APIs) and make limitless use of all Apps from the particular device. Further, they also switch over from one app to another effortlessly.
The main purpose behind creating such apps is to ensure best performance for specific mobile operating system.

'''# Hybrid Apps'''
Concept of Hybrid Apps is a mix of native and web-based apps. Apps developed using Xamarin, Angular Mobile, React Native, Sencha Touch, Iconic and other similar technology fall within this category.
These are made to support web and native technologies across multiple platforms, hence the name hybrid. Moreover, these apps are easier and faster to develop. It involves use of single code which works in multiple mobile operating systems.
Despite such advantages, hybrid apps are slower in speed and performance. Often, apps fail to bear the same look n feel in different mobile operating systems.

'''# Web-Based Apps''' 
These Apps are coded in HTML 5, CSS or JavaScript. Presence of strong internet connection is required for proper behavior and user-experience of this group of Apps. 
By default, these Apps captures minimum memory space in the user devices compared to Native and Hybrid Apps. Since all the personal databases are saved on the Internet servers, users can fetch their desired data from any device through internet.
The only con is that app developers don’t get sufficient access to mobile operating system API.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Altafhsayyed|Altafhsayyed]] ([[User talk:Altafhsayyed#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Altafhsayyed|contribs]]) 12:41, 12 January 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Mobile app development price

The price of [https://pixelfield.co.uk/mobile-application-development/ mobile app development] is influenced by several factors. One of the most important is the demanding features of the mobile application itself. Simple mobile applications can move in lower hundreds of thousands of euro. In the case of a complex mobile application, the development of such a mobile application can be up to millions of euro.

Hybrid App Development

Hybrid app development is basically a combination of both native app development and web app development. Web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and HTML are used to write the core of the application and a native app is used for encapsulation. In today’s scenario, the need for hybrid app development has increased tremendously due to the fact that many apps are being launched day by day into the market which is of diverse nature. The need to cater to both android and iOS users is a vital reason for the boom of hybrid app development. Also, since hybrid app development has a common code base and takes the shorted time to develop, hybrid app development has an upper hand.

When analyzing the importance of [https://siamcomputing.com/digital-transformation/web-vs-native-vs-hybrid/ hybrid app vs native app development], it is clear that both have their own pros and cons. Adopting a hybrid app development process comes in handy due to the fact that it is easier to develop and run one app project across diverse platforms like iOS, Android, Windows, etc. Hybrid app development provides consistency in UI across multiple platforms in a cost-effective manner. Among the list of hybrid app development frameworks, React Native tops the list. The other hybrid app development frameworks are Flutter, Xamarin, Mobile Angular UI, Ionic, Corona SDK, etc. [[User:Siamcomputing|Siamcomputing]] ([[User talk:Siamcomputing|talk]]) 06:22, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

== Benefit of Mobile App ==

The Mobile App is more convenient than the Website. If potential consumers need a service or product, it is more likely that they will look it up on their mobile than on a laptop. Research shows that most searches are conducted on-the-go while socializing, driving, and waiting for appointments when no one has access to a laptop or desktop system.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Swetawork17|Swetawork17]] ([[User talk:Swetawork17#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Swetawork17|contribs]]) 08:13, 31 December 2020 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== DroidScript ==

Please add DroidScript to the list of Development Tools.
It runs on Android devices, and can be used to code, and test Android apps.
The main app is free, but to build an APK or AAB requires an add-on which requires a Premium subscription or lifetime payment. The programming language is javascript with objects and methods to interact with Android.
Code can be run with a debug option. All code runs on the phone/tablet so no emulator is required.
Website is <ref>https://droidscript.org/</ref>
It has been downloaded form the Google Play Store over 1 million times.
