Native
Native development in Android and iOS is still the most powerful way to develop mobile apps if complete platform capabilities are required. We have been working on native platform pretty much from the first version of the developer SDKs on both platforms (and actually on the Windows Mobile platform and the ancient Symbian platform when they were still alive!). Although powerful the are not our typical choice as the codebase needs to be separate for each mobile OS leading to more work and cost.
Flutter
Flutter is fast becoming the top cross-platform mobile application development technology. Using the Dart programming language opens for fast forwarded dev cycles. It’s led by Google with it’s open source cross-platform SDK supported by plugins. Application development in Android and iOS is made easy and fast in this platform and it is the platform of choice for any new project.
Ionic
Ionic is based on HTML5. It’s a widely used technology for mobile app development today. Integrating HTML, CSS3, and JavaScript the platform can be used to build native apps. It leverages on iOS’s UIWebView or Android’s WebView. And it is built on top of Angular JS and Apache Cordova.
Xamarin
This is a cross-platform mobile application development framework that uses C# uses. Building apps for iOS and Android with one codebase that is in .NET means that the knowledge and skills of a .NET team that is otherwise involved in web development can be utilized.
Bangladesh is a great destination for software development in the mobile platforms. With such wide range of skills and in depth experience in a wide array of native and cross platform mobile application development it is a country that is coming up fast as one of the top destination for mobile apps.
