Enterprise Apps Mobile Strategy
Having a next-gen mobile app is the dream of every small to large-scale enterprises. organizations should clear about the business requirements, understand the technical feasibility and implementation of the concepts.
During intial development or prototyping phase, mobile app developers define the design, structure, architecture, features, and functions of the mobile app. Before starting with code development, both business and development team have to discuss and select the most suitable technologies, platforms, frameworks, and tools for the application. we need to assist businesses in selecting suitable and cost-effective tech stack for their mobile apps.
To build a robust mobile app in terms of scalability and performance, we need to work on technology aspects.
Front-end (Client Side)
Backend (Server Side)
Mobile App Development Platforms
Non -functional Requirements
Front-end (Client Side) Tech Stack:
Building a mobile application for a multiple channels and platforms is a must to reach out the larger audience, increase the sales and generate maximum ROI. With cross-platform features, mobile applications can run seamlessly on different operating systems. To deliver better experience to the users, enterprises have to selectfrom Native, Hybrid and Progressive Web Apps as per the business needs. Native Apps
Most of the mobile applications have been developed native apps API's called Native Apps. They are designed to perform effectively on a specific mobile operating system. Native apps. Build different versions code of the same app for different mobile o.s.
Different platforms are as follows
iOS Platform::
Technology: Swift or Objective C
Toolkit: Apple Xcode & Intelli AppCode (iOS)
Android Platform
Technology: Java
Toolkit: Android Studio Tools for Eclipse
Advantages
Faster Performance
Better User Experience
Highest Security
Greater Responsiveness
Device Notifications
Access to Devices and applications like contact, camera, GPS, compass, accelerometer, etc.)
Gesture Control
Work Offline
Hybrid Apps::
Basically, Hybrid applications are mobile versions of the web applications. They are built using HTML5 and JavaScript and residing in Native containers, load data on the page as users moves through applications. Toolkit
Sencha Touch
Unity
Apache Cordova/Adobe PhoneGap
AppGuyver Steroids.js
Advantages :
Easy Portabilityv
One Code Base Development
Multi-platform Compatibility
Faster Speed to Market
Cost-effective
Access to required hardware /software features using plug-ins
Progressive Web Apps::
They contain HTML5 code that gives a native-like look and feel to the users. Also, they run in a browser.
Toolkit
React JS
Angular JS
AMP
Lighthouse

Advantages:
Easy to Maintain
A common code based development
Run on multiple mobile platforms
Mobile App Development Platforms:: With more demand for mobile application development, governance and unification increases. To reduct the cost of development organizations need to adopt suitable mobile app development platforms.
To pick up the best platform, analyze and consider :
Ease of integration with different layers of application, database, APIs, and back end systems
Integrated development environment – features and functionality of multi-channel and multi-platform
Seamless integration of core mobile backend services such as offline synchronization, geo-location services, push notifications, token management, authentication, and certification, etc.
Integration of mobile app development tools that contain architecture design, development, testing, deployment, and support.v
One of the biggest challenges of developing mobile applications is trying to port the appplication to multiple platforms.
Porting application to multiple platforms can lead to extensive development costs
Need for multiple skillsets internally in order to maintain the apppcation.
