Hire Cross Platform App DevelopersCross Platform App

The hybrid app is written with the same technology used for websites and mobile web implementations and is hosted or run on a local container on a mobile device. Hybrid applications use web view control to display HTML and JavaScript files in a full-screen format using the native browser rendering engine (not the browser itself). Webkit is a browser rendering engine used on iOS, Android, Blackberry, and others.

This means that the HTML and JavaScript used to build the hybrid app are by the WebKit processed by rendering engine and displayed to the user in full-screen web view control, not in the browser. A hybrid app is created as a single app for use on multiple platforms like Android, iOS, and Windows. It is a single app that works on many operating systems like iOS, Android, Windows, etc.

Main differences between Native, Hybrid, and Web Applications:

Native Apps:
– Single platform affinity
– Written in platform Software Development Kit (SDK)
– Must be written for each platform
– Access to native APIs
– Distribution on application stores.

Hybrid Apps:
– Cross-platform affinity
– Distribution on application stores.
– Access to native APIs
– Runs locally on devices
– Written with web technologies

Web Apps:
– Cross-platform affinity
– Written in web technologies.
– Runs on the server
– Low access to the device APIs

Why Hybrid Apps?
– Write once and run anywhere. The same code base for all platforms
– Written using web technologies, the same team can develop the apps who develop the websites
– Hybrid apps can have the same hardware-based performance as native apps
– Consistent user experience across the platforms
