A mobile application is a downloadable program or software that can be used on a smartphone, tablet or online via a computer. These programs are developed by mobile app development agencies, which bring together mobile design andUX design experts to ensure the creation or redesign of cost-effective applications tailored to customer needs. To develop applications and propose an efficient working tool for corporate clients, mobile development agencies first learn about the company's objectives, needs and budget. After analyzing the market and the competition in their sector of activity, they draw up a solution tailored to the company's mobile needs, based on a number of criteria: finances, functionalities, technologies used, programming languages, and so on. If the company approves the proposal, the mobile development agency begins work on the design of the application. The application is then developed in a more technical way before being published on the stores (App Store and Google Play). Once the mobile application has been launched, the agency monitors, maintains and updates it throughout its lifespan, making corrections as necessary. A mobile development agency is your best ally in ensuring the success of your mobile development. Designing or redesigning an application or any other web design requires expert handling: specialist mobile application developers are the best placed to achieve this performance!
A mobile development agency like Le Backyard can create or redesign three types of mobile applications.
Designed and developed for download on Android and iOS. For them, we can code with native languages such as Java, Kotlin, Swift and ObjectifC. These applications have high-performance potential, enabling users to exploit all the functionalities of the web operating system (sound, video, photo, GPS location, etc.).
are actually websites designed for use on smartphones. For them, we use languages such as html, css and JavaScript. Webviews can also be integrated.
Hybrid applications can be used on multiple platforms. In fact, React Native is based on the development of an Android or iOS application using a single language: JS for React native and Dart for Flutter. Both iOS and Android can be natively compiled using the Pods and Modules (Android) libraries. *
* For React Native, there's a bridge between the Java Script part and the native part, which reduces performance compared with native applications, but also ensures the use of phone functionalities and other applications such as GPS, etc. The advantage of React Native over Flutter is the use of JS (widespread among devs rather than dart) and the community of 22,326 contributors (1,039 contributors for Flutter).
