Native or Hybrid: Which Technology Should Businesses Prefer For App Development Project



Well, mobile app development has been widely spread now but the debate of choosing native and hybrid mobile application development technologies is really a matter of being confused. How to hire a mobile application development company guides available online and one of them provide you the best of the information.

Going with one among native, or hybrid is a bit difficult decision but knowing about all the two should be used as per the stage the project is.


Going Native

Are you new to mobile development and want to build performance-critical mobile apps and/or take advantage of native APIs? Then, you need expert app developers to build the best performance apps you can get from the mobile phone.

Building native applications means using Objective-C on iOS and Java on Android but the process can be relatively long for complex applications. The application development is faster, simpler, more rapid and easy to maintain.


Going Hybrid

If you decided to develop hybrid applications, developed using HTML, CSS and JavaScript allows you to use any web-native framework you want. There are two main ‘competitors’ in this field targeting mobile platforms but work in very different ways:

1. Cordova based on tools like PhoneGap and

2. Appcelerator Titanium

Developing with Cordova is just like developing a webpage using HTML, CSS and JavaScript local files, and tests them in the browser and then wraps them in a native web view with Cordova.

Whereas, Titanium don’t require HTML and CSS files unless you want to create an application that uses both native and HTML-based User Interfaces. It provides a mobile tool set that helps you emulate your application on the real platform.


Both are the either or the perfect solutions to fulfill the different needs and preferences of users and developers. So, which one you will use in your application?
