The Top 12 Frameworks for Hybrid Mobile Apps
Introduction: hybrid apps are and have always been about availing and doing much more in app development. Hybrid apps have emerged as user favourites on several parameters. But what makes Hybrid Mobile App Development so enticing and attractive? What are the most attributive frameworks that help shape these user-friendly and engaging apps? Let’s discover this and more below.
Technical Configurations of Hybrid Mobile Apps
Hybrid apps are web apps encased in shells of native apps. But unlike native apps, hybrid app development adopts or has a diversity of app building frameworks using coding languages like JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS among others while designing the apps.Best 12 Frameworks for Hybrid Mobile Apps
1. React Native
This popular and common hybrid app development platform was first released in
2013 as ReactJS and later on upgraded to ReactNative in 2015. It combines
native APIs with Javascript coding language.
2. Xamarin
Acquired by Microsoft in 2016, Xamarin has since become one of the most
treasured hybrid app development solutions. Xamarin adopts and applies C#
coding for all apps. This also avails access to .Net features.
3. NativeScript
NativeScript has been around for quite a while (to be exact 2014). With this
length in app development, it has established itself as one of the most
reliable and dependable app making software in the market today. Adapting
JavaScript and XML in code development, NativeScript also supports Angular 2.0
and TypeScript to make hybrid apps.
4. Sencha Touch
Written on HTML5 and CSS3 codebase, Sencha Touch supports most operating
systems. That is a unique and special plus. Though most if not all hybrid apps
now do have this feature, the app framework has evolved to better.
5. Apache Cordova
Developed by Adobe systems Cordova which before was known as PhoneGap is coded
with CSS and HTML5 and Javascript. And this is validated through the ‘cloud
compiler’ for the final hybrid or cross-platform app generation.
6. Ionic
Ionic is a dominant and long-standing hybrid app development platform. Started
way back in 2013, Ionic avails unique UI elements for each platform by adopting
Node.js in Javascript ecosystems.
7. Framework 7
Based on HTML5 coding, this open-source framework is quite famous for hybrid
apps. Apart from its reliable coding, Framework 7 is very accessible and free
for all app developers.
8. Appcelerator Titanium
Built on JavaScript coding, Appcelerator Titanium is mainly run on a Titanium
SDK. With web-oriented SDK and several API functions, this framework has been
around for some time.
9. Flutter
Designed and developed by Google, the world’s largest search engine, Flutter
amazingly creates apps for all platforms. Adapting DART, which uses Javascript
and Kotlin coding, Flutter ensures hybrid app development from one codebase.
10. Mobile Angular UI
As an open-source framework, it uses HTML5 to code and writes apps. However,
with the addition of Angular JS and Bootstrap to develop the apps, there is
stability and credibility to apps.
11. Firebase
A JavaScript coded base means there is always stability, reliability and
credibility to the apps. Since it’s owned by Google adds another layer to the
credibility and reliability base. However, other unique features enable and
make hybrid mobile app development an excellent adventure.
12. Appy Pie AppMkr
Strange as it may sound, this software does allow a no-code app development
model. That means app developers can develop apps minus writing code. But how
is that possible? Appy Pie AppMkr avails intuitive UI with 200+ features to
adapt while creating and making the apps.
Conclusion
From this collection of app development frameworks, we can see that hybrid app development frameworks have and are still evolving to this day. It also shows that Hybrid Mobile App Development has indeed come from afar and has still had a long way to go in innovation terms.
