Before the advent of Cross platform mobile application development tools like Xamarin, businesses were spending lots of money and time for three native mobile applications development for same project - iOS, Android and Windows!
Native applications, work the best on the platform for which they have been developed and can be harnessed to bring the results when required. But when the applications need to work across multiple platforms and devices, different set of code needs to be written and maintained for different operating systems. Maintaining enterprise applications and apps can become a challenge for every platform with increased time, QA efforts and costs.
Cross platform mobile application development solves these issues to a large extent. Applications and solutions developed in cross platform technologies provide similar user experiences and ensure a wider reach. They promote the use of newer technologies keeping the development costs drastically low as compared to developing individual applications for each platform.
Benefits of Cross Platform Mobile Application Development listed below.
1. Faster Development and Deployment Cycles
It is always faster and easier to develop a cross platform mobile app rather than a native app for individual platforms
A single code thus developed increases the speed of development as the teams do not need to develop an app for every platform from scratch
2. Drastic Reduction in Costs
The costs reduce dramatically if the rollout of any cross platform system is done with proper thought
Development and deployment on multiple operating systems is easier and less cumbersome
Updates to the software can be easily implemented across platforms without carrying out the exercise for various platforms
3. A Wider Audience Reached
The reach of the mobile apps and the solutions increase dramatically when developed using cross platform techniques
It goes without saying that when most widely used operating systems and the platforms are catered to, the audience and its loyalty is assured
4. Uniform UI/UX
User Experience is the most important consideration for apps and software today.
A uniform UX across platforms and devices pitches the application on a very positive note
The UI/UX are assured to remain uniform for every update and are easy to sync as well
5. Searchable Contents
The contents on HTML 5 and generated by other cross platform mobile application development tools can be crawled and indexed by search engines
The chances of them being discovered by people searching on the internet are very high
This increases the accessibility of the app tremendously
