Mobile application development is the process of creating software applications that run on a mobile device, and a typical mobile application uses a network connection to work with remote computing resources. Therefore, the mobile development process involves creating installable software packages (code, binaries, assets, etc.), implementing back-end services such as data access with an API, and testing of the app on target devices.

Mobile apps and device platforms

There are two dominant platforms in the modern smartphone market. One is Apple Inc.'s iOS platform. The iOS platform is the operating system that powers Apple's popular iPhone line of smartphones. The second is Google's Android. The Android operating system is used not only by Google devices but also by many other OEMs to create their own smartphones and other smart devices.

Although there are some similarities between these two platforms when building apps, iOS development versus Android development involves the use of different software development kits (SDKs) and different development toolchains. While Apple uses iOS exclusively for its own devices, Google makes Android available to other companies as long as they meet specific requirements, such as including certain Google apps on the devices they ship. Developers can build apps for hundreds of millions of devices by targeting these two platforms.

Alternatives for building mobile applications

There are four main development approaches when building mobile apps

Native Mobile Applications
Cross-platform native mobile apps
Hybrid Mobile Applications
Progressive Web Apps

Each of these approaches to developing mobile apps has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. When choosing the right development approach for their projects, developers consider the desired user experience, compute resources and native features required by the application, development budget, time goals, and resources available to maintain the application.
