The principle is to use the same code to create a unique app that is compatible on different peripherals and platforms.<\/p>\n<p>In multiplatform development, different types of options are available:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>React-Native:<\/strong>\u00a0Developed by Meta, this user interface (UI) work frame allows developers to use similar Web React.js work frame concepts to create apps by using native UI components from each platform. This way, developers can develop in TypeScript and design a high-performant iOS and Android app that offers an interesting user interface. Native features are accessible with a high number of available plugins. It is also possible to integrate native code (Swift, Kotlin) if a particular feature requires access to a native feature and for which the plugin doesn\u2019t exist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>.NET:<\/strong>\u00a0This unified, open-source multiplatform development work frame allows developers to create many types of apps. One of .NET\u2019s notable benefits is that all the platforms\u2019 native API interfaces (such as iOS and Android) are directly accessible in C#: so there is no need to mix in Swift or Kotlin into the code to access these APIs. To share the UI code, Uno Platform\u00a0<strong>is an important open-source platform<\/strong>\u00a0that enables the creation of interfaces that work in iOS, macOS, Linux, Android, and WebAssembly environments.<\/li>\n<li>Uno Platform can be particularly efficient to develop interfaces compatible with different screen sizes, for example between an iPad and an iPhone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flutter:<\/strong>\u00a0this open-source framework from Google enables the creation of multiplatform apps compiled in native mode based on a single code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<p>En d\u00e9veloppement multiplateforme, diff\u00e9rents types d\u2019options sont disponibles :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>React-Native\u202f:<\/strong>\u00a0d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 par Meta, ce cadriciel (framework) d\u2019interface utilisateur permet aux d\u00e9veloppeur.euse.s d\u2019utiliser des concepts similaires au framework Web React.js pour produire des applications, en utilisant les composantes d\u2019interface utilisateur natives de chacune des plateformes. Les d\u00e9veloppeur.euse.s peuvent ainsi d\u00e9velopper en TypeScript et produire une application iOS et Android tr\u00e8s performantes offrant une interface utilisateur int\u00e9ressante. Les fonctionnalit\u00e9s natives sont accessibles avec un grand nombre de plugiciels (plugin)\u202f disponibles. Il est aussi possible d\u2019int\u00e9grer du code natif (Swift, Kotlin) si une fonctionnalit\u00e9 particuli\u00e8re requiert l\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 une fonctionnalit\u00e9 native et que le plugiciel n\u2019existe pas d\u00e9j\u00e0.<\/li>\n<li><strong>.NET\u202f:<\/strong>\u00a0de d\u00e9veloppement multiplateforme au code source libre unifi\u00e9e, elle permet de cr\u00e9er de nombreux types d&#8217;applications.

On the other hand, the market or the business context can sometimes impact the development type: some companies will focus on developing exclusively for iOS, considering the majority of its consumers use an iPhone. Others will want a unique app that meets all the users\u2019 needs, and so they will choose a multiplatform app.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Considering Time-to-Market Needs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Often, it\u2019s for its speedy production process that multiplatform development is favoured: indeed, since it consists of a single development process for several platforms, it is obvious that the global development time is notably quicker is we want to develop a mobile app for multiple operating systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Providing the Best User Experience and User Interface<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In terms of visual design, choosing native or multiplatform development won\u2019t affect decisions, because the main objective is to get the most out of native features and controls, like a \u00ab\u202fPrevious\u202f\u00bb button or navigational chart, to build a UX based on known user behaviours.<\/p>\n<p>For user interface, there exists two options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create an extremely customized UI reflecting brand image, whatever the platform;<\/li>\n<li>Create an Android interface that will remain similar to Google\u2019s Material Design and an iOS interface that follows HIG (Human Interface Guidelines).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Generally, the second option is more popular: it enables the creation of an interface based on the users\u2019 experience so that they don\u2019t feel lost.<\/p>\n<p>To do so, multiplatform development can tap into native features to adapt the most common functionalities to each operating system \u2013 and so to each user habit. On the other hand, native development will directly use native features.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Passing Quality Tests<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The biggest benefit of multiplatform app tests compared to native app tests is the data volume we can get by starting the tests on one platform or the other. For a multiplatform app, a first series of tests on iOS or Android will allow us to fix most bugs. Bugs specific to each platform, which are now fewer in numbers, can then be fixed.<\/p>\n<p>One of the challenges in multiplatform testing is that sometimes, correcting a bug in one platform can have an effect on another platform. Because of this risk, any modification will require testing on each platform to ensure no issue has been introduced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meeting Internal Needs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The choice of language will have a very important impact on the whole project, from start to finish. Indeed, the team responsible for the app, both the client\u2019s and at nventive, will need to be specialized in a certain type of development.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the client must be vigilant about its internal team\u2019s preexisting skills, since nventive\u2019s experts are skilled in all types of development.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74b139df e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"74b139df\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59f97ee2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"59f97ee2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1482\" height=\"988\" src=\"https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fulfilling-evolution-and-maintenance-needs.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-7279\" alt=\"Fulfilling Evolution and Maintenance Needs\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fulfilling-evolution-and-maintenance-needs.webp 1482w, https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fulfilling-evolution-and-maintenance-needs-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fulfilling-evolution-and-maintenance-needs-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nventive.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fulfilling-evolution-and-maintenance-needs-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1482px) 100vw, 1482px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ecd4389 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1ecd4389\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60e12315 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"60e12315\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Fulfilling Evolution and Maintenance Needs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As for maintenance and evolution, several factors apply to both native and multiplatform development.<\/p>\n<p>The first obvious factor is the platform\u2019s regular updates: each year, Apple and Google release a new version of their operating systems, inevitably imposing an update for the app. This can nonetheless bring nice continuous evolution opportunities, with the addition of new features offered in the new versions.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding multiplatform maintenance, apart from operating system updates, there is also the multiplatform technology that must be considered. In other words, when we choose this type of technology, we effectively must maintain three platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing multiplatform technology still has the major benefit of a unique code, which simplifies management.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taking into Account the Total Cost of Ownership<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to consider the\u00a0<strong>total cost of ownership<\/strong>, namely the app development cost, added to the operating costs during the app\u2019s useful life.
