Mobile cross-platform app development tools

Testing Cross-Platform Mobile App Development Frameworks

Mobile app developers often wish to make their apps available on a wide variety of platforms, e.g., Android, iOS, and Windows devices. Each of these platforms uses a different programming environment, each with its own language and APIs for app development. Small app development teams lack the resources and the expertise to build and maintain separate code bases of the app customized for each p...

Cross-Platform Mobile App Software Development in the Curriculum

The Department of Computer and Information Technology at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana has offered courses in app development for mobile devices (e.g. smartphones) beginning in 2002. Teaching mobile app development courses present many challenges to educators given that mobile device technologies are changing at a blistering pace, and there is no clear smartphone market leader.

Desirable Requirements of Cross Platform Mobile Development Tools

The ubiquity of mobile devices is the result of increasing popularity of mobile applications that are becoming more diverse and intuitive. The mobile device market is composed of several mobile platforms such as Android and iOS, so it is important to be able to deliver applications available for more than one platform in less time. But it is becoming increasingly difficult with the incompatibil...

Cross-Platform Mobile Application Development

Comprehensive Analysis of Innovative Cross-Platform App Development Frameworks

Mobile apps are increasingly realized by using a crossplatform development framework. Using such frameworks, code is written once but the app can be deployed to multiple platforms. Despite progress in research on cross-platform techniques, results (i.e. apps) are not always satisfactory. They are subject to tedious tailoring and the development effort tends to be notable. In these cases, either...
