Practice: Mobile Application Development

We build both native and hybrid mobile apps.  We research and evaluate our clients’ long-term goals to propose the most appropriate approach.

Here are some of the questions we ask:

1. What platforms are we targeting?  iOS, Android, Windows or some combination? 
2. Do we have a strong business case to go native or can get away with a simpler hybrid approach?  Here are some options to consider: 
   • Hybrid: Ionic/Cordova
   • Native
     • Compiled: React Native or Xamarin
     • Fully native: Swift or Objective-C
3. How far do we go in support of old devices and operating systems?
   • Android support recommendation: 4.4+. Android distribution
   • iOS support recommendation: 9. iOS distribution
4. Do we need anything on the server side?  
5. Do we need an admin dashboard?
