[GDG on Campus UTH] - Native vs Cross-platform in Mobile application development 🚀

Excited to have shared insights on one of the most debated topics in mobile app development: Native vs Cross-Platform Development! 🎙️

Key takeaways:

- Native development (Kotlin, Swift) excels in performance and device integration but demands higher budgets and larger teams.
- Cross-platform frameworks like React Native, Flutter, and Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) offer faster, more cost-effective solutions for apps targeting multiple platforms.
- The right choice depends on your app's purpose, team expertise, and project constraints—there's no universal solution.

23. Consider between native and cross-platform app development GDG on Campus UTH
24. ( 1 ) 6 key aspects to consider The type and purpose of your future app ( 2 ) Team's experience in programming languages and tools ( 3 ) Long-term viability
25. ( 4 ) 6 key aspects to consider Development cost and your budget ( 5 ) Adoption in the industry ( 6 ) Visibility and learning resources
26. Native - High performance - Intuitive user experience - Access to the full feature set of a particular device - High cost - Big development team - More errors in code - Risks of having different logic on Android and iOS apps
27. Cross-platform - Shareable code - Faster development - Cost-effectiveness - New work opportunities - Flexible code sharing - Performance issues - Difficult to access native features of mobile devices - Limited UI consistency - Challenging hiring process
28. Performance-critical applications Deep integration with device hardware Platform-specific features are vital for long-term When to Choose Native
29. Budget and time constraints Apps targeting multiple platforms quickly Proof of concept or MVPs When to Choose Cross-Platform
