Mobile adoption is growing at an exponential rate and organizations are rushing to create apps for customers and for use within the business. Many companies have an oversight to recognize mobile platforms as a new business model, and are trying to replicate their online presence on mobile applications. On the other hand, to improve upon the mobile app experience, some businesses are building native apps that are specific to a variety of different operating systems and devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, coming years belong to hybrid mobile apps that combine the use of native programming with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, which are delivered in a native shell to specific types of devices. Despite the fact that it\u2019s hard to weave the interface between native and HTML together in a seamless way, popularity of hybrid applications that blend native and web coding is increasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start with, hybrid mobile apps primarily relies on providing functionality by running web app or displaying web content inside of a native app container<\/a> or wrapper, with below mentioned functionalities;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Web Content: HTML5 Web pages just displaying information
\u2022 Web Application: Interactive HTML5\/JavaScript web pages that also include app functionality
\u2022 Remote & Local: Content & App functionality can reside on the local mobile device or fetched from a remote server on an as-needed basis
\u2022 Optimal Usage: Content-intensive apps such as newspapers, magazines, support forums, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparing Web, Native and Hybrid Development Approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Benefits of Hybrid Mobile Apps Development<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n


\u2022 App Store Discoverability
\u2022 Single Codebase Development Cost Optimization
\u2022 HTML5 Developer Ubiquity
\u2022 Native Mobile Device-Specific Functionality
\u2022 Rapid Development Cycle
\u2022 Maintenance Cost Optimization<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges:
\u2022 Non-Native UI Interface: Not as Attractive
\u2022 Native UI Performance Superior
\u2022 Platform Variations for Web View Implementation
\u2022 Latency in Fetching Remote HTML Content
\u2022 Extensive Native\/Web Data Integration
\u2022 Non-Streamlined Coding \u2013 Patchwork Under the Hood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Practices – Hybrid Mobile Apps <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Keep Color Scheme Consistent with Web Content
o Avoids a Patchwork on the Presentation Layer
o Presents an \u2018illusion\u2019 of a Single App and not an App within App<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Cache Web Content
o Minimizes Latency on Server Content
o Allows for Offline Content Viewing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Provide Content Search Functionality in a Native View
o Improves Search Return Performance
o Allows for Integration of Device-Specific Functions into Search (Speech Recognition, Bar Code Scanning, etc)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Maintain Mobile-Specific Features within Native Mobile App:
o Push Notification Settings
o Calendar Synchronization Switch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
