NATIVE VS HYBRID APPS. WHAT TO CHOOSE IN 2017?
2
Introductions
In today's development environment, there is
often a question - whether to create a mobile
site or a native app or a hybrid app. Before
developing the software, you, as a developer,
should spend the time to think about some aspects
thoroughly. Applaunch.io compared native and
hybrid development procedures to help you make a
right decision.
3
Native Apps?
Native apps are based on a programming language
specific to the platform for which they were
developed. These are usually Objective-C or Swift
for iOS and Java for Android. Native apps
typically have better performance with rendering
and animation than hybrid apps.
4
Hybrid Apps?
Hybrid app is a mobile application that includes
a web view (essentially an isolated instance of
the browser) to run a web application within the
native app, when using the native wrapper that
can communicate with a native device platform and
the Web view. This means that web apps can work
in the mobile device and at the same time have
access to the device, eg to the camera or to the
GPS functions.

Here is the comparison of the native and hybrid
apps
Hybrid App Native app
Has been developed with the help of HTML, CSS and Javascript Has been developed using the language that is specific to a platform, such as Objective-C or Swift for IOS, Java for Android, etc.
You write it once and then use it everywhere A special code for each platform
Average performance comparable to native apps Fastest response for users
Saves time and money Need more time, skills and resources
Development cycles are faster Need more money and development time
Eg Baskin Robbin , Sworkit , Untappd For example Paypal, Gmail

Ionic?
Ionic is a framework that allows developers to
develop hybrid mobile apps using such web
technologies as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Hybrid
mobile app is developed with the help of the
technologies commonly used for web. Hybrid apps
are located within the native applications so
they have access to the camera, the pedometer,
and other functionalities of the device,
eliminating the need to develop special devices
or operating systems. This means that you are
developing a website that is wrapped inside the
app.
7
React Native?
React Native is a framework developed by Facebook
for the development of native style apps for iOS
Android using a common language
JavaScript. Unlike hybrid apps, native apps are
designed specifically for the platform on which
they are to be used (iOS, Android, etc). React
Native allows the division of the code between
the platforms and empowers developers to create
special apps that are less cluttered and work
better than hybrid apps. With both React Native
and Native Apps, the gestures, such as clipping
or double pressing in your operating system, work
just as well as you did.

Ionic React Native
Easy to learn, has many already prepared and designed components. Learning curve with a few prepared native components
First-class documentation, which is clear and uniform Basic documentation compared to Ionic
You can use this codebase to develop apps for Android, IOS, Windows Phone, Web, Desktop, and PWA (Progressive Web App) One can use the same codebase (mostly) for the development of apps for Android, IOS, Windows Phone
Is coded by means of typoscript (typoscript is a typed subset of javascript, which is compiled in purely JavaScript) Is encoded using JSX (JSX is a preprocessor step that adds XML syntax to javascript)
You write it once and then use it everywhere One learns them once and then writes everywhere
Average performance because this technology uses WebView Very good performance
One uses Apache Cordova in Ionic 2 to have access to the functionality of the mobile phone hardware React native app is compiled into a native code and has a direct access to the native mobile features
Development cycles are very fast. You can make tests in the browser without using the emulator You can perform the test in the emulator or in the real device
It asks more questions about Ionic on StackOverflow and there is a very good community - Support React Native has more stars on GitHub with an equally powerful community - Support
Is based on Angular 2 and is supported by Google Is based on React and supported by Facebook

Conclusion
There are clear and distinct advantages and
disadvantages for both hybrid and native
approaches, and therefore this discussion is
still current. Speed ??of entry into the market,
a source code, cross-compatible web technologies,
easy updates, resource availability and lower
cost make hybrid applications very appealing.
10
But, finally, the greatest distraction of hybrid
apps is that the company is likely to spend more
time on upgrading and optimizing the app. This
happens because of the large number of complaints
from users about UI elements or about problems
associated with the performance. In addition,
native apps have the added advantage of features
specific to the operating system on which the app
is created (eg camera, GPS, address book,
etc.). In addition, a native approach provides
best security for a mobile application, best
performance, a high-sensitivity user interface,
and access to all native APIs. In other words,
the original investment may be higher, but a
company will save time and money because it
offers a great user experience and a stand-by
performance for the app. Each approach has its
advantages and disadvantages, but in the end, a
native approach will have the greatest advantages
for reingewinn the company.
