Local versus Hybrid Apps. What to pick in 2018

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
6
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.
