Mobile Development Approaches:
Developers have some Flexibility in Choosing a Programming Language for Each of these three platforms, but platform is very closely associated with a Particular Programming Language.
In This case, the company that wants to target multiple platforms might very well employee three different programmer teams, each team skilled and specialized in a particular language and API. Now a days, It’s a Developer's Dream to write a Code that can runs on all the Platforms out there, Adapting and Adjusting to the platform's capabilities on the fly without intervention.
In Mobile Development, We have some Different Approaches to develop any mobile application, these approaches are..
Silo Approach:
Build Apps Multiple Times - This is the Oldest and Most Widespread Approach. The developer is using the Platform's Original technology stack: for IOS, for IOS, we are using IOS SDK and Objective-C, for Android: we are using Android SDK and Java, and for windows: we are using C#. in this way, our solution is Soiled from other Platforms, and in most cases we're hardly sharing any code.
Write Once, Run Anywhere Approach:
This is Probably the Second most popular approach. It leverages web Technologies in Building mobile apps, and there's no Shortage of Web Developers out there. Some of the most Popular technologies include Apache Cordova. The main Advantages are, code sharing and number of familiar web Languages out there to choose from.
Xamarin Approach:
This is Obviously our Favourite Approach When it comes to Cross-Platform Mobile Development. It's not because we're C# Experts. It's because of Xamarin, that covers the native definition. the native look-and-feel plus performant compiler-generated machine code, regardless of the chosen language or technology stack.
There are two More Main Approaches to Mobile UI Development using C#, Which we can Use Separately, Interchangeably, or in tandem:
