How to decrease mobile apps development time and improve their quality?
Development of mobile apps is not easy, especially that you need to cover at least two different platforms to access the significant part of the market. So you have to build not just one app, you need two.
With the traditional approach, it means you would need to hire or build at least two cross-competent teams. One that will take care of the iOS app and the other one taking care of the Android app.
The above can easily be a daily source of many difficulties. Same samples are:
- Increase of the total costs of the solution, since you need to hire twice as much people as for one project;
- Increased time to the market, since the same features have to be implemented twice, by two different teams;
- Additional resources needed to test the full apps on both platforms, moreover bugfixes also has to be done twice, including re-testing.
How about a solution:
- where you can have native Android and iOS applications with 50%-80% code shared,
- that can be easily built by a single team, using one of the most popular programming languages,
- that gives you the flexibility of choosing to have the same look & feel on both iOS and Android or taking benefits of the native controls and UI,
- that can be easily tested automatically using scalability of the cloud-based solutions?
Using Microsoft Xamarin to build your mobile app gives you all the benefits listed above. Unlike when using hybrid or responsive web solutions, your app can use all the natively available features and API that are exposed by the given platform.
All those benefits are particularly visible when building enterprise apps. Having synchronized versions between platforms, all the (quite frequently) complex business logic and integrations shared together with the ease of testing and beta deployments can boost your return on the investment.
