Cross Platform Comparison with Rob Kerr

Guest

Why should companies go with a cross-platform solution?

  • Consistent User Experience (whether that's a good idea or not)
  • Synchronicity in Code Base
  • Budget - Use existing team expertise 

What are the differences between cross-platform solutions?

  • Web Based - Cordova, Ionic, PhoneGap
  • Bridging Solution - Flutter, React Native, NativeScript
  • Language Based - Xamarin - Use C# to Call Native API

What are the challenges with cross-platform solution?

  • Dependent on Vendor Support
    • Dev teams need to keep Cross-Platform Tooling up to date
  • Using a Specific API (Metal, HealthKit, etc…) 
    • May not be supported by Cross-Platform Tool
  • There may be instances such as UI - you want differences between devices
