1.1. Types of Mobile Application Architectures

Types of Mobile Application Architectures

1.      Native Mobile App Architecture

Uses platform-specific programming languages and frameworks.

iOS: Swift, Objective-C

Android: Kotlin, Java

Pros: Best performance, better integration with device features.

Cons: Higher development cost and time.

2.      Hybrid Mobile App Architecture

Uses web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) wrapped in a native container.

Frameworks: Apache Cordova, Ionic

Pros: Faster development, cross-platform compatibility.

Cons: Performance issues, limited access to native features.

3.      Cross-Platform Mobile App Architecture

Allows development for multiple platforms using a single codebase.

Frameworks: React Native, Flutter, Xamarin

Pros: Faster development, cost-effective.

Cons: May lack native performance optimizations.
