Key Concepts
Native vs Cross-Platform
| Aspect | Native | Cross-Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Optimal | Good (overhead) |
| Platform APIs | Full access | Limited/wrapped |
| Development speed | Slower | Faster |
| Code sharing | None | High |
| UI consistency | Platform-native | Custom/framework |
Native Development Paths
iOS Native:
- Language: Swift, Objective-C
- UI: SwiftUI, UIKit
- IDE: Xcode
Android Native:
- Language: Kotlin, Java
- UI: Jetpack Compose, XML
- IDE: Android Studio
When to Choose Native
- Performance-critical applications
- Full hardware access required
- Long-term, flagship products
- Teams with platform expertise
- Complex platform integrations
