Native App Development Basics

According to 2020 data from The International Data Corporation (IDC), the Android operating system (OS) dominated the market accounting for 84.1% of all smartphone shipments with forecasts of 85% by 2025. Meanwhile, iOS (Apple) accounted for 15.9%.

Since native apps do not rely on middleware like hybrid applications, they offer better performance. This is important for performance-centered apps like games. Developed with software development kits (SDKs), their interface is consistent with their platform. It ensures a better user experience compared to hybrid apps because there are no discrepancies between the operating system and the app design.
