In the world of mobile app development, there is a wide range of programming languages to choose from. Android utilizes Kotlin, while Apple relies on Swift. Additionally, there are cross-platform tools based on C# or JavaScript. Selecting the right technology can sometimes be challenging, but we're here to assist you in making the right decision.
When defining the requirements and goals of your application, it's crucial to choose a suitable programming technology. If your app requires specific hardware features, such as an external barcode reader connected to the phone, native development may be preferable - Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS. However, this means developing two separate applications, which can increase costs and development time.
If your app does not require highly specific functionalities, we often recommend development in a cross-platform language like Dart with the Flutter framework. This approach results in a single source code that can serve both iOS and Android platforms, leading to faster development, lower costs, and more cost-effective maintenance.
While developing a cross-platform application, it's important to remember that code optimized for mobile apps may not always be ideal for web environments. For web applications, it's best to use technologies optimized specifically for the web.
