Web view applications allow the developer to create two identical applications for both android and iOS by using just one single codebase, which means a significant reduction of development costs.
ate these applications, while Flutter uses Dart. NativeScript gives the developer an option to use either VueJS, JavaScript or Angular to create the application.
So, when comparing these two hybrid development types, it is clear that they each offer a different set of advantages and disadvantages. Web view applications allow the developer to create two identical applications for both android and iOS by using just one single codebase, which means a significant reduction of development costs. At the same time, one must contend with issues that stem from both native systems and hybrid systems, which makes bug fixing more challenging. Performance is also at a disadvantage because hybrid apps load in a web view. “Native” hybrid apps also give you the advantage of having a single code base for applications and since they do not run on a web view, performance improvements are notable. However, as the application is closer to native applications, issues with different platforms may require some development changes to be made so that a particular platform is directly targeted.
When looking into having a hybrid mobile application developed, one must take into consideration these changes, while also keeping in mind the requirements and the target audience of the application. Each type of app has both strong and weak elements that can affect the framework and development type chosen.
