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.
