Multi-Platform App Development

Apps, Users & Platforms.

Before deciding which platforms to target you need to understand your App,Users and the Platforms. You must:

Clearly define your app &

  • it’s purpose
  • the user experience (UX)

Know your user &

  • who they are
  • the devices they use
  • how they use their devices

Understand the app platforms &

  • the supported devices
  • the marketshare & demographics
  • the user experience (UX)
  • the AppStores / Markets

 

 

What is multi-platform app development?

Also referred to as Cross-Platform, it is the development of apps using common code bases to deploy to multiple platforms.

Developer tooks & SDKs like Adobe AIR, Titanium Appcelerator & PhoneGap can be used to develop the app using a common code base and compile to run as a native app.

Why take this approach?

  • Increase your user base by supporting more platforms
  • Reduce development time & cost
  • Reduce maintenance costs
  • Reduce the risk of competitors cloning your app on other platforms
  • Because users are now found across multiple platforms and many devices
