While we appreciate innovation and technology, problems tend to swim all over it. No matter how advance and modern we become, something comes dragging the issues that hate to face. Just as I talk about the technology, it is way better than it was in 2000. The telephones changed into smartphones, the desktop became laptop, Modem became broadband, and we are on the verge of foldable and rollover television and smartphone. And that is not, vintage cars such as Morgan, Drophead, and chevy were the ones trending in the era of the 60s, now we have Aventador, Regera, SP720Spider, and many more.

But the issue or problems never left us. The problems stick to us just as a leech to blood. When it comes to website design & development or mobile application development, or any such time taking work that feeds the brain too much, we want it to finish it as soon as possible. But do we? No! Because there are various Operating Systems that need different coding and development for each one. Such as the Apple store won’t support the Android store applications or vice versa.

Isn’t that a problem? You just finished the whole development but have to sit and code it again but for a different platform? What a drag. Well, my fellow ones, this problem has been solved, fortunately.  This problem solving is known as Hybrid Application Development.

This problem was basically noticed by very few in the world of developers. And they built a solution. And the solution was-

Flutter

Flutter is an exceptional open-source UI software development toolkit created by Google. It is specifically utilized to develop cross-platform applications for Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, Windows, and all possible operating platforms.

Why Flutter?

Fast Development

With lightning performance, it has been winning the hearts of many developers. Whether it’s your library to teleport or your work elements, it does it in a fraction of a second.

Expressive and Flexible UI

Quickly ship features with a focus on native end-user experiences. The layered architecture allows for full customization, which results in incredibly fast rendering and expressive and flexible designs.

Native Performance

Flutter’s widgets incorporate all critical platform differences such as scrolling, navigation, icons, and fonts, and your Flutter code is compiled to native ARM machine code using Dart’s native compilers.

React Native

React Native is a complete open-source mobile application development framework brought by Facebook, Inc. It is mainly utilized to develop applications for Android, Android TV, iOS, macOS, tvOS, Web, Windows, and UWP by allowing developers to utilize React’s framework along with native platform capacities and capabilities.

Why React Native?

Written in JavaScript—rendered with native code

React primitives render to native platform UI, meaning your app uses the same native platform APIs other apps do.

Native Development For Everyone

React Native lets you create truly native apps and doesn’t compromise your users’ experiences. It provides a core set of platform-agnostic native components like View, Text, and Image that map directly to the platform’s native UI building blocks.

Seamless Cross-Platform

React components wrap existing native code and interact with native APIs via React’s declarative UI paradigm and JavaScript. This enables native app development for whole new teams of developers and can let existing native teams work much faster.

Fast Refresh

See your changes as soon as you save. With the power of JavaScript, React Native lets you iterate at lightning speed. No more waiting for native builds to finish. Save, see, repeat.

Xamarin

Xamarin is created by Microsoft and is a San Francisco-based software company founded in May 2011 by the developers that created Mono, Xamarin. Android and Xamarin. iOS, which are hybrid-platform implementations of the Common Language Infrastructure and Common Language Specifications.

Why Xamarin?

Native and performant

Xamarin apps are native apps! Whether you’re designing a uniform UI throughout the platform or building a native user interface, your apps will behave the way users expect.

With the ability to access the full spectrum of functionality exposed by the underlying platform and device, as well as leveraging platform-specific hardware acceleration, and Xamarin apps are compiled for native performance.

Cross-platform

Xamarin is part of the vibrant .NET ecosystem, used by millions of developers worldwide. Share more than 75% of your code throughout the platform, for “write once, run anywhere” ease.

Use your favorite frameworks, tools, and Xamarin’s powerful libraries to access native APIs and 2D graphics from shared code.

Build stunning cross-platform user interfaces

Ready to take code sharing to the next level? Xamarin. Forms is an open-source mobile UI framework from Microsoft for building iOS, Android, & Windows apps with .NET from a single shared codebase.

Whether you want a consistent look throughout the platform or prefer a native look and feel, Xamarin.Forms will get you up and running in no time.

Open-source and free

Xamarin is part of the open-source .NET platform that has a strong community of contributors from more than 3,700 companies

.NET is free, and that includes Xamarin. There are no fees or licensing costs, including for commercial use.

Ionic

Ionic is a total open-source SDK for hybrid mobile app development innovatively developed by Max Lynch, Ben Sperry, and Adam Bradley of Drifty Co. in 2013. The initial version was released in 2013 and built on top of AngularJS and Apache Cordova.

Ionic is built to perform and run fast on all of the latest mobile devices. Build blazing-fast apps with a small footprint and built-in best practices like hardware accelerated transitions, touch-optimized gestures, pre-rendering, and AOT compiling.

Why Ionic?

Pre-designed UI components

Ionic’s UI components look great on all mobile devices and platforms. Start with pre-made components, typography, and a base theme that adapts to each platform.

Write once, run anywhere

Ionic lets developers ship apps to the app stores and as a PWA with a single code base. With Adaptive Styling, apps look and feel at home on every platform.

Developer-friendly tooling

Create, build, test, and deploy your app with the Ionic CLI. Take advantage of Live Reload, deployments, integrations, and even use your favorite JS framework’s CLI.

Build with the tech you prefer

We don’t make assumptions about the tech stacks you or your team prefers to build with. That’s why Ionic is engineered to integrate seamlessly with all best frontend frameworks, including Angular, React, Vue, or even no framework at all with vanilla JavaScript.

Core native device functionality.

Access native device features with just a little bit of JavaScript. Choose from a rich library of over 120 native device plugins for accessing Camera, Geolocation, Bluetooth, and more, or dive into the full native SDK when you need it. There’s no limit to what you can build.

Corona SDK (Solar2D)

Solar2D is a free and open-source, cross-platform software development kit originally developed by Corona Labs Inc. As other cross-development tools it has been serving and helping the developers since 2009.

Corona is a cross-platform framework ideal for rapidly creating apps and games for mobile devices and desktop systems. That means you can create your project once and publish it to multiple types of devices, including Apple iPhone and iPad, Android phones and tablets, Amazon Fire, Mac Desktop, Windows Desktop, and even connected TVs such as Apple TV, Fire TV, and Android TV.

Why Corona SDK?

Lua-based

Lua is an open-source scripting language designed to be lightweight, fast, yet also powerful. Lua is currently the leading scripting language in games and has been utilized in Warcraft ™, Angry Birds ™, Civilization ™, and many other popular franchises.

Plugins for all needs

Select from numerous plugins which extend the Corona core for features like in-app advertising, analytics, media, and much more.

Call any native library

If it’s not already in the core or supported via a plugin, you can call any native (C/C++/Obj-C/Java) library or API using Corona.
