A software application, built using a cross-platform framework, is specifically designed to function on Apple’s mobile operating system. This framework allows developers to write code once and deploy it across both iOS and Android platforms, reducing development time and resources. For instance, a mobile game or a productivity tool can be created using this approach, ensuring compatibility with iPhones and iPads.
The development of such applications offers significant advantages, including cost-effectiveness and a wider potential audience reach. Historically, native iOS apps required specialized knowledge of Swift or Objective-C. This framework streamlines the process, enabling web developers familiar with JavaScript to contribute to mobile app development. This broadens the talent pool and accelerates the creation of mobile solutions.
