Native app development involves creating applications specifically designed to run on a particular operating system or device, such as iOS or Android. These apps are built using the platform’s native programming languages—Swift or Objective-C for iOS, and Java or Kotlin for Android—and take full advantage of the device’s hardware and software capabilities. Native apps are known for their high performance, responsiveness, and seamless integration with the device’s features, such as the camera, GPS, and sensors.

One of the main advantages of native app development is the ability to deliver a superior user experience by utilizing platform-specific design patterns and optimizing the app for the operating system’s performance characteristics. However, developing native apps for multiple platforms can be resource-intensive, as it requires separate codebases for each platform. Despite this, the investment in native development often pays off in terms of better app performance, user satisfaction, and access to the latest platform features.
