Review on Mobile App Development: Tools and Techniques

In today's world, mobile phones play an important role in improving our lives. Various applications for mobile banking, travel ticket booking, and health monitoring are making life easier and more convenient. With the use of mobile phones and their applications, we have entered a digital age where almost everything is available at our fingertips. A major task for mobile app developers is to choose the correct tool for developing apps. There are three basic technologies i.e. Native, Web, and Hybrid for developing mobile apps. The choice of mobile app development tool or technology will depend on the specific needs of the project. Each approach has its strengths and weaknesses, and developers must consider factors such as budget, timeline, and performance requirements when selecting a development approach. The most outstanding performance and user experience are provided by native apps, but their development can be costly and time-consuming. Web applications are the least expensive and easiest to develop, but they may not offer the same level of performance or access to device features as native or hybrid apps. Hybrid apps offer an acceptablecompromise between performance and development costs. In this paper, we mainly focus on different mobile app development tools and techniques e.g. React Native, Flutter, Ionic, Xamarin, and programming languages used e.g. HTML, CSS, and J avaScript along with their applications and limitations. Apart from this, we have also done a comparative analysis of these tools and techniques and programming languages that are beneficial to developers and researchers working in the area of mobile app development.
