WHAT MOBILE DEVELOPMENT IS
Mobile development or mobile application development is the development of applications that run mostly on smartphones or devices that are built with the Android and iOS operating systems. These applications are called Mobile Apps. The development of mobile apps is a little tedious as a long list of mobile screen sizes are considered during the development process.

TYPES OF MOBILE DEVELOPMENT
The two main types of mobile development are:
1. Native development &
2. Hybrid development

Native development simply means the development of a software than runs on a specific operating system. Officially, the native languages for Android are Kotlin and Java. The native languages for iOS are Swift and Objective-C.

Hybrid development means the development of a software that runs across all operating systems. Hybrid applications are developed in web development languages such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript and then converted to mobile apps using plugins such as Cordova or Capacitor.

NB: Hybrid Development is not the same as Cross-platform development.

CROSS-PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT
Similar to Hybrid Development, Cross-platform development also means the development of applications that run on all operating systems using the same codebase but are compiled to the native code or native components at runtime so that the app can exhibit maximal functionalities as that of a native app.
Examples of cross-platform development Frameworks are:
1. Flutter
2. React Native
3. Xamarin.

It is important to note that applications built in Native languages offer the best functionalities. The picture attached illustrates why you should use a particular development approach.
