    What is Mobile Application Development?

    • Mobile app development is the creation of software applications that run on mobile devices (smartphones, tablets).
    • The software can be designed for different operating systems (Android, iOS).

    Types of Mobile Applications

    • Native Apps: specifically built for a specific OS (e.g., Android, iOS) using platform-specific languages.
    • Hybrid Apps: cross-platform apps developed with web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and frameworks (React Native, Ionic, Cordova).
    • Web Apps: accessed through mobile browsers (e.g., Progressive Web Apps, PWAs).

    Mobile Platforms

    • Android: Developed by Google, it's the most widely used mobile OS, written in Java, Kotlin, and C++. It has an open ecosystem.
    • iOS: Apple's proprietary OS for iPhones and iPads, known for its security, smooth user experience, and strict app store guidelines.
    • Other platforms (Windows Mobile, Blackberry) have become less common.
