Universal Mobile Application Development—New Rays of Hopes
Summary
At present, we are living in mobile era where tons of mobile platforms are competing and adding new OSes as well as mobile hardware in already fragmented market. Therefore, getting some common approaches to create universal mobile development platform for all fragmented platform and combine them in one OS or system is essential step to perform wide range of field operations.
Introduction
Today mobiles are in-things, in all cultures and countries of the mother earth, and people like to use these devices as their mini computers in day-to-day life. Today market is flooding with various handheld devices running on different OSes because we are living in somewhat primitive smartphone eras where fragmentation is a rule rather than the expectations.
For instance, majority of affluent class of advanced countries are using iPhone and iPad as their choices for handheld device. Whereas, huge adaptability of Android devices and its OSes are the matters that none can avoid at any cost. If I say broadly, we have some more than ten brands or platforms used by the majority of populations around the globe.
Unfortunately, all such platforms are running with their own operating systems with their own native codes. Therefore, entire mobile application development community has a big question that how to deal with fragmentations of OSes effectively. Some smart mobile developers have find out the ways where web access is common among the all operations through mobiles. They have taken help of XML technologies to mitigate the OSes related issues.
Now, we have technologies that can efficiently manage such platform differences like XML for application controls whereas web apps of various mobile platforms where the most common web technologies are the ultimate solutions like HTML, CSS, advance JavaScript and some jQuery. If I am going to define them clearly, we can termed them as cross-platform mobile app development or mobile web apps programming in some simple trems.
Now, let’s have technical insight-out of the Universal Mobile Application Development (UMAD). As stated earlier we have more than one operating system as well as fragmentations for the OS versions at hardware counterparts where different version management is tedious due to the client side installations. Managing mobile applications at client side is a daunting task. Therefore, we need some universal solutions, which should have server like central system to assist each device takes part in the system. Thus, mobile developers have to think of only server and some minor issues at various clients.
In short, the above restrictions mitigate the growth of mobile platform for wide range of operations covering wide areas.
