When you're embarking on native mobile app development and have an app idea, you first need to decide whether you want to work with a mobile app development company or handle the full native mobile app development in-house. Hiring one in-house app developer, or having a small mobile development team may work if you're building a very simple MVP, but it's surprisingly often more cost-effective to work with an offshore mobile app development company like Startechup.
Next, you need to ensure that your app idea aligns with your plans for business growth. It's important to define the definition of success for your mobile development project, so you can track its ROI for your business.
With your app concept in place, you need to make the decision between building native or hybrid app development (also known as cross-platform app development). A native mobile application is an app built for a specific operating system. Native apps include Android apps, built for Android devices, as well as iOS apps, built for the iOS platform. In contrast, cross-platform apps and hybrid apps work on both iOS and Android.
At Startechup, we can help you understand if native development (like Android development and other native software development) is right for your business. Then, we help you choose the right technologies and programming languages for native development. It's a very competitive market, so choosing the right tech stack for native applications is essential.
After validating your technical requirements with your tech stack, UI and UX designers get to work creating a lifelike prototype of your native mobile application. Once this is signed off on, app developers can begin the development process. Then, you need to QA app test your native mobile applications, before launching them on app stores, like the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
