Mobile Development

Native Development

Native development is when you develop for a specific devices and platforms

Ex: Iphones only, Androids only

Android: Kotlin (language) + Jetpack Compose (UI)

iOS: Swift + SwiftUI

Nonnative Development

Nonnative development lets you write 1 codebase for different devices and platforms

React Native (yes this is nonnative)

JavaScript/TypeScript 

or 

Flutter (framework) which uses Dart (language)

Native VS Nonnative

Native lets you work with device libraries easily (Ex: camera, sensors, etc)

Don’t need to make UI components from scratch

You are using the language, frameworks, and libraries that Google or Apple want you to use vs an intermediary codebase

Nonnative allows you to use it on all device types but has an intermediary, less featured codebase relative to native

You can’t publish on iOS without macOS (Apple computer)
