Should You Learn Native or Cross-Platform Mobile Development?

[@talhayousaf3918]

I'm React Native developer having 1.5 years of experience and recently I'm working on a project which end up a very tricky with the RN because of the performance issues especially on android while working on debug apk (Runs much better on release one). I did all the possibility optimizations as I could but still it lacks performance. After going hard through this I realise that Its very important to have atleast one Native platform experience and how much important the native development is when performance it comes to performance.

[@alpedistas1]

I consider the optimal of knowing android studio and react native, to be honest developing in swift is just not worth my time learning.

[@alejandro.p]

I personally think Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile looks very promising. It may be the future of enterprise level applications.

Hey bud, im not a full time android developer (I'm a django guy), but I would say the future for kotlin in general is an amazing. I do web so I've looked into ktor and such, and I'd say it's amazing.

My man Kenny!. Seeing you after a long time... Good to have you back. I'm a mobile developer now in RN. Last time we met, i was in web dev

[@daniel1fullerton]

i am building an app project using react native, and i recently started outsourcing with upwork, worked with a couple of freelance developers, right now i have a developer that i work with consistently

[@umarajmal6216]

how long does it take to you to learn reactnative

[@daniel1fullerton]

@@umarajmal6216 well I'm no where near an expert, but you could learn enough to build the basic stuff within a year

[@AThingOrTwoU]

@@umarajmal6216 Hi, it depends on several factors. I have 14 years mostly Java backend dev experience. Now it happened to have some time (like 4 weeks, 4-5 hours a day, during weekdays). I learnt some basic React first on Udemy (1 week), then basic React Native on Udemy again (1 week), then I started my own app, what I planned and design myself. Only with basic, first version features. Now it is almost ready (2 weeks). I used the 80/20 principle strictly on the amount of learning material and features to include in my app. I also used ChatGPT heavily, but avoid to generate everything. I am not a genius, I just started to like mobil dev things. In the and I realised how cooler is IOS stack: simpler, more sophisticated and focused. From this point I wish I would have used my time to IOS stack :) But again, it depends on a lot of things which is better for U. I just don't like your stack has not built in stuff (like swipe and orderable lists!) in cross platform, U have to use libraries which could be not updated, not perfectly working, etc :) I hope I helped to anybody. :) I see the posts are quite old. By the way, if anybody like to learn React Native, it is good to check out Expo! Cheers

[@MrUploader14]

I would say native is the way to go since most software companies do native apps. Multiple platform development may be the future but they are still relatively new tools. It's good to know but start with the basics.

[@JediMasterT]

Hello sir, full time full stack dev, I've dabbled in android dev for schooling purposes only but I feel like I could build a decent CRUD app fairly easily, thank you for the no BS input for solving my cross platform vs native debate in my head lol. I appreciate your time.

[@d.e8282]

Thank you dude for the informative content as always. I am looking forward to choose the path of a programmer (im having a passion for informatics and mathematics too) and right now I'm in the phase in which I am discovering and documenting about all kind of stuff related to this career and not only (I like seeing different perspectives over the various subjects) as a hobby and this is one of my favourite channels about it.

So weird that you mentioned that idea about a bluetooth device that tracks vitals as an example for when to use native instead of cross platform since the first project I was involved in as a Swift developer (coming from a Flutter/Node background) was basically just that, except that the device only focused on Pulmonary Functions, lol. Great video as always btw, just wanted to share that random story.

[@Khushal_Singh_Rathore]

I am a flutter developer, also got a job as a fresher in it but now I want to learn other mobile technologies also what should I learn considering today's market, react native, android or native ios, Ios development is taking my interest because it is niche but please tell me with your experience should I go for it, the thing us that there are less opportunities in India for native ios developers.

[@fnfal113]

If you're a web developer with prior experience with react web, then you will surely enjoy going react native as it makes your life easier than learning a new language for the same purpose, performance has gone too far for react now and should not even be compared unless you are really developing a big and complex app it is better to go native

Hello connections. I am posting this to clarify few things about App & Software Development. I have few questions regarding the same - Scenario: I'll be learning App development using Flutter & Java (software Android Studio & VS code) 1. What are the Frontend Technologies that are used ? I mean in Web page designing we use HTML, CSS, JS for designing. I have no idea how App development works 2. What are the technologies used for Security purpose of the app ? 3. What are the technologies used as Backend ? 4. What is client-side and server-side aspects of a software ? I have little bit idea regarding the same, but I have no insights of how to proceed step by step building a cross-platform app. Thank you in advance...

[@Necheogbucyber]

For back end u use node js

[@shail0124]

one more problem with cross platform other than performance is that they are resource hungry. They will eat too much RAM which will effect performance of whole device

[@bigfoot131]

This is my take. Learn one native then choose one multiplat.

You can pick any from udemy with good ratings. But be careful ! No course will going to make you a top tier android developer as they mentioned in their courses. You will learn the basics out of it an then try to develop on your own out of that knowledge.

​​@@code.withdimpu if you already gone too far with react native i think you will eassier to learn flutter than native. Then again Native still superior in any way. Focus only in one OS but having good performance, or Multi-platform but having more issue.

It only require 4 classes, which include: 1) survey of computer information systems 2) Object oriented programming fundamentals 3) Introduction to IOS Application Development 4) Advanced iOS Application Development If I was to achieve this, do you think it would be enough to land me an entry level position? or would i be dismissed since i don't have a degree?

if a person who is begginer in this mobile app development which thing first we learn cross platform would be better for beginners or native development ?

Go for native. Its easier, less buggy, and good performance. And if you want to choose between Android or iOS, go for Android first since its the most used phone in the world and also free dev software while iOS require you to buy Mac to use their dev software.

Thanks a lot for your effort, I'm asking if it possible to learn both in the same time or its better to deep into native to learn the fundamentals of programming beforehand and then it would be better to learn cross-platform ,another one please if i one year is far enough to find first job in this field ,thanks in advance

[@talhayousaf3918]

I think You have to learn a fundamentals of programming not based on any tool and technology. You can learn it through Java kotlin or swift . Like arrays Variables loops condition, classes and all other oop stuff. And then move to the other things.

[@mustafahany8693]

thank you can you recommend free courses for dart/flutter and react-native integration with WordPress?

[@OzzyTheGiant]

My suggestion is, DON'T. I know this is a strong opinion, but in my professional experience, Wordpress is just not suitable for web applications. Those that use it with things like E-Commerce generally do it to cut costs but ultimately have a bad time with maintenance and performance. If you wish to integrate a mobile app with a CMS, my approach is to use a Headless CMS, like Directus or Strapi. Those platforms are more developer oriented and organize your data they way it's meant to be used in a web application. Then you couple that CMS with your own custom front end, like a static site generator (Gridsome and Gatsby are some good choices). The way data is transferred between the two is that the CMS provides your content as a JSON API. Your front end will fetch that data and generate a site using whatever components/pages you built and you can just serve that static site. Using your CMS as an API will then allow you to build a mobile app that can fetch this data to display or process on your apps.

[@mikelovesbacon]

Java is cross-platform already. You may need to make a few platform-specific tweaks for your app, but mostly you write code which is complied into Java Bytecode and runs on the JVM. Each platform has its own JVM created by Oracle. There is no JVM for iOS though.

React Native dev from a mostly web dev background here, I think that's definitely fine. The only times I ever have to go down to the native level is for super niche stuff like using onboard phone sensors or cameras. Also if you can handle java then Swift should be no problem 🤙
