Introduction to creating mobile apps

Mobile devices have provided a revolution in the way we communicate and interact in society. Through the increasing advancement in the availability of Internet access, these devices have gained prominence in the daily lives of a large portion of the population. The universalization of technical standards and the expansion of content and access to the internet network intensifies, resulting in a significant increase in purchases of smartphones for connection. Until mid-2014, of the planet’s 7 billion inhabitants, just over 40% had access to the internet (WASHINGTON POST, 2014).

With this popularization, there was a large investment in improving devices and their functionalities. Promoted by a technology industry made up mainly of large manufacturers such as Samsumg, Apple, Google, Nokia and BackBerry, they have developed different operating systems focused on their own hardware. According to research by the StatCounter Global Stats foundation, the operating systems that have the majority of users are Android and iOS. 

We will present three technologies for creating mobile applications. The focus is on the development of native and hybrid applications, in addition to three specific technologies: React Native, Xamarin and Flutter.

React Native

• React Native is a popular technology for creating mobile apps.

• It uses a low-code approach, requiring less code to achieve functionality.

• React Native has extensive plugin support and can be easily integrated with third-party code.

• Supports Android and iOS platforms with a single code base.

Xamarin

• Xamarin is a framework for building mobile applications using .NET.

• It allows developers familiar with .NET to leverage their application development skills.

• Xamarin has a large community and offers strong community support.

• It provides excellent diagnostic capabilities to identify software issues and monitor performance.

Introduction to Qualusava and Swift technology

Qualusava technology and discusses its support. They recommend testing and exploring its features to see if it fits the context. Additionally, they briefly mention Swift technology.

Qualusava Technology

• Qualusava is a technology that supports the creation of applications.

• It is recommended to test it and try it in your specific context.

Swift Technology

• Swift is a technology used to create specific applications for Apple devices.

• It gained popularity in the market.

• One positive aspect of Swift is its widespread use in Apple’s app development community.

• An interesting advantage of Swift is that it no longer requires a Mac or MacBook device to program iOS applications. This made it more accessible to developers who don’t have Apple devices.

• Another notable feature of Swift is its emphasis on code readability and simplicity, making the software easier to understand and modify.

Benefits of Using Swift for Mobile App Development

Some advantages of using Swift for mobile application development, especially in the Apple ecosystem.

• Swift offers a secure coding environment with clean, readable code.

• For those interested in starting their journey into mobile app development, especially within the Apple ecosystem, Swift is an attractive option
