There was a time when developing an app for mobile users meant that you had to develop different applications for iOS and Android. If you wanted your app to be available on the web, you were out of luck. This traditional problem has been solved by cross-platform app development frameworks. These frameworks allow a single codebase to create apps that work on different devices, including iOS, Android and the web. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of using cross-platform app development frameworks and show you how to get started!
What is cross platform app development?
Cross-platform app development is just the process of writing code that works across multiple devices like iPhones, laptops and Android tablets.
The hardware and operating systems that run each of these devices expect software code to be written to a particular standard. And these standards are all different.
This might sound like an easy problem to fix, but before the development community turned their attention to building cross-platform frameworks, the code used to write an iOS app was pretty much useless if the app also needed to run on the web.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Problems with targeting a single device
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of „de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum“ (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, „Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..“, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
