When deciding on which platform to build your app, serious consideration needs to be given to the audience and ecosystems to which applications lend themselves, plus the development varies depending on which products your application is suitable for.
Apple products are known for their high quality and immaculate performance, iOS has held a strong market share in terms of coverage and penetration since its launch into the app market on July 10, 2008. Apple iOS use their own native language 'SWIFT' which is easier to read and learn in comparison to Apple's earlier programming language Objective-C which makes building apps almost three times faster in 2022.
When considering your iOS app development, bear in mind that iOS has a tremendous advantage of being very simple and compatible with each subsequent upgrade, this instils peace of mind and consistency of performance without much change in interface design.
Let's also give careful consideration to other iOS attributes:



A Progressive Web App, or PWA for short, is a Web based app but performs like a Native app by combining the best of both worlds. They are also searchable via engines like Google so have huge SEO advantages
Native apps but ONLY for Googles Android users. The platform is free and offers easy availability of the Android SDK (software development kit). Being open source, development costs are lower than iOS
A Web app runs in a web browser and are delivered to users on the World Wide Web with active network connections. There is no need to install a Web app which also utilises SaaS (software as a service) technology
Native apps but ONLY for Apple iOS users. Easy to use with simple interfaces, plus, security is a top priority with high data encryption
Hybrid apps are built with web technologies (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) but allow access to platform features that a browser can’t provide. They are essentially Web apps but wrapped up to look like Native apps
Despite similarities in appearance and design, the underlying technologies are quite different from Web apps, PWAs, or Hybrid apps. Native apps are developed for specific operating systems, mainly Android & iOS so can't be accessed via an internet browser. Speed is key here! Native apps are traditionally very fast!
