Mobile application development of mobile applications is a fast growing as well as challenging field because of many diverse platforms and their software development kits. In a bid to ease the cost of software development and reach out to many users across several platforms, developers are preferring to use cross platform application development tools. This paper, looks at several write-once-run-anywhere tools like HTML 5, Codename One, Xamarian and Apache Cordova. It looks at their requirements, strengths and weaknesses. A comparative analysis is done on the available cross platform mobile application tools on the market together with a discussion on the general architecture for cross platform application development. This paper also looks at the possible future of mobile application development. Keywords-Android, Xamarian, Codename One, HTML 5, Cordova, Phone gap, Mobile development, cross platforms

Mobile applications for smartphones and other devices are having a widespread impact in many sectors of society. Mobile applications can be broadly classified into three categories namely native, mobile-web and Hybrid applications. A wide range of tools and Software Development Kits (SDKs) are available to develop these applications. Apart from native SDK‟s and tools available for some of the main mobile operating systems (Android, iOS, etc), there are many open source SDK‟s and tools that allow the development of cross-platform applications in which the developed code can run with little or no change in more than one mobile OS. In native mobile application development, programming languages such as Java (for Android) or Objective C (for iOS) have to be used to develop both the user interface and logic for the applications. Cross-platform application development involves using HTML5, JavaScript and open source libraries such as jQuery or jQtouch. Thus, web designers and developers can use a great part of their skills to develop mobile applications. In this report we discuss the features, differences and capabilities of various cross-platform SDK‟s available and few examples of how to develop a cross-platform mobile application.

The purpose of this study is to report on the industry’s perspectives and opinions on cross-platform mobile development, with an emphasis on the popularity, adoption, and arising issues related to the use of technical development frameworks and tools. We designed and conducted an online survey questionnaire, for which 101 participants were recruited from various developer-oriented online forums and websites. A total of five questions are reported in this study, of which two employed a Likert scale instrument, while three were based on multiple choice. In terms of technical frameworks, we find that PhoneGap, the Ionic Framework, and React Native were the most popular in use, both in hobby projects and in professional settings. The participants report an awareness of trade-offs when embracing cross-platform technologies and consider penalties in performance and user experience to be expected. This is also in line with what is reported in academic research. We find patterns in the repo...

The rapid growth of mobile usage in the world has created many opportunities to leverage the ubiquity of mobile network. Mobile applications have gained momentum in many sectors including agriculture. However, development of mobile apps is still facing many challenges, including platform fragmentation and rapid changes of the mobile technology. It hence has a great benefit to identify common frameworks and solutions that allow developers to leverage a single codebase and deploy it on multiple platforms, both on different mobile devices and mobile web. This paper explores current mobile technologies and design options of mobile databases to develop cross-platform mobile apps. Discussions are made using the proposed framework for a mobile project named Southeast Landscape Pests developed at University of Florida/IFAS. The project leverages cross-platform technologies and JSON as an alternative for database storage. The solution is a cost effective approach to deploy apps to iOS, Android and Web and could be adopted for other small size mobile projects.
