What is a MAF?
• Mobile apps are proven to be the perfect tactic for businesses to strengthen
their user base. And there is never a shortage of unique app ideas.
• Developing an app doesn’t require you to learn complex programming
languages.
• All you need is the right mobile app framework and a clear understanding of
web-based languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• A mobile app framework is an app development platform that contains many
components like toolsets, compilers, debuggers, coding interfaces, and so on.
• So a developer writes the source code for the app, and then the framework
renders the app for the desired mobile platforms by using different components.
Types of Mobile Frameworks
• There are many mobile platforms out there, such as Android, iOS, and Windows.
• There are different forms of apps as well.
• We’re not talking about app categories such as shopping apps or gaming apps.
• But in terms of how the apps function in a device.
• So that way, Mobile apps can be classified into three forms.
• 1. Native Apps
• Developed for specific platforms like Android, iOS, and Windows. Apps utilize device
features like RAM, camera, GPS, etc.
• 2. Web Apps
• Functions via browser interfaces
• 3. Hybrid Apps
• The combination of both native and web apps
• These apps are generally developed using the following frameworks.
• Native app framework
• Hybrid app framework
• Native apps are arguably the best quality apps in terms of their aesthetic
and functional aspects.
• But native app development is comparatively costly.
• And the diversity of devices and platforms can be a challenge in ensuring
the maximum user penetration.
• So when budget constraints and the maximum number of users are the
objectives, a mobile app development company sometimes opt for hybrid
app development tools or cross-platform app development tools.
Examples of Popular MAFs
• React Native Framework • Sencha Ext JS Framework
• Framework7 Framework • Apache Cordova Framework (PhoneGap)
• Flutter Framework • Onsen UI Framework
• NativeScript Framework • Corona SDK Framework
• Meteor Framework • Monaca Framework
• JQuery Framework • Mobile Angular UI Framework
• CocoaTouch Framework • Appcelerator Titanium Framework
• Xamarin Framework • Uno Framework
• Swiftic Framework • Ktor Framework
• Ionic Framework • Aurelia Framework

characteristics, namely:

Conclusion
• Determining which framework to use for mobile app development is a critical and
vital step that involves seeing a large figure of variables.
• The most significant variables of mobile app development comprise the end-goal of
the mobile app along with its necessities and important challenges, the most
noteworthy advantages of the selected mobile app framework, and how those
benefits line up with the essential factors of the mobile application itself, such as
its speed, security, performance, scalability, etc.
• The selection process itself is a key step in mobile app development and will help
shape the way the mobile app is developed and functions.
• If you are still confused about which framework is best suited for your business,
don’t hesitate to take help from any reputed mobile application development
company.
• Eventually, your choices will decide how the app affects your company’s end-result.
