As it stands,most mobile devices use one of the two dominant operating systems Google-developed Android (48.3%) and the Apple-developed iOS (41%).With the rise of the smartphone, it’s apparent that we love apps. Google and Apple are dominant and this is not going to change.
Native App: This is platform (iOS, Android etc.) specific and requires unique expertise. However the full potential of the platform can be leveraged which will drive great user experience and larger app capabilities (especially around phone hardware). Can be pricey based on requirement and may take longer to develop.
Hybrid App: As the name suggests, that you can develop these type of app across multiple platform with same souce code and it is usually the cheaper and faster solution. Apache Cordova is an open-source mobile development framework. It allows you to use standard web technologies - HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development.
Apache cordova: Apache Cordova (formerly PhoneGap) is a popular mobile application development framework originally created by Nitobi. Adobe Systems purchased Nitobi in 2011, rebranded it as PhoneGap, and later released an open source version of the software called Apache Cordova. Apache Cordova enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using CSS3, HTML5, and JavaScript instead of relying on platform-specific APIs like those in Android, iOS, or Windows Phone. It enables wrapping up of CSS, HTML, and JavaScript code depending upon the platform of the device.
