Datafloq AI Score: 84.33

Datafloq enables anyone to contribute articles, but we value high-quality content. This means that we do not accept SEO link building content, spammy articles, clickbait, articles written by bots and especially not misinformation. Therefore, we have developed an AI, built using multiple built open-source and proprietary tools to instantly define whether an article is written by a human or a bot and determine the level of bias, objectivity, whether it is fact-based or not, sentiment and overall quality.

Articles published on Datafloq need to have a minimum AI score of 60% and we provide this graph to give more detailed information on how we rate this article. Please note that this is a work in progress and if you have any suggestions, feel free to contact us.

Anyone familiar with the mobile app market will tell you that the competition is cut-throat. A business could have a high-quality offering along with a plethora of optimized features for its app and yet, the project could fail to make an impact unless backed by a suitable technology stack and a novel idea among other things.

Picking the right mobile technology stack is crucial to ensure the mobile application development project’s success since it not only galvanizes the project but also makes it easy to maintain and scale while ensuring it remains in sync with the business’ needs. In addition to that, the right technology stack also helps cut down costs and requires considerably less time when it comes to mobile app development. Moreover, that’s not all, a well-qualified technology stack for Java development can also influence the ease of future updates and releases for the company’s app.

Let’s review some technology stacks for mobile app development that have proven to be quite helpful for Java developers.

1. Native App Development: iOS Tech Stack

To develop an iOS app, one can go with either Objective-C or Swift. Objective-C, a superset of the C programming language, offers object-oriented abilities along with a dynamic runtime environment. On the other hand, Swift is more functional and provides code that is considerably less prone to errors.

If you pick Swift, you will need to use Apple Xcode as the toolkit. XCode’s full-featured development environment allows developers to build mobile apps as well as desktop applications and gets a graphical editor to create user instrumentation, debugging tools, and interfaces; integrated documentation; and built-in support for Git repositories.

For SDK, your choice is the iOS SDK, which gets an API that serves as a bridge between software applications and operating platforms.

2. Native App Development: Android Tech Stack

To build a native Android mobile app, you can choose between Java and Kotlin. While Java comes loaded with various open-source tools and libraries, Kotlin has established itself as a comparatively steady development option.

When it comes to the toolkit, you have Android Studio and Android Developer Tools as options. Android Studio offers debugging, code editing, performance tooling, and more. Whereas Android Developer Tools not only provides Android-specific coding support but also allows developers to leverage different on-device debugging tools.

Finally, developers need to download and install every SDK version for a specific smartphone. We must note that the different parts of Android SDK get downloaded individually.

3. Cross-Platform App Development Tech Stack

For Java developers, React Native, a JavaScript framework, is the ideal choice for creating mobile apps with a native look and feel, irrespective of the platform. React Native makes use of the same basic UI building blocks as regular Android and iOS apps. It also adds an innovative and exceptionally functional outlook to building user interfaces: With React Native, app logic is written and runs in JavaScript while the app UI is entirely native.

4. Hybrid App Development Tech Stack

Java developers who are looking to start a hybrid app development project can use Apache Cordova to operate JavaScript/HTML-based apps within a special native container on different mobile devices. JavaScript APIs exposes native device functionality, thus allowing HTML-based apps to access device-specific functionality such as cameras and sensors. Thankfully, developers don’t have to depend only just CSS and HTML to build the user interface — they have help in the form of PhoneGap, which offers support for a variety of frameworks and libraries.

To conclude, there are ample technology stack options for mobile apps. However, choosing the one most suited for your needs can be slightly tricky. So, ensure you have a robust plan and hire a Java programmer who can deliver a high-quality, fully functional app for your business.
