How to develop the app both for iOS/Android ?
There are 2 options:
• Develop for both separately with different languages ( Objective-C / Java )
• Use cross-platform development environment and develop for both platform at once

Cross-Platform development environments
![Page 5: Cross-platform development on mobile devices](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/554ef955b4c90547648b4aeb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Are cross-platform dev denelopment envivonments workable ?
• Not good at least now• It’s ok for simple apps
Business Apps
• Not so badGames

Most important thing is…
To know the characteristics of each environment
Native Layer
Cross-platformEnvironment layer
Your code
Erase the differenceBut limit the capability sometimes

Business Apps• Pros
• Write once, run on both devices• No need to pass Apple’s review
• Cons• UI of both environments are totally different• Really slow
![Page 8: Cross-platform development on mobile devices](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/554ef955b4c90547648b4aeb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
UI of both environments are different• Android have “hardware back key” and “Menu”• Positions of Tab Bar are different• Android devices have so many aspect ratios and screen
sizes.• You have to care about such differences in your code
![Page 9: Cross-platform development on mobile devices](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/554ef955b4c90547648b4aeb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Difficult to catch up with interface trends.
• Pull to refresh• Side menu

UIWebView based application for iOS
Really Slow
![Page 11: Cross-platform development on mobile devices](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/554ef955b4c90547648b4aeb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why ?• Apple doesn’t allow to use JIT strategy

Chrome iOS version is SLOW

Facebook Application for iOS

Facebook will return to native

Game• Pros
• Write once, run on both devices• No need to pass Apple’s review
• Cons• UI of both environments are totally different• Really slow• Use JavaScript
![Page 16: Cross-platform development on mobile devices](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/554ef955b4c90547648b4aeb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
User Interface• You don’t need to use native-like user interface
![Page 17: Cross-platform development on mobile devices](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/554ef955b4c90547648b4aeb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Speed• Compiling code to native ( Unity )• Preparing alternative Canvas ( appMobi )• Use OpenGL directly ( ngCore )
![Page 18: Cross-platform development on mobile devices](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/554ef955b4c90547648b4aeb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
JavaScript• JavaScript for mobile application is totally different from
web app’s one ( such as using jQuery ).• JavaScript is not suitable for large scale development.
• Because it is difficult to find a bug.

But if you want to use JavaScript still…

Closure Compiler• Google’s answer for large scale JavaScript development• It optimizes the code and finds error in code.

JSX• a faster, safer, easier alternative to JavaScript• JSX compilers compiles JSX code into JavaScript
interface Flyable {abstract function fly() : void;
}
abstract class Animal {function eat() : void {
log "An animal is eating!”;}
}
class Bat extends Animal implements Flyable {override function fly() : void {
log "A bat is flying!”;}
}

JSX
we are observing 4% to 27% increase in performance

Arctic.js• Game engine for smartphone web browsers written in
JavaScript with HTML5 Canvas.• It provides ActionScript3 friendly APIs which Flash
developers are familiar to.
var keyFrame = new arc.anim.KeyFrameAnimation(12, 5, [new arc.anim.Timeline(this._yellowImg, {
1 : {visible:true},3 : {visible:false}
}),new arc.anim.Timeline(this._orangeImg, {
