Native Apps

Developed for use on a particular platform or device

Coded in a specific programming language

Hybrid Apps

Hybrid Apps are like native apps, run on the device, and are written with web technologies (HTML5, CSS and JavaScript)

A web-to-native abstraction layer enables access to device capabilities that are not accessible in Mobile Web applications, such as the accelerometer, camera and local storage

Mobile Apps + Cloud

13

MAaaS are built, published and managed in the cloud. The deliverable might be a native or HTML5 web app, but the process of creating and deploying the app is the same

The app is packaged for the target destination by the platform either as completely native code or, in some cases, using a hybrid wrapper (like PhoneGap creates)

Eg:

Appery.io - cloud-based HTML5, jQuery Mobile and Hybrid Mobile App Builder

Codiqa - cloud based platform builds your App with 100% HTML5 components

Conduit - build stunning app designs quick and easy — no coding, one click and it’s ready!

Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaaS)

Need of sharing of some common services among mobile apps

Push notifications, file storage and sharing, integration with social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, location services, messaging and chat functions

Exposing REST APIs

Eg:
