Our goal at Trailhead Technology Partners is to make your life easier with custom mobile app development. Mobile technology is constantly enhancing our ability to do even more for you and your team.
Mobile apps that are most useful and provide end users with the best possible experiences have more going on behind the scenes than people realize. To build your custom apps and software for mobile devices, Trailhead Technology trusts and uses a variety of tools and platform
Apple’s iOS is the second-most widely installed mobile operating system in the world and applications are mainly built using elements of the UIKit programming framework. UIKit offers customization, while also keeping the consistent look and feel of iOS. We write the code for these apps in the iOS Software Development Kit (SDK) with supported programming languages like Objective-C and Swift.
Between being the world’s most widely installed mobile operating system and its openness to developers and designers, Android offers almost limitless possibilities. Android Studio features a build system that allows our developers to customize builds and generate multiple variants for different devices within a single project. The Android operating system has a well-deserved reputation for enabling development teams to work faster, write better code (in Kotlin, Java, and C/C++ languages), and be more productive.
This open-source platform is highly flexible and allows our team to build modern and performant applications for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows. Xamarin is now called .NET MAUI, and it is an abstraction layer that manages communication of shared code with underlying platform code.
Ionic is an open-source framework for building cross-platform mobile applications using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It offers a significant advantage in that it allows developers to create one codebase that can be deployed on multiple platforms, including iOS and Android, saving time and effort compared to developing separate native apps for each platform.
Flutter enables our developers to build mobile apps that can deploy to multiple devices from a single codebase. Powered by Dart, Flutter code compiles to JavaScript, ARM, and Intel machine code so apps have fast performance on any device. We can use the platform to update code and see changes almost instantly, without having to worry about losing state.
At Trailhead, we leverage React Native to streamline mobile app development using the most common web technologies. This allows us to maintain a unified codebase for both iOS and Android, ensuring efficient development, quicker iterations, and cost-effectiveness, all while delivering a high-quality user experience across platforms.
Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) created by Microsoft that provides a comprehensive set of tools for software development across various platforms. Specifically for mobile development, Visual Studio offers robust support for creating applications for iOS and Android, with features like code debugging, emulators, and seamless integration with popular frameworks like .NET MAUI (formerly Xamarin), allowing developers to efficiently build, test, and deploy mobile apps.
Mobile app development on native platforms requires native SDK to give complete access to APIs for hardware and OS features, as well as emulator-like tools. Each platform has specific IDE along with development languages and third party supports. .NET MAUI, for example, is C#-based cross-platform that uses Microsoft technologies and tools. C# is ideal language for cross-platform app development because the interface is flexible and adaptive.
When our goal is to build native, cross-platform (iOS, Android, Windows for both phones and tablets) mobile apps, we use Xamarin and Windows Universal Applications. Our developers also utilize tools like Visual Studio, C#, and Xamarin Studio. This enables faster development, better maintenance, and applications that have completely native performance and look and feel. And we can always tap into our expertise in offline mobile apps with local storage, GPS tracking, push notifications and dynamic mobile surveys while developing your custom mobile apps.
Mobile app development, as an entire process, consists of creating, designing, and launching software applications capable of running on mobile devices. This involves creating installable software bundles, implementing backend services, and debugging them. Thanks to Agile methodology, our team is able to debug throughout the entire process, which helps to reduce the amount of development time and provides greater assurance that you are delivered a secure, high-quality product.
