Hybrid app development is the creation of a single app that can run on multiple operating systems including Windows, Android and iOS. When developers create hybrid software, they include a single code bar for all platforms. This means they only need to write the code once and then can run it anywhere.
Developers build hybrid apps using web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS and HTML. The code is then wrapped within a native application using open-source frameworks such as Ionic or React Native.
This allows the app to run through each platform’s embedded browser instead of the web browser, which means they can be installed on mobile devices and submitted to app stores for sale, just like regular native apps.
Moreover, using plugins will enable them full access to the device's hardware and features, such as GPS, camera or address book. The wrapper solutions also provide a suite of UI components to create a native interface.
