Analysis of Cross-Platform Mobile App Development Tools

With the emergence of different cross-platform alternatives, there is a need to explore the various approaches the developer must take. We perform this study in the hopes of shedding more light on their differences and highlighting the critical aspects which make them unique. The examination of these WORA (Write Once, Run Anywhere) mobile App tools is done on the basis of different approaches, i.e., Native apps, Web apps, Hybrid apps, Interpreted apps and Widget-based apps. The study performed shall enable us to illustrate the results on the basis of these categories.
