Getting Started with Cross-Platform App Development in 2019Image credit: Burst/ShopifyBy Reinder de Vries, founder of LearnAppMaking.comRemember Adobe Flash? It was the ultimate cross-platform development tool. Flash ran on any web browser or operating system — it could even run on early versions of Android. And then came HTML5, that did many of the things Flash could do…Cross-platform development has long been the holy grail of building software. Most cross-platform development tools promise you can build your codebase once, and then run the app on any platform. Why build natively for every different platform, if you can build it once and deploy on as many platforms as you want?You can see why this is so compelling. It saves you time and money getting your app to market, and you can cut (...)

The Only Time You Should Use Swift for iOS App Development is ALL THE TIME— Here’s Why!Old programming languages don’t die quickly, but the companies that cling on using them do.Whether you’re a startup, mobile app development agency or just an individual developer, if you’ve not investigated Swift yet, you should.The reason is because Swift not only has the potential to develop responsive, feature-rich iOS apps for years to come, but it has also already taken over Objective-C.A study by Upwork also revealed that Swift is one of the fastest growing skills for freelance developers, app development shops, and startups.In fact, Swift is already being used by tech giants including Hubspot, Lyft, Asana, Pandora, and 1,120 more companies.Thanks to several key features & benefits (which we will (...)

A journey from android development to iOS development in 2018 — The Bright ThingsBack in 2014 I started my career as android application developer, I worked on many projects including core android apps which required deep knowledge of android SDKs and also NDK. Other than that I also worked on IOT projects which included connecting with external and on-device sensors.I enjoy being challenged and engaging with projects that require me to work outside my comfort and knowledge set, therefore I started looking into iOS development later in 2017. Knowing the mobile eco-system, it wasn’t much difficult for me to getting along and thanks to the sister languages, kotlin and swift, there was almost zero effort to work on swift.TL;DRFrom Android to iOS development — highlighting the better thingsRoot (...)

It’s been an amazing year for Flutter.Roughly around this time last year, I wrote “Why Flutter Will Take Off in 2018”. While in beta for pretty much the entire 2018 and now at version 1.0, the Flutter community and product have grown tremendously, with Flutter now being in the top 20 repos on Github. Reflecting back on this article, it’s time for me to give an update on my experience with Flutter one year out, with all the pros and cons I’ve found along the way.How did I exactly did I “work with Flutter” in the past year? I’ve:Re-written an iOS app I’ve had in the App Store into Flutter.Developed a free crash course on Flutter, recording over 5 hours of instructional video content.A number of smaller, not yet published apps with Flutter.So before I list out my thoughts, note that my background, in (...)

The error that should have never been.In 2016, GitHub user Robert Roskam (raiderrobert) opened an issue on the React Native repository reporting the error “Setting onMessage on a WebView overrides existing values of window.postMessage, but a previous value was defined”. In the two years since then, nothing has been done to resolve it within the internal React Native implementation of WebView.The React Native community has forked WebView specifically to maintain it as a third party package and fix many of these ongoing issues. However, in order to implement these third party packages, you must be able to link React Native packages — react-native link #react-native-webview. If you are able and willing to do this, your problem is solved. The installation instructions for the community edition of (...)

Strengthen TLS in React Native Through Certificate Pinning — iOS EditionEnhance React Native’s networking API protection on Android and iOS without touching your Javascript code or manually editing the native code projects.The first edition of this article implemented TLS certificate pinning for React Native apps on Android. Since then, the #react-native-cert-pinner package has been enhanced to support pinning on iOS devices, and this edition of the post walks through the previous example for iOS.Beginning in July 2018 with the 68 release, Chrome began marking all sites not running HTTPS (TLS over HTTP) as “not secure”. TLS uses site certificates to establish a chain of trust and encrypt communication at the transport layer.SOURCE: Google Security BlogThis is a significant boost in networking, (...)

Nowadays, high-quality software consists of many factors like:MaintainabilityEfficiencyScalabilitySecurityUsabilityIn this story, I would like to focus on the last factor which is Usability. Let’s start with a definition, what is usability?Usability is the degree of ease with which products such as software and Web applications can be used to achieve required goals effectively and efficiently. Usability assesses the level of difficulty involved in using a user interface. (Retrieved from Techopedia)I strongly believe that a good UI/UX is a must-have in the modern software. No matter what kind of software you are developing, good design helps to attract users, to keep users using your app, to distinguish it from its competitors.

Developing a mobile app is not easy. A single mistake is enough to make sure the tonnes of coding generated after months of hard work becomes useless in no time. With the mobile app development market growing tenfold globally, more and more businesses have opted for a mobile app to boost their marketing tactics. Almost 3.8 million apps on Google Play Store, 2 million in the Apple App Store, 430k in the Amazon App Store, and 669k in the Windows Store are numbers good enough to prove the last statement. According to a report by Forrester, mobile-influenced offline spending had breached the $1 trillion mark by 2017 itself, which is why companies do not mind spending a hefty sum on getting a mobile app developed.With so much relying on the miniature looking mobile apps, a mistake from a (...)

How to build a location based app in React Native — Part 1I want to build a mobile app called Walkwaves for exploring the city. When I walk around London, I want the app to tell me what interesting buildings or monuments are nearby.London is such a historic city, I think it would be a really fun way to explore it. Ideally, I’d like to just have the app running in the background and tell me (via text to speech) when I’m near an interesting place.I’m writing this series of tutorials to show how I’m building this app and hopefully along the way, I can help you learn some React Native. I’m myself learning it as I build.I already know React, so the tutorials assume some basic knowledge of React.The whole app is quite complex, so I’m splitting it into many tutorials. In this first tutorial we’re just (...)

iOS Developers, this tutorial has the intention to make you forget building #ios apps that rely on a single storyboard.In the past few years, iOS projects (and mobile projects in general) contained no more than 10–15 screens in total. A single storyboard was definitely a good option since it could fit all screens and still have a clean wireframe that was understandable for future and current developers.But, these days a 10–15 screens project is counted as a small sized project. What happens is that most of the projects currently are containing 40+ screens. And this is where it becomes a real issue. You are working with a single storyboard, you add all the screens inside of it, and suddenly you start facing many performance issues and getting lost easily in the sea of controllers. Not to (...)
