Framework Choice Criteria for Mobile Application Development

Mobile applications development is complex. In order to build mobile apps that target all users, developers must put up with all the existing operating systems, software development kits (SDKs), devices various screen resolutions and existing mobile app development technology that is in constant evolution. And if this is not enough, developers must choose the right approach to build their app. Taking those decisions has a huge impact on the eventual cost, time, and success of an application building. In order of importance, it comes right after choosing the functionality of the app itself. If developers fail to match an app demands to the right development approach, it can turn their project into a certain failure. This paper aims to compare between the mobile app development approaches and suggest a decisional framework to choose between them.
