Earlier, every developer did mobile application development directly using the Software Development Kit (SDK) given by the specific mobile platform. For example, Android SDK has all the required Java API for Android application development. On the other hand, iOS SDK has all the required Swift/Objective C APIs for iOS application development. Therefore, both popular mobile platforms have two totally different SDKs. This situation created a critical problem from the business perspective of mobile application development. Businesses had to maintain two codebases for each mobile platform. In most of the scenarios, they had to look after two development teams.

Cross-platform mobile application development frameworks came as a solution for this business problem. All of them tried to introduce an abstraction level over platform-specific APIs. Some frameworks used webview for abstraction. Some frameworks came with their own graphics libraries. If you are planning to make a cross-platform mobile application, there are several choices out there. We need to carefully select a framework because your mobile application’s success depends on your current decision.
