Various technologies and tools are used to create smartphone applications. In this article, we will discuss the latest technologies and tools of 2025 that are used in smartphone application development.
📱 How are smartphone applications created?
There are mainly three methods used to create smartphone applications:
-
Native applications : are built using a different codebase for each platform. For example, Kotlin or Java for Android and Swift or Objective-C for iOS.
-
Cross-platform applications : Apps are built on multiple platforms using a single codebase. For example, Flutter, React Native, Ionic.
-
No-code or low-code platforms : Those who don't know coding can easily create apps. For example, Meet App Inventor, Buildfire.
