The utilization of a scripting language primarily designed for front-end web development in conjunction with a mobile operating system developed by Apple Inc. allows developers to build applications that bridge the gap between web and native mobile experiences. For example, frameworks like React Native and NativeScript enable the creation of iOS applications using JavaScript, offering a cross-platform development approach.
This approach offers several advantages. It allows web developers to leverage their existing skillset to build mobile apps, reducing the learning curve and potentially accelerating development cycles. Moreover, code reuse across platforms can lead to significant cost savings. Historically, the separation between web and native app development required distinct skillsets and codebases, increasing project complexity and resource requirements.
