One of the primary decisions in mobile app development is whether to build a native, hybrid, or web app. Native apps are developed specifically for a particular operating system, such as iOS or Android, and offer the best performance and user experience. Hybrid apps, on the other hand, are built using web technologies (like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) and can run on multiple platforms with a single codebase. Web apps are accessed via a browser and don’t require installation, but they may not have the same functionality or performance as native apps.
