Cross-Platform Compatibility to Analyze Behavior of Hybrid Mobile Application Framework

One of the most intriguing challenges in mobile application development is its fragmentation with respect to mobile platforms (e.g., Android, Apple IOS, and Windows Phone). Mobile is an integral part of daily life. With time, customers are expecting good and very versatile applications in less time. There are different number of mobile apps investigated, in this research our aim at identifying, analyzing and understanding the features and distinctions of publicly available hybrid mobile apps within their real-life context. One of the main focuses of the comparison is to provide an overview on the availability of application programming interfaces, programming languages, supported mobile operating systems, licenses and integrated development environments. Furthermore, it also presents some critical points such as the factor of extensibility in tools and the effects that they may bring on market share. The comparison is aimed at supporting developers to make the right choice with respect to their needs or constraints.
