WHAT IS MOBILE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Mobile application development is the process of creating software applications that run on a mobile device, and a typical mobile application utilizes a network connection to work with remote computing resources. Hence, the mobile development process involves creating installable software bundles(code, binaries, assets, etc.) , implementing backend services such as data access with an API, and testing the application on target devices.

There are two dominant platforms in the modern smartphone market

One is the iOS platform from Apple Inc.

The iOS platform is the operating system that powers Apple's popular line of iPhone smartphones.
