Desenvolvimento de aplicativos móveis: o mercado das aplicações nativas e híbridas

Abstract

The development of mobile applications is currently divided into native applications, whose construction uses a specific language for a given operating system, such as Android and iOS, or hybrid applications, which work through frameworks in the creation of applications. cross-platform, that is, they can be used on more than one operating system. The exponential growth in the use of cell phones in the last decade has driven an industry of increasingly faster devices and with different technologies, so the general objective of this work is to research the changes that have occurred in recent years, after the emergence of the pandemic, in the development market. mobile in relation to the pre-established division between hybrid and native applications, and in its specific objectives to seek to investigate the most used applications, employability and remuneration, in addition to preferences of professional developers. Documentary research is used as the main method and exploratory research is used in relation to the objectives. The results will be presented through data collection and analysis of observed impressions, in conclusion with recommendations for possible future contributions to the scientific community together with final considerations in which changes in the market are observed, proven by the increase in usage time and downloads. in apps, generating new demands, as well as the migration of websites to applications, generating discussion on how to carry out their constructions, which are still evaluated and decided on in a peculiar way. In addition to the evolutionary monitoring of the native language Kotlin, the considerable number of offers still present in the Brazilian market for the Java language and the consolidation of the Swift language replacing Objective-C, the hybrid application Flutter being considered a favorite by developers and the difference in remuneration in the international scene among iOS and Android developers.
