What is a native app?

Definition

A native app is built specifically for one platform — Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android — to make the most of the device’s hardware and performance.

Why it matters

Native shines when performance, camera, sensors or system integration are critical. Otherwise, cross-platform is often more economical.
