On the other hand, choosing the right tech stack at the initial stages of the mobile app development process can ensure that the final product will be a success. Maintenance of the apps will become seamless and the project will be delivered on time. It will lead to happy and satisfied customers and thus, better customer retention.

So, in this article, you will get a glimpse of some vital tips to select the right stack for your mobile application development projects. But before we dive deeper into it, let’s glance at the factors on which the choice of technology stack depends.

Mobile Application Development: Factors to Consider while Deciding on the Technology Stack

Technology stack is a combination of programming languages, tools, frameworks, libraries, platforms, and UI/UX designs used while developing mobile applications. Technology stack majorly consists of two software components: client-side and server-side, also called frontend and backend respectively.

Here are the factors that must be considered while deciding on the technology stack for mobile application development.

• Type of Project
• The Concept or Idea of the App
• Time-to-market
• Budget constraints
• Scalability
• Security of the App

Technology Stack for Client-side or Frontend in Mobile App Development

Client-side or frontend is generally referred to the user interface of a mobile app which is used by the people for interacting with the app functions. Let’s analyze some technology stacks required for frontend development. They are broadly categorized as Native- Android and iOS, Cross-platform, and Hybrid.

Technology Stack for Native App Development

For Native apps, the mobile app developers need to choose platform-specific programming languages, tools, SDKs, development environments, etc. that are usually provided by operating system vendors.

Technology Stack for Android App Development

Programming Languages: Java, Kotlin, Android SDK

Toolset: Android Developer tools and Android Studio.
