Abstract EN
The purpose of this study is to report on the industry’s perspectives and opinions on cross-platform mobile development, with an emphasis on the popularity, adoption, and arising issues related to the use of technical development frameworks and tools.
We designed and conducted an online survey questionnaire, for which 101 participants were recruited from various developer-oriented online forums and websites.
A total of five questions are reported in this study, of which two employed a Likert scale instrument, while three were based on multiple choice.
In terms of technical frameworks, we find that PhoneGap, the Ionic Framework, and React Native were the most popular in use, both in hobby projects and in professional settings.
The participants report an awareness of trade-offs when embracing cross-platform technologies and consider penalties in performance and user experience to be expected.
This is also in line with what is reported in academic research.
We find patterns in the reported perceived issues which match both older and newer research, thus rendering the findings a point of departure for further endevours.
