Abstract

Mobile cross-platform tools (CPTs) provide an interesting alternative to native development. Cross-platform tools aim at sharing a significant portion of the application codebase between the implementations for the different platforms. This can drastically decrease the development costs of mobile applications. There is, however, some reluctance of mobile application developers to adopt these tools. One of the reasons is that the landscape of CPTs is so diverse that it is hard to select the most suitable CPT to implement a specific application. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, it presents a performance analysis of a fully functional mobile application implemented with ten cross-platform tools and native for Android, iOS and Windows Phone. The performance tests are executed on a high- and low-end Android and iOS device, and a Windows Phone device. Second, based on the performance analysis, general conclusions of which application developers should be aware when selecting a specific (type of) cross-platform tool are drawn.

移动跨平台工具(cpt)为本地开发提供了一个有趣的选择。跨平台工具的目标是在不同平台的实现之间共享应用程序代码库的重要部分。这可以大大降低移动应用程序的开发成本。然而，移动应用程序开发人员不太愿意采用这些工具。其中一个原因是CPT的前景是如此多样化，以至于很难选择最合适的CPT来实现特定的应用程序。本文的贡献是双重的。首先，它呈现了一个功能齐全的移动应用程序的性能分析，该应用程序使用10个跨平台工具，并在Android、iOS和Windows Phone上运行。性能测试分别在高端和低端Android和iOS设备以及Windows Phone设备上执行。其次，根据性能分析，得出应用程序开发人员在选择特定(类型)跨平台工具时应该注意的一般结论。
