Over the last few years, we have witnessed that mobile app developers are favoring cross-platform application development instead of opting for just Android mobile app development or iOS mobile app development process for their web, as well as mobile applications.

And as the market is growing, many new technologies and advanced application development tools are being launched. For instance, let’s take the example of some of the top cross-platform mobile app development tools that are designed and developed, especially for enterprises.

These cross-platform app development tools are highly capable of running across multiple application development platforms and provide an effective outcome for app developers. In addition to this, the demand for these tools is only expected to go up in the next few years.

Forrester forecasted over 60 percent of the total online enterprises include small, medium, and large-scale ones that are already integrated with one or more cross-platform development projects. On the other hand, Gartner expects over 20 million enterprise mobile applications to be built by the end of the year.

Best Enterprise Tools For Cross-Platform Mobile App Development

With that being said, let’s take a look at the top enterprise tools that you should be using when it comes to cross-platform mobile app development in 2019:

Adobe

The first in the list of cross-platform mobile application development tools is Adobe, whose application development offerings include PhoneGap Build. The PhoneGap Build is basically developed for the cloud, and here PhoneGap acts as an open source solution which is based on Apache Cordova. Being an open-source set of device APIs, Cordova allows already developed apps to access functions that are specific and native in nature.

The best part about using this tool is that a software developer can use a single code base instead of opting for multiple native software development kits (SDKs) like Android SDK, Windows SDK, or even Xcode for iOS.

Xamarin

Next, in the list of development tools, we have Xamarin, a well-known name in the mobile app industry. This tool not only allows application developers to build native apps but also provides them with the freedom of working with a single shared C# codebase.  Along with that, users also have the facility to test their applications on hundreds of mobile devices at the same time using the cloud service provided by it.

A couple of key features offered by Xamarin are native API access, different form interfaces for sharing code, advanced ability to add components directly from an interface, integration with backends for SAP and many more.
