Why are clients turning to Titanium App Development?

This article is a brief introduction to Appcelerator Titanium app development for creating high-quality cross-platform mobile apps.

Why Cross-Platform Mobile Development

In today's world, mobile usage has become ubiquitous and there is rapid proliferation of mobile platforms, such as Android, iOS, Windows, BlackBerry, Symbian, WebOS, Bada, etc. If you are a mobile app provider, your target audience is spread across all these mobile platforms. If you choose to create your apps as "native" apps targeting a specific platform, you risk being confined to the subset of your target audience who are on that particular mobile platform only. Targeting users across platforms creating native apps for each in turn is not only time consuming but also extremely expensive and can be a maintenance nightmare.

Titanium App Development

Cross-platform app development options such as Titanium app development are a great way to simplify the mobile app development process by enabling app creators to code a mobile app once and deploy it to multiple popular mobile platforms like iPhone, Android, Windows, etc. There are a number of cross-platform mobile development frameworks available today – for example Appcelerator Titanium, PhoneGap, Rhomobile, etc. Though they have the same goal (cross-platform compatibility), they differ in the manner in which they accomplish that goal. Titanium development, for example, is one of the top choices and using it you can create full-featured iOS, Android, mobile web (and soon BlackBerry) apps with truly native widgets and with access to native hardware features & APIs.

Titanium Benefits

The following are some of the advantages of Titanium development:

  • Go cross-platform: Titanium enables you to build cross-platform mobile (iOS, Android, and mobile web) apps from a single code base.

  • Go to market faster: Titanium apps are a lot easier and faster (up to 70%) to create than developing in Objective-C or Java.

  • Create full-featured apps: Titanium apps use truly native widgets and have access to native hardware features & APIs.

  • Leverage the Cloud: Create engaging user experiences with cloud services (e.g. push notifications and check-ins).

  • Leverage the ecosystem: Titanium has a thriving ecosystem with a community of 350,000 Titanium developers, lots of service providers, and training providers.

  • Open Standards: Titanium's use of open standards maximizes your flexibility and avoids vendor lock-in issues.

  • According to Appcelerator, it is also "the first mobile platform to combine the flexibility of open source development technologies with the power of cloud services."
