Mobile apps are more expensive to develop than web apps, and because they are platform-specific, launching an app across different platforms pretty much means starting from scratch in terms of design and web application development (See: goodcore.co.uk/services/web-app-development/). However, they are much faster, and tend to be more advanced in terms of features and functionality. Native mobile apps are built using specific languages and Integrated Development Environments (IDE) depending on the intended platform. Apple devices run on the iOS native operating system, so Apple apps are built using either Objective-C or Swift, and the Xcode IDE. Native apps for Android are written in Java and are commonly built using the Android Studio or Eclipse IDE. Apple and Google also provide their own development tools, interface elements and software development kits (SDK) which developers can use to build native mobile apps.
