Python Apps vs Native Apps

Difference Between Python and Native App Development🚴

While developing mobile apps, understand the mobile app development process. Also, you need to know why to choose Python over the native language Swift. Here are some differences between Python and Swift that can help you understand better.

Having considered the fundamental difference between Python and Swift, let’s take a look at the difference between Python and Swift

1. Code Readability

Python is a winner here as it was built to make reading codes easy. On the other hand, Swift can complicate the development by using different codes for different resolutions.

If you want to simplify the coding for complex applications, Python could be your go-to programming language

2. Developer Strength

Regarding Python, numerous developers are waiting to help with application development. The developer strength isn’t as much for Kotlin or Swift, which makes the programming language better for Python mobile development. On the contrary, you will find an experienced Python developer who easily develops apps.

3. Cross-platform Development

If you are a startup, you would want to simultaneously release the mobile app for both platforms. However, utilizing the same resource for cross-platform Python framework with native apps is impossible. You can do that with Python. Hence, Python is a seemingly incredible platform for this purpose. As a result, whether you want to develop business apps or audio and video apps, you should use Python’s cross-platform GUI toolkit.

4. Size of Apps

As Python works with the reusability premise, you can use the components across mobile app development. That’s not the case with Swift, at least. As a result, iOS apps are more significant compared to Python apps. Moreover, Python is better than Java when it comes to memory management.

5. Cost-efficient

You save a lot of money on infrastructure and developers when you develop Python mobile apps with Python. You can use the same team to deploy apps for iOS and Android. However, with the native approach, you will need two different teams to manage the development for iOS and Android.

6. Better Testing and Development Infrastructure

The programming language offers its testing and development framework. It increases the speed of development and testing with the test-driven development environment. With Python, you can quickly test, develop, and launch applications faster than native apps.

7. Big Data Support

If you are planning heavy data-driven applications, Python can be better than other programming languages. It is built to support data languages, offers extensive analytical, insight-building capabilities, and supports different machine learning platforms. As a result, it is easier to develop machine learning apps for different platforms for mobile device.

8. Third-party Support

As against native approaches (both Android and iOS), Python is highly operable with third-party modules and plugins. You can extend the capability of your mobile app to make an app with Python using the open-source Python library.

You should have clear understanding of API development with Python to develop such command line apps or business management apps
