Summary

Mobile app usage has increased significantly worldwide, with users spending around four to five hours on mobile apps daily, and Android and iOS operating systems dominating the market share. To support both platforms without building separate native versions, developers can use cross-platform development frameworks that enable "write once, run everywhere" capabilities. These frameworks simplify the development process, help achieve a consistent user experience, and reduce documentation and support efforts. A mobile database is also crucial to ensure speed and availability, and Couchbase provides a mobile database solution with built-in sync that works with popular cross-platform frameworks like Flutter, React Native, Xamarin, and Ionic. By adopting a cross-platform strategy with Couchbase, developers can deliver apps for multiple OS's quickly, especially for organizations with limited resources and short delivery timeframes.
