Good mobile app architecture is the foundation of all well-designed software. However, when it comes to mobile applications or platforms, there’s always been a problem with a good architecture. In the case of Android, it might be because Google doesn’t support or even recommend any specific architecture. Apple, on the other hand, suggested the MVC architecture for UIKit, but their proposal aroused a lot of controversy and many experts claimed it was not a good solution. In this blogpost we’ll try to figure out how to choose the right architecture for mobile app development.

Mobile applications have been with us for more than 10 years. Within that time, the mobile development market has significantly changed. At the beginning developers were limited to native platform-specific applications which were not able to work on different systems. The growing demand for mobile apps brought new ideas for shortening development time. And that’s how cross-platform development was born. Near-native platforms, such as React Native or Flutter, are gaining ground and offering better opportunities to build native-like experiences. Today, we want to discuss the pros and cons of such solutions.
