It’s certainly a difficult thing to select between os’s like iOS or Android while going for application development for corporate needs. However, getting a software separately built for each platform would be a very pricey affair. So the best alternative is cross-platform mobile application development. In this process, mobile apps are developed once and are run on all available platforms like Apple, Android, Windows or Blackberry. So, with a single shared code base developers can easily create device independent applications that can run on any mobile platform. It’s an zavi affordable approach for the businesses to a target various platforms for huge audience base for corporate needs like marketing or sales. Lesser time, costs and efforts need to develop cross-platform apps that can work very well on any mobile device and hence, enable businesses to expand their reach and promote their business much effectively. Moreover, maintenance costs are also reduced because here underneath the to maintain and invest only in one application and not go for multiple apps targeted for various platforms.
So, what does this type of development require? What are the tools that can help developers to create such awesome applications that run faultlessly on all available os’s and devices? Have you ever thought about it? Here’s the answer.
Let us now think about a few important mobile instance development tools that are traditional by the mobile instance developers for this specific purpose:

Xamarin
Xamarin is a good technology supporting the development of apps that can run on various platforms. Based on C# technology and sharing the code base with platforms like iOS, Android, Windows and Mac, Xamarin allows for easy and rapid development of platform independent applications that give high performance and greatly improve user experience. Real-time bugs, crash and conditions can be found and well-managed with this platform.
RhoMobile
RhoMobile is an open source, cross-platform application development framework based on Ruby. Using this highly integrated platform, instance developers can build some really awesome local apps for platforms like local apps for Windows Phone, Android, Symbian, CASING and iOS.
