Mobile Development Trends To Adopt in 2021
It has been over a decade since iOS and Android were introduced. More and more developers are stepping into the engineering applications for these platforms. It is exciting to see the results right away on our smartphones.
Meanwhile, the operating systems keep growing and getting more features. When you compare the current state of Android and iOS to ten years ago, you barely find any similarities. However, if you had spotted the trends developed in mobile platforms back then, you could have prepared your apps to avoid big and unnecessary refactoring.
More and more mobile applications act as simple web pages. They mostly exchange data with servers and show information in a nice and convenient view. Some of the actions were really necessary: registration, sign-in, fetching initial information. But later, it all went even further.
The entire logic of how the app should behave moves on the backend side. The usage of polymorphic objects in server responses has become a regular practice. The response may contain styling requirements for controls and define their behaviors. Mobile applications only need to parse and apply the response.
