01Overview

What is Mobile app development?

Mobile app development is the process of planning, designing, building, testing and maintaining software that runs on smartphones and tablets, mainly on iOS and Android. An app development company in India such as Pugmarks Media, based in Ahmedabad, handles these steps for businesses in India and abroad.

A concrete example is a local clinic chain that wants patients to book visits from their phones. The team defines the booking flow, designs the screens, builds the app, tests it on real devices, and then publishes it to the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Mobile app platforms are the systems an app is built for. iOS runs on Apple devices, and Android runs on devices from many makers. Teams choose between a native app for one platform, such as Android app development, or one shared codebase for both, such as Cross-platform app development.

Mobile app development tools are the editors, frameworks, testing utilities and design software that developers use to build apps. The right choice typically depends on your platforms, your budget, your timeline and how much device-specific behavior the app needs.

Mobile app development does not end at launch. Apps usually need updates for new operating system versions, bug fixes and feature changes. Pugmarks Media offers maintenance as part of the service, and reporting is monthly.
