8 App Rapid Development Tools That Developers Must Know

"I have a great idea, all I need is a CTO..."

"Native APP development is difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and the market has already been occupied before it is launched."

"Iterative updates of APP versions are always a challenge for enterprises. Is there no permanent solution?"

"How can a web developer quickly adapt to the mobile Internet era and develop an app using HTML5?"

"Developing for both Android and IOS platforms simultaneously, programmers are dying of exhaustion from working overtime..."

In response to the pain points of the industry, numerous APP development tools have emerged at home and abroad. As long as developers have relevant HTML5, CSS and JavaScript knowledge, they can easily and quickly develop their own APP. Based on the numerous module functions in the development tools, the APP has an *** native experience.

AppMobi

Mobile development company AppMobi is constantly consolidating its toolkit in HTML5 and launched a new development tool XDK, which allows developers to build applications for the web and mobile platforms using HTML5. The final code can be used for HTML5 application development, just like those programs now seen in the Chrome Web App Store, or for multi-platform application development, and finally submitted to the Apple or Android application store.

APICloud

APICloud mobile development platform is one of the most popular tools at present. Its products provide APIs for mobile developers from both the "cloud" and "end" directions, simplifying mobile application development technology, reducing the workload of one man-month to one man-week, and greatly improving the efficiency of mobile application development and management. APICloud consists of two parts: "cloud API" and "end API", which can help developers quickly realize the full life cycle management of mobile application development, testing, release, management and operation.
