This is a key decision for you to make when creating an app for your company. RareWire’s App Creation Studio creates native apps, allowing you to create apps specific to a platform, leveraging the platform’s strengths and unique design characteristics. Below is a great article by Matt Gremmell describing the difference between native apps and web apps. The key comment:
“The primary advantage of native applications (for both customers and developers) is integration with the platform. Users want and to some extent expect these pieces of functionality, and native apps are the only type of apps with the ability to implement them. Web apps (for the most part) are forever locked out, because their domain is that of the browser, not the device…”
RareWire’s XML based language, “Wire”, affords web developers two distinct advantages when compared to Objective-C or one of the many app builder platforms available today, Speed and Familiarity. Using Wire, web developers can produce apps using a fraction of the code and knowledge base required by Objective-C and other app builders, all in days. And most importantly Wire has been built and written to be complementary to a web developers passion.
Developing an experience such as a native iOS flip animation, is as simple as one line of Wire:
<replace type="flipLeft" time="1" target="../Hub" replacement="Settings" />
RareWire’s App Creation Studio is a build it once, publish anywhere solution. Unlike other solutions which might rely on HTML5 or other web based languages for the creation of their apps, RareWire creates native apps designed to leverage the power of the individual platforms.
RareWire App Creation Studio currently supports the iOS platform, (iPhone 3, 4, iPad gen 1 and 2), and will be adding support for Android and webOS later this year for a build-it-once experience in RareWire’s XML “Wire” language, allowing designers the ability to quickly and easily create and publish one app tailored to the unique strengths of all major mobile platforms.
