Mobile Application Development

The mobile device has emerged as the perfect environment for innovation, with apps actually improving millions of lives worldwide. As such, the industry expands exponentially as powerhouses like Apple, Google, and Microsoft evolve and compete.

A need for cross platform development has risen with the success of iOS, Android's subsequent rise, and the release of Windows Phone. With BlackBerry OS7 and the new Symbian Anna and Belle, the task of building an app for any specific audience becomes even more cumbersome. This is why developers are required to create apps that work well on multiple platforms. This is accomplished by using technology that allows an app to be used across varying platforms, hardware, or operating systems. Various frameworks can be employed to accomplish this, such as PhoneGap, jQuery Mobile, jQTouch, and iWebKit.

There are multiple benefits of cross platform mobile application development. As native development on multiple platforms demands experience in Objective C, Silverlight etc., finding developers with all these skills is difficult. Cross platform development allows a development team to concentrate on creating the app itself, rather than managing its multi-platform capabilities. Also, having a single codebase is better in the long run as bug tracking is minimized and staff allocation can be managed better.

iXtentia has expertise in developing mobile applications across a variety of platforms and devices. Our experience includes Blackberry mobile application development, Windows Phone application development, iPhone application development, Symbian application development and Android mobile application development.

Some of the Apps we Developed Using PhoneGap:

iNATS iPad application
This application was designed to assist pilots with North Atlantic procedures. It is a guide for pilots to easily retrieve the data required for navigating the North Atlantic, removing the need to look through books and journals to find references. The app works offline and provides static information for reference. One can access flight information, oceanic clearance, HF SELCAL and CPDLC Log On, etc.

Extentia calendar iPad app
This application is the mobile version of the Extentia Information Technology calendar. It displays a series of pictures showing life at Extentia over the past year. The calendar is distributed every year across the Extentia extended family, which includes our customers and partners.
