Видео

Haha, this video was not about choosing, it was just an overview of everything ☺ Here's the one about choosing: ruclips.net/video/Oz0YeouiaOA/видео.html

I know, a lot of echo, but did you try the subtitles? I manually added subtitles for the entire video! 🫶

I briefly mentioned it at the end, but I think it's still early because the iOS side is not stable. We even had some challenges with KMP alone, so I can only imagine what CMP can cause 😅

Oh, Uber is a huge app 😅 there are a lot of things involved, and if you want to build something similar, I think you need to start small with 1 core feature (like something with maps and location tracking) and then grow it. Or is it just out of curiosity?

Interesting, so then what would be something interesting that would catch your attention and seem valuable? 😇

Thanks a lot! 🤩 will do!

Thanks a lot 🫶 yes, I briefly mentioned Compose MP at the end, I think, but the reason I don't fully recommend it yet is because iOS is still in Beta and has a few inconsistencies and bugs. For a "production / client app" I think it's quite risky, at this time, but it will get better 💪

Thanks a lot! 🫶

You don't need to know Java. Its a nice to have before learning kotlin (cause its kinda similar) but you don't need it at all

Thanks a lot! 🫶 exactly as @loyaljakes said, you can start fresh with Kotlin, and that's what I recommend, you don't need to know Java ☺ good luck!

@@loyaljakes Thanks for adding that, I totally agree and I'd recommend starting directly with Kotlin as well ✨

@@loyaljakes Thanks a lot

@@mobiledevlife Thanks ❤️

Thanks a lot! 😊

They've been around for a while, at some point they seemed like "the next big thing", but their capabilities and UX are limited. Sure, instead of just having a web app through a browser, it's better to have a PWA, but there's not a big difference between them 😅 so for a smooth UX and a better app overall, I'd recommend at least a cross-platform approach with Flutter or React Native 😊

It's kind of in-between cross-platform and web apps. As I replied to someone asking about PWA, a Ionic-based app is still better than a web app, but the capabilities are limited, so the UX is not that smooth, the access to features and stability will suffer, and so on 🤔 for e-commerce apps it can work well, but in general I'd recommend at least a cross-platform approach with Flutter or React Native 👍

I mentioned it towards the end, but I didn't see it being so popular 🤔

It's one of the best options, yes 😁 "one of"!

Wise words, I started mobile development around the same time, and yea, only React Native was a shiny new thing but very unstable and few people paid attention. Things can change a lot in 5-10 years. AI learning is a MUST! 😅

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I wanted to do that initially (when I heard how bad the echo was), but I think it would take away from the atmosphere of the talk. Maybe Re-upload a different video with the voiceover?

I think it's here to stay, Google still supports it, it's fast, has a huge community and a good development experience 😊 even if the language, Dart, is not the most popular.

Thanks for watching! ✨

Haha 😂 why? It's not that bad, in my experience. Also, if you look on Linkedin, people are praising it even more!

its the future with compose Multi platform

@@MANNUKUMAR-dj4us Once Compose MP gets good for iOS, it's a huge competitor in the race!

At my workplace, 90% of the apps we built are "native", that's because of multiple reasons: bigger team (so we can work in parallel on iOS & Android), complexity of some apps, team experience. We also tried Flutter, React Native and recently KMP, so that's exciting as well 🤩

@@mobiledevlife what about KMP Dan? Does your team consider it for future evolution of product(s)? I now many native teams now go to it.

@@konstantink2396 Yes, we already created a full app with KMP, we had a few challenges but overall it went well ☺

Sure, full roadmap for building an app from scratch? Like: how to start, what are the steps? Or what kind of roadmap? 😊

​@@mobiledevlifeThank you for responding! 🙏 I’d really love to know how to get started with app development and which frameworks are used for creating different types of apps. Could you explain the steps for a beginner, including the essential skills and popular frameworks like Android, iOS, React Native, Flutter, etc.? If you could make a video covering these, it would really help a lot of students! 😊📱🚀.

@@sahildevbarman3234 Sure thing, I just replied to your other comment, so you'll find all the info there and we can continue the talk there ;)

For sure! 🤩 thanks for the feedback. The actual Server and DB in the cloud, right? Not the Db on the phone (that's also a thing, yes :D )

Thank you so much! 🥹 I've posted 3 videos since this one, I hope you'll find them useful!

Well, yes and no, actually the video I posted right after this one is exactly about that 😁 how to secure your career in an AI world, it's on my channel

You are amazing

@@Limus-ke8pc Thank you so much! 🥹

Thank you so much 😊 I'll try to keep it like that in future videos!

Or if you want to keep developing for Android, switch to Kotlin, it's better than Java 😊

I just saw this comment now, sorry. I mentioned MAUI towards the end, but honestly I know many companies and developers, and none of them are using MAUI 😅 I also did some research on it, but there are no clear advantages over Flutter or React Native, so idk, right now I'd only choose MAUI if I'm a .NET developer who wants to build a mobile app :D

Thank you! 😊 That's a great question! For a basic video sharing app, I think cross-platform would work, BUT ... TikTok became massive, it has all sorts of filters, effects, things kept in the memory, incredible performance (considering its features), and video (editing, recording, sharing) being the core of it, I'd definitely recommend the native approach, for fewer problems and bugs along the way. ALSO, one aspect that's overlooked: iOS and Android updates, new OS versions. If iOS 18 comes and breaks something that Flutter or React Native need to fix with an update, TikTok would lose millions, and they won't risk that.

@@mobiledevlife Thanks alot for the reply

@@Vinc-b7j You're welcome ;)

I hope this wasn't just sarcasm, haha, I wanted to post youtube videos since 2 years ago and I didn't do it because I didn't like how my voice sounds on camera 😂

@@mobiledevlifehaha Nobody likes their own voice Trust me 😂

@@dominik3482 I've heard that, haha, at least their own voice on camera! 😂

@@mobiledevlife no it definitely wasn't I liked the content and I like listening to you, I subbed as well :)

@@crhis4089 Thank you so much! 😊

Flutter is cool and has lots of good features, yes. SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose also have that capability of rebuilding only what's necessary. The thing is: even if Flutter compiles to machine code, it doesn't mean it will be as fast as native apps. It can be in many situations, for sure, but here and there the rendering engine might flop, some integration can have bugs, and so on. I'd choose Flutter for a lot of projects, for sure 🎉 but not for all projects, of course ;)

just do flutter my friend, you won't regret it, the hype behind react native is just because all these developers are coming from web which makes sense because they don't want to learn anything new. flutter is faster and it does have a community and safe to use packages

I think both of them are good options. React Native will force you to learn JS and web-like concepts, which could be useful if you wanna switch later. However, Flutter is more tailored to mobile (although they also market their "web" platform, but it's kind of trash at this point). Ask yourself: what's the goal? To build your own apps? to get a job? freelancing projects? All of them? And honestly you can get a job with any of them 😁

@@rida_brahim 😂 it's funny, I also like Flutter more, but I think React Native has good potential for people with web background, or who want to be more versatile. In the end, you'll find jobs with any of them, so think about what you might like as well.

@@mobiledevlife i started with flutter, now I'm reading docs for jetpack compose to make an app in Kotlin, I don't have to use flutter for everything + it's good to learn native in case a package doesn't exist and must write some platform channels code, please keep on posting new videos, it's good to learn from established developers about this field :)

@@rida_brahim That's amazing, good luck in your journey and I'm sure the apps you build will be incredible 🔥 and thank you for the support! 🙏

I think you can find a lot of freelance work with Flutter too, but maybe on smaller projects. With Kotlin (native Android) you might be able to find longer-term contracts, on bigger apps. It depends, in Asia I think cross-platform is more popular, while in Europe there's a lot of demand for native app development as well. Why did you start with Kotlin, you saw more freelancing opportunities with it? I'm curios 🤔 Flutter is very versatile and growing (well, Kotlin too, especially with KMP), so either one would be great. I worked only on native iOS/Android for years, then learned Flutter to have that skill too (but I was already working in a company in a technical leadership role 😁).

@@mobiledevlife first of all i am not expecting that you will reply thanks for that you earned a subscriber . I started kotlin because its officially declared language for android and next weak i will make an app probably a quiz app 😅 , i didnt reseach about flutter , my friend in university told me that his brother is doing internship as a flutter developer and that flutter is booming so then i feel little sad about my choice , but i think i should continue learning kotlin , and in future if my work demands flutter skills i will learn it . what do you think it will be easy for me?

@@ShahmeerKhan-tg5mj Oh, now I understand, I thought you already know Flutter 😁 I think you shouldn't worry, you can always learn a new language or framework if needed. Kotlin is used for Android, KMP and also for backend in some cases. Dart is mostly used just for Flutter, so honestly you're more versatile with Kotlin. Also, when you know one, learning the other is not that hard. Flutter is indeed growing, but KMP and native Android are still in demand. You can continue with Kotlin while keeping your eyes open for potential market changes (but Google already said at their conference that they support Kotlin Multiplatform more and more, so you're good 😊).

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you so much! 🤩

That's a good question, that will have its own video 😊 but in short, if you're a solo dev, it makes sense to start with a service like Firebase, Supabase, etc, for the backend side. As for front-end, it depends if you need it or not, Vue and React (actually Nuxt and Next.js) are good choices. For an entire software team, it's worth building your own backend with Ruby on Rails, Node or even Django.

Thanks a lot, I'm trying to share as much knowledge and useful info as possible 🥹 and I'm planning to post more often, like every 2 weeks.

@@mobiledevlife you're welcome ✨, btw I'm going to go with flutter for now.

@@lazyrafay sound good, wishing you the best of luck! ✨

They are not so different, that's right, especially if you look from a developer's point of view. I started with native iOS, and then learned native Android, Flutter, etc, after a couple of years. However, for a business, deciding what technology to use for their mobile app idea will definitely have a high impact. Also, as an indie dev if you want to make some income on the side, it's not that you can't do most things with any technology, but it's also about how many blockers, headaches and invested hours you'll have along the way 😊

Thank you so much 🤩 and hello neighbour, I'm from Romania 😁

It's there, yes 😉 towards the middle of the video.

Thanks for the support! 🔥😊

That was my first one, couldn't have asked for a nicer start ✨

A good option for many situations 👌

For MacOS desktop it's still Swift, like for iOS, but for Windows you have many options, from C# to even Java or Kotlin. I haven't explored this realm in a while, and my only friends working on desktop apps are actually working on MacOS apps 😅 with Swift. In college and at my first job (at HP) I built desktop apps with Java.

@@mobiledevlife Thank you so much ❤️

@@-m_a_h_000 You're welcome 😊

Thanks for adding that, lately I focused more on native and Flutter, so it's probably time to get into Expo a bit more 😁

That's interesting, I haven't used MAUI but it's clearly a good evolution from Xamarin 🔥 happy to see that it works well for you.

Thanks a lot! 🤩 As for your question, if you want to build apps for Android, definitely Kotlin, or maybe React Native if you also want to learn some JS. It depends, do you want to get a job soon, or to build your own apps?

@@mobiledevlife am working on my own app

@@mobiledevlife but at the same time i don't think getting a job also should affect me building my app

@@Cybert699 Definitely, you can do both, of course you'll have less time to work on your app if you have a job, but you'll also have a steady income and that allows you to not rush things 😊
