As mobile application development becomes increasingly important, one of the biggest challenges developers face is running applications on multiple platforms. The latest application code supports the concept of “write once, run anywhere” (WORA), which means that once you write code on one platform, you can run it on multiple platforms. In this article, we will introduce you to 9 great mobile App development tools that will help you design the most cutting-edge and efficient apps in a short time.
