In the recent years, mobile application development industry has changed the entire market scenario. Millions of mobile applications have been developed by thousands of top mobile app developers to achieve their goal by providing best service to consumers and enterprises. While developing any mobile application, regardless of the professional productivity tools developers will be using, there is one more important decision to take before diving in the application development process, i.e. choosing the right programming language for application development.


Once the developers will take charge on the programming language, a variety of different other factors will come towards their way. By considering the mobile operating system on which the application will run on, developers will decide the level of functionality and ease of writing codes, keeping the business strategy in mind. The selection of programming language will be dependent on the business strategy as the client want to us to build native, hybrid or cross-platform app.


Here are some of the most popular mobile application development programming languages that are being used by top mobile app developers.


  1. Java: Java is an object-oriented programming language which was developed by Sun Microsystems. The reason behind the popularity of Java is its versatility. When it comes to Android app development, Java is the most preferred programming language as it offers flexibility and versatile advancements. While developing an application in Java programming language, developers can have lots of advantages such as the Java programs can run with or without a browser in a virtual machine and on different platforms. Java is a preferable language when it comes to building cross-platform mobile applications.

  1. HTML5: Are you looking to develop a web-fronted app for mobile devices? If yes, then you can completely rely on HTML5. It is a reliable solution for various types of data. HTML5 is the latest version of the Hypertext Markup Language. It provides a standard solution to insert multiple data types easily and streamline input data. The programs build in HTML5 justifies the screen size easily and provides its users an amazing user-interface to the app users. HTML5 features multimedia support and full functionality across all platforms, browsers and devices. From the cost and efficiency point, HTML5 is the best choice for startups. If the app developers are dealing with uncertainty, HTML5 will be the cost-effective language to achieve their objectives.

  1. Objective-C: Objective-C is an object-oriented programming language. In this language, codes are written around distinct objects with their own data and logic. It allows mobile app developers to create classes for objects. On one hand, where the world is relying on C++ for development and technology advancements, Apple has appointed Objective-C as its primary language. So, eventually, Objective-C is the vital component in the Apple’s framework to develop iOS and MacOS application. Objective-C is really good in dealing with display functions, graphics and I/O functions.

  1. C++: C++ is the best language among all object-oriented programming languages. Either you are developing an Android app or Windows app, it is a powerful programming language that allows a mobile developer to build every possible and practical application on every platform that exists. The programming skills are widely known to all top mobile app developers. C++ is not an ultra-modern or trendy programming language as it is been here in existence for so long.

  1. Swift: Swift is considered as the lately introduced programming language in the Apple’s ecosystem. Lately, Apple has unveiled Swift as a successor of Objective-C, that features a modern programming language. Swift is the improved version of Objective-C and easy-to-learn application development programming language. Though it is introduced as a successor, but now, Apple wants its developers to work on Swift along with Objective-C.

Apple has also introduced Cocoa and Cocoa Touch to provide application programming interfaces for Mac OS and iOS, respectively. Swift offers an open-source platform to the application developers and it is easy-to-learn when compared to its predecessors.


Conclusion:

In this article, we have discussed the top 5 mobile programming languages used by top app developers. However, the selection of the mobile programming language entirely depends upon the business strategy followed by the application developers or app development organization.
