Abstract-Recently, the mobile applications have emerged with the uprising smartphone trend. Now-a-days, a huge number of mobile operating systems require more developments, in order to achieve that, Open source cross-platform mobile frameworks came up, in order to allow importing the same code on various operating systems. In this paper, the focus is made on commonly used mobile development methods, and a process that selects the most suitable solution for a particular need is proposed. Eventually, a new framework that helps to choose the appropriate approach and tool respectively is suggested, according to a convenient survey based on binary questions, in addition to certain criteria.

“…The answer to these questions is presented in (Lachgar and Abdali, 2017a). This paper offers a framework allowing companies to make up one's mind on the approach to be adopted, to develop a multi-platform mobile application, the authors in (Lachgar and Abdali, 2017b) showed that the native approach has several advantages over other approaches. Further, as the name implies, native apps are built using platform-specific SDKs and development tools provided by the platform vendors.…”

As a result of the ubiquity of smartphones, the number of mobile applications is extensively growing. In order to build native apps that reach all devices, developers should deal with many different operating systems, SDKs, development tools and programming languages, which implies serious effects on cost, time and success of the mobile project. In this study, the main objective is to propose a pragmatic approach for modeling and generating native cross-platform mobile applications, respecting a multilayer architecture. The proposed approach is an MDA based technique which combines UML formals and DSL. The paper is illustrated with the modeling of a typical CRUD based app.

“…The Xtext language is used to realize the meta-model and Xtend for the implementation of the various transformations and Templates. The proposed meta-model comes to enhance the previously established work presented in [16], In fact, this latter allow to model mobile applications that make use of embedded sensors, plus the ability to transmit collected data to various targets, such as web services, embedded databases, files, or graphical interfaces.…”
