“…Studies on cross-platform mobile development vary in methods and focus, with a wide range of topics being actively researched. Examples of such include performance scrutiny of cross-platform frameworks and tools (e.g., [19,[24][25][26]), studies on user experience (e.g., [6,27]), more descriptive and overarching studies cover topics ranging from taxonomy (e.g., [10,28]) and evaluations of development approaches (e.g., [12,29,30]) to more technical comparisons (e.g., [18,31]) and app store analysis of cross-platform apps (e.g., [22,32,33]). The aforementioned categories have seen arduous work and results adding to an increasing body of knowledge.…”

“…Traditionally, mobile smartphone apps have been developed using tools designed for heterogeneous platform-specific development [8,9]. This type of development is commonly referred to as the Native development approach [10], pointing to the use of development environments, Software Development Kits (SDKs), and programming languages native to the target mobile platform. With multiple major platforms on the market, namely, those of Apple's iOS, Google's Android, and Microsoft's Windows 10 Mobile, a consequence of the traditional development approach is the arduous efforts that must be put forth to develop an idea into software that can be deployed to all the aforementioned platforms [7], inherently requiring proficiency in numerous platform-specific tools and languages.…”

“…Technical frameworks including PhoneGap, Cordova, Ionic, Titanium Appcelerator, and MoSync are frequently mentioned in the literature [18,19]. Each of these frameworks can be categorized into an overarching development approach based on parameters including user interface rendering environment, access to device functionality, and code compilation technique [10]. These approaches are discussed in additional detail throughout the remainder of this paper.…”

The purpose of this study is to report on the industry’s perspectives and opinions on cross-platform mobile development, with an emphasis on the popularity, adoption, and arising issues related to the use of technical development frameworks and tools. We designed and conducted an online survey questionnaire, for which 101 participants were recruited from various developer-oriented online forums and websites. A total of five questions are reported in this study, of which two employed a Likert scale instrument, while three were based on multiple choice. In terms of technical frameworks, we find that PhoneGap, the Ionic Framework, and React Native were the most popular in use, both in hobby projects and in professional settings. The participants report an awareness of trade-offs when embracing cross-platform technologies and consider penalties in performance and user experience to be expected. This is also in line with what is reported in academic research. We find patterns in the reported perceived issues which match both older and newer research, thus rendering the findings a point of departure for further endevours.

Mobile Application of NUSANTARA which called m-NUSANTARA is an KM tools that design for supporting the KM process in government human capital management. This research is continuation of previous research focusing on the development of a model of knowledge management system for civil servant from three ministries in Indonesia (KEMENPAN&RB, BKN, and LAN) which called Government Human Capital Knowledge Management of Republic of Indonesia (NUSANTARA). Implementation of this KM model is conducted with web system, further development of this system still provides constraints from several sides in providing more optimal service against users requirements as well as limited accessibility and responsiveness. This paper aims to explore the supporting features that will be used to integrate pre-existing systems that build mobile knowledge management applications. Data were collected by interview from each expert in related institution. The CommonKADS method is chosen as a technique to explore the problems and knowledge of each organization. While, SMAPA method is used to validate the result from the experts and end users. Results of this work are determine seven recommended supporting features there are vision and mission view, activity notification, group discussion, search repository, upload document and document activities log.

“…Several cross-platform development frameworks [1][2][3][4] have emerged to tackle these challenges. These development frameworks employ the "write code once, run on multiple platforms" feature: the frameworks translate codes for one platform to another platform and provide rum-time library supporting app execution.…”

Unity is the most popular cross-platform development framework to develop games for multiple platforms such as Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile. While Unity developers can easily develop mobile apps for multiple platforms, adversaries can also easily build malicious apps based on the "write once, run anywhere" (WORA) feature. Even though malicious apps were discovered among Android apps written with Unity framework (Unity apps), little research has been done on analysing the malicious apps. We propose static and dynamic reverse engineering techniques for malicious Unity apps. We first inspect the executable file format of a Unity app and present an effective static analysis technique of the Unity app. Then, we also propose a systematic technique to analyse dynamically the Unity app. Using the proposed techniques, the malware analyst can statically and dynamically analyse Java code, native code in C or C ++, and the Mono runtime layer where the C# code is running.
