What is Mobile App Development?

• The process of developing software specifically
  for portable, wireless devices like smartphones
  and other handheld gadgets is known as mobile
  application development.
• Mobile application development has its origins in
  traditional software development, just like web
  application development. Although it's
  meaningless, the subcategory of software
  development explicitly refers to programmes that
  run on mobile devices.
• Mobile apps' main objective is to work with
  several operating systems, including iOS and
  Android. By utilising the smartphone's inherent
  features, mobile apps often provide a better user
  experience than mobile web browsing.
