Análisis comparativo entre las plataformas de desarrollo de aplicaciones móviles para los sistemas operativos Android y IOS.

Abstract

The market has growth in intelligent mobile devices. This promotes designers and companies to develop applications and services for these devices, and they can choose one platform to obtain the maximum productivity in the implementation of these applications. The objectives are the following: 1. To study the development platforms for intelligent mobile devices. 2. To analyze the application development platform for android and Ios operative systems. 3. To determine the comparisons to obtain a bigger productivity in applications development for android and iOS. 4. To select the development platform based on established comparison parameters and prototypes’ tests. 5. To design a software application based on selected platform for customer service in Bonny restaurant’ orders. The research used the scientific method with observation and study techniques for the creation of prototypes for both development platforms which allow quantitative and qualitative results. The materials were the following. Hardware elements: 2 computers and 1 tablet. Software elements: Eclipse, SDK from Android, Netbeans, Mysql, Symfony Framework. With measurement parameters, the research obtained these results: Android 93.75% and iOS 77.5%. Android has the best productivity with the platform application implemented with an equivalence of ―Very good‖. This way the - 226 - restaurant counts with a system of orders collection with a native Android application, and it counts with a user friendly design and environment. Android improves productivity in application implementing because of a great performance in most of the established parameters. There be done projects with mobile applications with Android which uses a group of tools to make the application implementing easy with a large documentation and community of developers.
