running various operating systems. No longer will development teams have to grapple over Objective-C or
Swift to construct native applications; instead, they may utilize common web technologies like JavaScript,
Angular, HTML, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

Like Native applications, Hybrid Apps are developed on a specific platform and published across several app
stores, like Google Play and Apple’s App Store. Hybrid apps are optimal when developing applications that
do not need high-performance, full-device access.

Progressive web apps (PWAs)

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are web apps that combine progressive enhancement with service workers,
manifest, and other web-platform capabilities to provide users with an experience comparable to native apps.
Hybrid programs are released via app stores, including Google Play and Apple’s App Store. PWAs are more
discoverable since they may be located in search engine results or added to a device’s home screen using the
“Add to Home-screen” option. PWAs also allow for extensive customization.
Desktop apps

A desktop application is a software that may be executed on a standalone computer to accomplish a particular
activity. Some desktop programs, such as word processors, picture editors, and media players, enable you to
complete various tasks, whereas others, like gaming applications, are designed for leisure purposes alone.
Most current desktop applications, such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, and other collaboration apps, need an
internet connection. This distinguishes them from older desktop software. They are essentially desktop ver-
sions of features accessible on smartphones and browsers.

Legacy apps

A legacy application or legacy app is an old or obsolete software program. Existing legacy applications may
be unstable due to incompatibility with modern operating systems, web browsers, and IT infrastructures.

Most businesses rely on legacy software and computer systems to meet vital business requirements. Typical-
ly, the task consists of keeping the old application operational while transforming it to modern, more effec-
tive code which uses modern technologies and programming languages. A legacy application usually de-
pends on a certain OS or programming language version. For instance, a program designed to operate on
Windows 7 may not be compatible with Windows 11.
