Mobile Framework

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A software framework that provides the runtime, UI components, and build tooling needed to develop mobile applications — either natively (SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose) or cross-platform (React Native, Flutter) — abstracting away platform-specific APIs behind a unified development model.

    In plain English: A pre-built toolkit that gives developers the building blocks and tools to create phone apps without starting from scratch.

    Example: "We went with Flutter as our mobile framework because the design team wanted pixel-identical UI on both iOS and Android."
