These apps are developed with the force.js library and store their HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files on the user’s device. Under the hood, hybrid apps are Cordova apps that use the Salesforce Mobile SDK plugin. This container, which is built on Apache Cordova technology, lets developers write their code in HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. These apps run in a mobile container that parses web app code and runs it as native code. Hybrid apps combine the ease of HTML5 Web app development with the native power of iOS and Android.
Mobile SDK offers hybrid app development as a cross-platform alternative to native apps.
