Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Native mobile applications are built specifically for a particular operating system, such as iOS or Android, and therefore only run on the operating system for which they are programmed. This distinguishes them from thin-client mobile applications which are usually web-based and can be accessed through a browser on any mobile device. Answer A is not necessarily true as both types of applications can be developed by a range of professionals. Answer B is incorrect because native mobile applications are usually programmed using languages specific to the operating system, such as Objective-C for iOS or Java for Android. Answer D is not correct as the development of native mobile applications takes into account and may require specific hardware or software dependencies beyond differences in browsers.
