Open Source Platforms play a major role in helping developers to develop Software quickly.Mobile Application Development There are only two major Mobile OS (Android & iOS) which dominate the device market on which most of the Mobile Hardware Platforms are running. Out of the two major OS, Android is the most widely used Operating System. For such a widely used OS Platform Android (Google, Inc comes up with an IDE, the “Android Studio” which is also the best in its class when it comes to covering the entire Software Development Lifecycle for Android APPs. Android Studio provides the fastest tools for Building Apps on every type of Android-run devices.Software Development Lifecycle World-class Code Editing, Debugging, Performance Tooling, a Flexible Build System, and an instant Build/Deploy System all allow developers to focus on building unique and high quality Apps, rather than waste time shifting between Development Platforms.
