A mobile application, commonly known as a mobile app, is a type of application software^[1] designed to run on a mobile device^[2] such as a phone, tablet, or watch. Mobile apps are typically classified into three types: native, web-based, and hybrid. Native apps are made specifically for a certain platform, offering superior performance but requiring specialized development. Web-based apps utilize standard web technologies and need an internet^[6] connection to function. Hybrid apps merge the features of both native and web-based apps. The development process of these apps involves consideration of device features and constraints, using specialized integrated development environments, and thorough testing. Mobile apps are primarily distributed through platforms like Google^[7] Play, App Store^[3]e Microsoft^[4] Store. Additionally, in a business setting, Mobile Application Management (MAM) is used to control access to mobile apps and secure corporate data. Mobile apps have seen significant growth in usage and revenue, making them an essential component of the tecnologia^[5] landscape.

Definições de termos

1. ↑ application software. Application software, often simply referred to as an 'application,' is a type of computer program created to perform specific tasks or activities. This can range from text and number manipulation to graphics and audio handling. Applications can be individually written to satisfy unique needs, and they can also be portable, not confined to a single type of software. They can be broadly classified as either proprietary, with restricted usage rights, or free and open-source that allow unrestricted use, distribution, and modification. Applications can be general-purpose, like word processors, or industry-specific. They may be web-based, requiring internet access, or native, designed for a specific computer type. The term 'application' is also used in various other tech concepts like APIs, application servers, and application lifecycle management, indicating its extensive reach beyond just software.

2. ↑ mobile device. Mobile devices are dynamic tools that offer a broad spectrum of functionalities and applications across various industries. Defined by their portability, these devices range in size from pocket-friendly gadgets to larger equipment. Their physical aspects, including dimension and weight, allow for easy attachment to different host devices and mobility across diverse settings. Despite their portability, wireless connectivity is not a prerequisite. Mobile devices can access networks through both wired and wireless connections, and some even operate without internet connectivity. They are integral in numerous industries, providing solutions for field management, real-time conferencing, asset tracking, and more. However, their application in sectors such as gambling and adult entertainment has prompted regulatory scrutiny. Additionally, they are increasingly used in military operations for training and educational purposes.
