Native iOS is known for security & performance, how it secures the app and improves overall performance

Low cost

With Cross-platform app development, you don’t need two separate teams of developers to build mobile apps for different platforms, thus saving you a lot on the development cost.

Single code base

The app built using Cross-platform development uses only a single codebase! Amazing, right?

Rapid development

Only a single cycle of development is needed to create an app that runs on several platforms.

Better store support

As mentioned before, Native app providers are known to provide better performance and speed. This makes it easier to be published and ranked higher on the platform’s app store.

A wide array of functionalities

You can make the best use of every API tool provided by the platform when you choose Native app development.

Peak performance and exceptional UX

The reason behind the high performance is because of the interaction between the code and the underlying resources. Moreover, Native apps have a better UX that is synonymous with the platform.

Growing scalability

Native apps tend to be more scalable, all thanks to the flexibility in resource management and the vast range of tools available.

KeyChain API

KeyChain API in iOS acts as hardware-oriented secure data storage that collects and stores data such as passwords, and other important credentials. The iOS platform comes with its own dedicated space in the keychain that doesn’t allow access to other apps, therefore providing you with the highest level of security.

Data protection API

Another inbuilt security feature that all versions of iOS come with is Data Protection API which allows the iOS app to encrypt and decrypt its files automatically. Data Protection API is by default activated in the iOS apps, but you get the option to configure it as per your needs.

Verifying signature

Another default security feature of iOS is that it uses verified signatures. Before sending a message, you will need a pair of private or public keys. After that, it will send a signature together with the receiver’s actual data, using the public key to validate the signature.

CloudKit

Alike KeyChain API, CloudKit is also a data storage that stores data in Apple’s iCloud using your Apple ID. This enables the security feature by which your app and the server’s commutation is done by using Apple’s client-side CloudKit framework.

Encrypted data transfer

iOS also offers encrypted data transfer with the help of airdrop. For those who don’t know, the airdrop is a feature that lets you share files with other iOS users with just a tap. When airdropping files, you can select from a range of options like “contacts only”, “receiving off”, and “for everyone.”

HTTPS

iOS’s latest feature is App Transport Security (ATS) which has the ability to improve the security of the connecting network by blocking HTTP connections.

Highly secure authentication

Last but not least are the authentication features like face recognition, fingerprint authentication, and eye recognition. These features make iOS applications the most secure among their competition.
