Abstract

Cross-platform mobile application development has become a crucial tactic for organizations to reach a wider audience in today’s fast-paced digital ecosystems. To maximize user engagement developers must create applications that work flawlessly across several platforms, such as ios and android. The use of low-code and free and open-source technologies in crossplatform mobile application development is explored in this research. This project makes use of the alpha anywhere community edition software as the low code tool which offers x-basic coding system, pre-built components, and easy visual interfaces while the mysql serves as the free and open-source database which is strong in security, reliability and can help contain scalable applications at minimal cost. The project development took advantage of the benefits of both methods by integrating the low code platform and free and open-source technology. rapid application assembly was made possible by the low-code platform, while free and open-source framework offers the performance and flexibility needed for cross-platform development. In conclusion, cross-platform mobile application development using low code and free and open-source technologies is an appealing option for organizations looking for effective, affordable, and scalable solutions.
