Embankment Protection - React Native Application Cross-Platform Application for protection of embankments by crowd sourced data

Abstract

Developing mobile application compatible for both Android and iOS, hence a cross-platform development approach, as developers faced a challenge previously learning development specific language for Android and iOS. Compared to other hybrid mobile application frameworks, React Native has faster development time, wide market search and easy third party integration. It is also time and cost efficient for single codebase nature. Getting to the bottom of the solution for the underlying problem, this paper utilizes React Native framework to create an efficient hybrid mobile application “Embankment Protection App” capable of provisioning crowd sourced solutions pertaining to embankment surveys. The framework has been created for Android and iOS, the produced results reflects adequate experience for users on both the platforms. The framework develops truly native apps and does not compromise much with user experiences regardless of the platform. The programming language used for the solution of this research paper is a combination of Javascript.
