Your Basic Guide to Mobile App Architecture in 2021

Mobile has become the basic necessity of our day to day life, which has not only stagnant to calling or messaging features. But after connecting internet service with mobile phones, it has increased the use of social media platforms and other mobile applications.

However, developing a mobile application requires a proper understanding and systematic process. There has been a proper mobile app architecture followed by the companies providing mobile app development services.

Well, now the question arises here what is Mobile App Architecture?

As we all know, to do something big we require a specialized team and a proper process. Similarly, mobile app architecture can be defined as a properly structured step by step process, followed by the mobile application development team to develop an application.

Following a proper architecture helps in meeting up the deadlines at the targeted dates, which also accelerates the development process making future maintenance easier.

While maintaining the proper architecture also helps in avoiding problems caused when any new features are integrated in the future. So, to deliver an error free application which is compatible with all types of OS platforms is a crucial part that requires proper planning and understanding.

However, to develop the mobile app architecture consist of multiple layers as follows:

The standard architecture and most commonly used all over the world is “three layers architecture” which include:

Presentation Layer

This is the initial stage of app development, where the main focus is on the “user interface” of the application, where the “user interface” means how the app will be presented to the end-users and how it would look like.

Client’s requirements play an important role in the development of this layer, the design made by designers should also fulfill the client’s requirements and expectations towards their application.

The main attention is to decide themes, color, fonts, images and icons to be used in the development of the app.

Business Layer

Business Layer can be described as the logical layer, where the main goal is to focus on the functionalities of the app. Coordination among the team and workflow plays an important role to develop any app. So, the features and functionalities should be mentioned properly step by step, which also includes workflow, entities, and business components.

Data Access Layer

This layer plays an important role in the secure data transaction, it combines the data utilities, service agents, and data access components.

The other primary goal, to design this layer is to get the data into the correct data format via different entities and save it in a proper format.
