Limitations

• Animation Use

Hybrid apps do support the animations within the app, but till some extent only. There are certain boundaries, where designers have to take a back-seat and curb and mold their creativity into some different direction when it comes to full-fledged integration of animation within the hybrid mobile app.

The native app development provides the better tooling to test and debug the work, which makes it into a less time-consuming to find and fix the app bugs, on the flip side, hybrid app do not provide reliable hybrid app development tools to debug and fix the issues, which at times consume a little more tie for the developer to identify and fix the bug.
