Question

Why we should not build a Android app instead of web app

Jaish Mathews · Answer

Quick Answer: Building an Android app in C# is possible (via .NET MAUI or Xamarin), but it’s often less efficient than a web app because of limited ecosystem support, heavier maintenance and weaker native integration . A web app in C# (ASP.NET Core) is usually more portable, easier to update, and avoids the pitfalls of cross-platform mobile frameworks

Sam Hobbs · Answer

Are you asking what the advantages are of web apps? The advantages are that we generally need just one app since they usually are supported by all browsers and by all systems with a browser. Updates are easier. It is not necessary to go through a store, such as Google Store, to publish and update a web app. Web apps can be found using search engines. Web apps usually require less space in the user's device. There are limitations of web apps but I assume you are not asking about that.

Why we should not build an Android app instead of a web app (in C#) Although it is possible to build an Android app in C# using Xamarin or .NET MAUI , choosing a web app is often the better option for many projects. Key reasons: Maintenance & Updates Android apps require frequent updates and re-deployment through the Play Store. Web apps can be updated instantly on the server without user intervention. Platform Dependency An Android app works only on Android devices. A web app runs on any device (mobile, tablet, desktop) with a browser. Ecosystem & Stability Native Android (Java/Kotlin) has stronger tooling and ecosystem support. C# mobile frameworks rely on cross-platform layers, which can introduce bugs and compatibility issues. Development Cost & Time Web apps are faster to build and easier to test. Android apps require device testing, OS version handling, and store compliance. Performance & Integration Native Android apps have better access to device features. C# cross-platform apps may have weaker native integration compared to Kotlin/Java. Portability & Scalability ASP.NET Core web apps are highly scalable and cloud-friendly. One web app serves all users instead of maintaining separate mobile builds.
