Developing Native Mobile Apps with SMP
The SDK of the SAP Mobile Platform provides you with tools that streamline the development. One of the most common types are Native Apps: mobile apps developed specifically for one device operating system.
Native apps typically perform better than other application types and provide full access to a device's hardware.
They are often used for consumer facing apps - when branding and customer satisfaction are of highest priority. As a draw back, native apps have to be re-written for different device technologies, therefore can come at a higher cost.
With Support Package 5 for the SMP 3.0 SDK, we have released significant enhancements to our solution
Our harmonized OData SDK provides an open and flexible framework for native OData application development for both online and offline applications for the most popular devices OS's: Android, iOS and Windows.
The name "Harmonized" comes from the concept that you can use very similar APIs across different platforms for native and cross-platfom apps, which run on either on-premise version or HANA Cloud Platform Mobile Services. We have different programming languages but ideally we want to use the very similar APIs - hence "harmonized"!
