Pega Mobility

You can develop Pega Platform mobile apps in a variety of ways depending on your need, objectives and experience.

The approach you take falls into the following mobile app categories:

• Model-driven web app in a mobile web browser - A generated Pega Platform application that is started on a mobile web browser such as Safari.
• Model-driven web app in a native wrapper - A generated Pega Platform application that is dedicated to run within the Pega Mobile Client. See Custom mobile app for details.
• Native app with HTML web views - A custom third-party native application, extended by means of the Mashup SDK capability, that contains at least one screen in which a Pega Platform application (or its part) is embedded in a web view.
• Platform specific native app - A custom third-party native application, extended by means of the Connect SDK library to access the Pega Platform data on its backend.
