Creating apps with the .NET framework
One of the best things about app development in the.NET framework is that developers can take advantage of the portability of the.NET environment. This indicates that the .NET program compiles and produces intermediate, independent code when the source code is written in a compliant language. Microsoft Intermediate Language was the original name for this kind of code portability (MSIL). Now, it is called Common Intermediate Language (CIL).
.NET can also be used to create mobile apps not only for Windows but also for Android and iOS. However, this requires using additional programs. With its help, our app developers:
- make sure the software has been thoroughly tested and satisfies all requirements before releasing it;
- create bundles with all required resources and files for the iOS and Android operating systems;
- can send the application to the appropriate app stores, adhering to submission policies and procedures.
After creation, you will be able to track user engagement, and app performance, and find opportunities for development by keeping an eye on app analytics. You will also obtain information and make the required improvements, paying attention to user reviews, ratings, and comments.

Data security is one of the most important aspects our web and app developers in London care about to deliver sites or applications that are completely safe to use. This is one of the main features of the .NET programming language.
Our web design company in London relies on code, user identity, and permission checks, that enable our .NET developers to control the system. This is a sign that the.NET framework has extremely high-security mechanisms. Additionally, this framework provides excellent support for Windows accounts.
Web application creation has become easier with the .NET framework since files may be copied or deleted to install or remove Windows-based applications.
