Parts of the open-source Android operating system are written in C and C++. Android apps are written in Java or Kotlin. iOS is also written in C and C++ and is closed source. iOS apps are written in Objective-C or Swift. iOS uses the open-source Darwin operating system as a system basis, but the finished iOS version as we know it is closed source.

Native apps are programmed with a specific programming language for the specific mobile platform. For example, Android apps are developed in Java/ Kotlin, whereas iOS apps are written in Objective-C/ Swift. Native apps have full access to all platform-specific libraries and APIs in order to take advantage of all the features a modern smartphone has to offer. Assuming the user has granted the necessary permissions, the app has direct access to the camera, GPS, and all the other sensors. Developers are able to build apps that make use of system resources such as the GPU and CPU to build powerful apps. Native apps generally exhibit excellent performance and are optimized for mobile platforms. In most cases, native apps look and feel great and are able to support every possible gesture on the touchscreen.
