Can Outsystem replace other mobile technologies like Android, iOS or cross-native technologies?
No
OutSystems abstracts the underlying technology to create mobile applications. But they are still needed to compile and run the applications.
Building a whole operating systems such as Android or iOS is not possible with OutSystems as it is intended to build apps.
@Dieter Vennekens If it can't replace Android or iOS. what is the point of using it
Why would you want to replace Android or iOS? They are the operating system of your mobile device?The point of OutSystems is to build mobile application that work on your mobile device, independent if the underlying system is Android or iOS.
I didn't asked to replace android and iOS as Operating system. I have asked reagrding applications built over it. I haven't mentioned operating system anywhere
Hi Ellyse,
we can not say yes or no for question yes but if you develop the mobile app in ousystem. the app(same code) working fine in both Andriod and iOS . and also work as a native.
Thanks

@Chandra Vikas I know it will work for both android and ios.. But will it be as smooth and efficient as those technologies?
There will be no noticeable difference if it's run on iOS or Android.
There will be a noticeable difference if it's run as a PWA
OutSystems mobile applications are essentially web applications wrapped in a native shell. This can lead to performance issues compared to fully native applications, especially for complex applications requiring intensive data processing or advanced graphics. If these performance differences are significant and unacceptable for your needs, you should consider opting for native development.
