Desenvolvimento Nativo vs Ionic vs React Native: uma análise comparativa do suporte à acessibilidade em Android

Abstract

It is well known that smartphone apps play an essential role in our lives, whether for work, play, communication, among other tasks. However, these applications may not always be properly accessed by people who have some disability, such as visual impairment. In this context, this research is a continuation of the analysis of support for accessibility in mobile applications made by Ribeiro, Façanha e Viana (2020). The goal is to compare the application development on cross-platform tools, like React Native and Ionic, against the native development process in Android. We compared how the applications behave before and after the implementation of the accessibility requirements, and it was found, as a result, that the application in React Native got more errors than the application in native Android development, but fewer errors than the development in Ionic.
