Security Analysis of Cordova Applications in Google Play

August 2017

Mobile Cross-Platform Tools (CPTs) provide an alternative to native application development that allows mobile app developers to drastically reduce the development time and cost when targeting multiple platforms. They allow sharing a significant part of the application codebase between the implementations for the targeted platforms (e.g. Android, iOS, Windows Phone). Although CPTs provide ... [Show full abstract] significant benefits for developers, there can introduce several disadvantages. The CPT software layers and translation steps can impact the security of the produced applications. One of the most well-known and often-used CPTs is Cordova, formerly known as PhoneGap. Cordova has, over the years, taken several steps to reduce the attack surface and introduced several mechanisms that allow developers to increase the security of Cordova applications. This paper gives a statistical overview of the adoption of Cordova security best practices and mechanisms in Cordova applications downloaded from the Google Play Store. For the analysis, over a thousand Cordova application were downloaded. The research shows that the poor adoption of these mechanisms leads to a significant number of insecure Cordova applications.

A Quantitative Assessment of Performance in Mobile App Development Tools

June 2015

The popularity and maturity of mobile cross-platform tools increased considerably during the last years. They can be used to increase the efficiency during the development cycle of mobile applications. Although it is common knowledge that cross-platform tools come with a performance penalty, the size of the overhead is unclear. Our study targets the assessment of two representative cross-platform ... [Show full abstract] tools. This paper presents a quantitative performance analysis that is applied to a non-trivial, multi-screen app. Relevant performance properties on both low-end and high-end devices are evaluated and compared to a native Android and iOS implementation. We further reflect about the impact of the results on the user acceptance and experience, and define guidelines for the selection of a particular tool.

The impact of cross-platform development approaches for mobile applications from the user's perspect...

November 2016

Mobile app developers today have a hard decision to make: to independently develop native apps for different operating systems or to develop an app that is cross-platform compatible. The availability of different tools and approaches to support cross-platform app development only makes the decision harder. In this study, we used user reviews of apps to empirically understand the relationship (if ... [Show full abstract] any) between the approach used in the development of an app and its perceived quality. We used Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to classify 787,228 user reviews of the Android version and iOS version of 50 apps as complaints in one of four quality concerns: performance, usability, security, and reliability. We found that hybrid apps (on both Android and iOS platforms) tend to be more prone to user complaints than interpreted/generated apps. In a study of Facebook, an app that underwent a change in development approach from hybrid to native, we found that change in the development approach was accompanied by a reduction in user complaints about performance and reliability.

A Mobile Data Application for the Fermi Mission

October 2013

T. E. Stephens

With the ever increasing use of smartphones and tablets among scientists and the world at large, it becomes increasingly important for projects and missions to have mobile friendly access to their data. This access could come in the form of mobile friendly websites and/or native mobile applications that allow the users to explore or access the data. The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope Mission has ... [Show full abstract] begun work along the latter path. In this poster I present the initial version of the Fermi Mobile Data Portal, a native application for both Android and iOS devices that allows access to various high level public data products from the Fermi Science Support Center (FSSC), the Gamma-ray Coordinate Network (GCN), and other sources. While network access is required to download data, most of the data served by the app are stored locally and are available even when a network connection is not available. This poster discusses the application's features as well as the development experience and lessons learned so far along the way.

Android vs. iOS Interaction Design Study for a Student Multiplatform App

July 2013

When aiming to develop a multiplatform mobile application or app there is a dichotomy between following each platform interaction philosophy and creating a common cross-platform interaction design. iOS and Android are the two most common mobile platforms used by university students, and they are the obvious choice when planning to develop a mobile app for students in just two platforms. We have ... [Show full abstract] compared the particularities of the interaction philosophy of both, and we have studied how four popular apps have addressed the contradiction between following each platform interaction philosophy and having a common interaction design between iOS and Android versions. The results show that there are three possible approaches for multiplatform interaction design, with different pros and cons.

Developing Mobile Apps Using Cross-Platform Frameworks: A Case Study

July 2013

In last few years, a huge variety of frameworks for the mobile cross-platform development have been released to deliver quick and overall better solutions. Most of them are based on different approaches and technologies; therefore, relying on only one for using in all cases is not recommendable. The diversity in smart-devices (i.e. smartphones and tablets) and in their hardware features; such as ... [Show full abstract] screen-resolution, processing power, etc.; as well as the availability of different mobile operating systems makes the process of mobile application development much complicated. In this work, we analyze few of these cross-platform development frameworks through developing three mobile apps on each of them as well as on the native Android and iOS environments. Moreover, we also performed a user evaluation study on these developed mobile apps to judge how users perceive the same mobile app developed in different frameworks and environments, from the native to the cross-platform environment. Results indicate that these frameworks are good alternative to the native platform implementations but a careful investigation is required before deciding to check whether the target framework supports the needed features in a stable way.

A STUDY AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COST EFFECTIVE FRAMEWORK FOR PLATFORM INDEPENDENT MOBILE BUSINESS APPL...

December 2015

Anitha Periyasamy

Users of mobile devices are scattered across several different operating systems, making it difficult for applications to reach a larger audience. We cannot reuse the same mobile application for all the mobile platforms due to their different programming languages. A mobile web application developed for i-Phone cannot be reused for Android platform handset due to different language and Platform ... [Show full abstract] difference. In this situation, if developers want to reach a widespread audience, they will have to write their application for each mobile platform, which is prohibitively costly in terms of both time and resources. Moreover, mobile developer needs a continuous learning of mobile languages. Therefore, the platform independent mobile application tools that provide more functionality in less time can solve this problem. Many platform independent frameworks help the mobile developers to implement the application, which would support more than one mobile operating system. In this paper, we are analyzing the native applications developed in two mobile platforms namely iOS and Android against the multiplatform development tool PhoneGap to accomplish a platform independent, unified user experience.
