The rise of progressive web applications (PWA) development has allowed users to apply technology in new ways for unique benefits, but native iOS or Android applications may still be more strategic to use for multiple reasons. In order to be sure that strategy is optimized in decision-making, planning, integration, and continuing use, developers and any stakeholders need to consider the full range of potential advantages and disadvantages. People considering selecting PWAs over native applications therefore need to consider the dynamics present in development, integration, and use in relation to the potential upsides and downsides of their intended operations. 

Creating a PWA involves many of the same aspects that are involved in developing a native iOS or Android application. PWAs have been evolving substantially over the past few years, and their structures have become supported in Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, and Apple internet browsers in addition to iPhone and iPad operating systems. PWA functions remain enabled when devices are offline, and while they appear and operate in manners comparable to native applications, they do not require the same steps in acquisition in addition to being more safe than native applications. The final created products are also generally smaller in terms of file sizes, and these are also generally less expensive and easier to create versus the creation of native applications. 

Use may involve further unique advantages over native applications, potentially making them more overall strategic for use. In addition to less demands in development, in user operation, their operational speed is also generally faster than that of iOS or Android software. There are also less app store-related restrictions, and still potential to have greater market reach. Meanwhile, however, the support of PWAs is still lower in comparison to native applications. Moreover, native applications have yet to fully support the full range of PWA features, potentially including notifications, GPS, scanners, cameras, and shortcuts. While this is expected to change similar to iPad and iPhone compatibility with further development, these areas can potentially be absolutely vital to operational planning, strategy, or requirements.

Considering potential advantages and disadvantages of native applications independently, they may be rationalized as critical in final decision making. Native applications have a broader range of customization potentials, and publication of an application can be done with fewer resources (including those involved in review processes not required for PWAs). They are generally most compatible in the current job market, are more fluid and responsive, and are more likely to be ideal for media applications amid the continuing improvements of PWAs. If these are not vital issues, users may consider disadvantages of slower speed and size, greater coding demands, greater device fragmentation, lower security capacities, and lower widget support to be more important aspects.

Overall, selecting PWA versus native application development can potentially depend on a vast range of dynnamics. An organization may require some applied research and analysis in order to properly determine the most strategic decision amid potential advantages or disadvantages. PWAs are expected to continue improving in ways that address these disadvantages, in addition to being more strategic for use in large social media websites as feature development continues, improving their potential to be the most strategic option. Naturally, potential users are recommended to remain current with literature and cutting-edge practices.
