SAP Mobile Development Kit (MDK)
The SAP Mobile Development Kit enables development of multi-channel applications from low-code to pro-code. It allows you to build your application once, in an integrated development environment, and run it natively on mobile devices (Android & iOS) and as a web application (online) in the browser.
The Mobile Development Kit for SAP Mobile Services is a metadata-based application development platform.
The Mobile Development Kit provides the power and performance of a native app. By generating metadata and JavaScript in the editor, which is translated to native code at runtime, you build your app once, deploy it to SAP Mobile Services, and your end users get a native iOS or Android app on their device. The same metadata can also be deployed to the Web to run the same application in the browser
