Is Mobile device apps are fall into the category of Client Side Application Framework?

As the question stated above.

Since the app is installed after download the package, so all request is just about data transmission from server to the app, vice versa.

Am I right.

Thanks

Apps generally run in an environment that is permanent to the device. A framework would normally be something that supports something more transient, like the code from a server that only stays in your device while you are running it.

There's certainly a lot of overlap in the concepts, but in general I think permanent vs. transient (or where does it reside while not being used) makes the difference.

Happy coding!   -sp:sparkles:
