Is a hybrid app the same as a cross platform app

Not exactly. Both reuse code, but cross platform frameworks often render with native widgets or a high performance engine, while many hybrid stacks render in a webview inside a native shell.

Can a hybrid app use push notifications and background tasks

Yes. Use native plugins or modules to connect your JavaScript layer with notifications, background fetch, and other system services.

Will users notice that my app is hybrid

If you design with platform patterns, keep interactions smooth, and optimize startup time, most users will not notice or care.

Can I publish a hybrid app to both stores

Yes. Hybrid apps are packaged as standard iOS and Android binaries and pass store review like any other app.

When should I avoid hybrid

If your app relies on advanced 3D graphics, very low latency audio, or complex animations at high frame rates, a fully native or certain cross platform engines are better suited.
