Is using images for buttons in Mobile app development is a common thing?
-
I'm a designer and web developer. I have worked with 3-4 mobile app developers and all had the same issue. They want images for everything. So If I have a rounded button, they need image for that. If button has corners, then they can do it via code. Can't rounded button created using code. I haven't done mobile app development, so I'm not sure about it. But I think, we should avoid using images for Buttons, etc. as much as possible. My android developer even needs, images of Shadows, borders. Why they can't create shadows with code. If I ask, Why are you using images? They give a silly excuse, we are using Controls. And controls needs images. They are not using any advanced practices like using Fonts for Icons, SVG, latest material design interactions. But at the same time I do think, that 3-4 developers saying same thing, they can't be wrong. What's the truth guys? Please enlighten me on this.

But you are asking for opinions. In my opinion what the developers are asking for is quite reasonable. However, without knowing all the details of the product they are trying to create, that opinion is not based on anything concrete.
