Cross-Platform App Development
Why Choose Cross-Platform Development?
Cross-Platform Frameworks We Use
Native vs Cross-Platform
Key iOS Features We Implement
Our Development Process
Analyze your requirements to choose the best framework—React Native, Flutter, or Ionic.
Create adaptive designs that look native on both iOS and Android platforms.
Build the app with shared codebase, platform-specific customizations where needed.
Test on both iOS and Android devices, automated tests, beta testing.
Submit to both App Store and Play Store simultaneously.
Monitor both platforms, fix issues, update for new OS versions.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How does cross-platform performance compare to native?
Modern cross-platform frameworks like React Native and Flutter deliver near-native performance (90-95%) for most apps. The difference is negligible for content-driven apps, business apps, and social media. Only graphics-intensive games or apps with heavy animations might benefit from fully native development.
- Which framework should I choose: React Native or Flutter?
React Native is ideal if you have web developers (JavaScript knowledge), need a large ecosystem of libraries, or want to share code with web apps. Flutter excels at custom UI designs, provides better performance out-of-the-box, and has excellent developer tooling. We help you choose based on your specific needs.
- Can I access native device features?
Yes! Cross-platform frameworks provide access to all major device features: camera, GPS, biometric authentication, push notifications, sensors, etc. For rare cases where features aren’t available, we can write native modules.
- How much code is actually shared between platforms?
Typically 90-95% of code is shared. Platform-specific code is only needed for UI adjustments to match platform conventions, native API integrations, and platform-specific features. This still provides massive savings over building two separate apps.
- Will my app look the same on iOS and Android?
We can build apps that either share identical UI or adapt to platform conventions. Most clients choose adaptive designs that feel native on each platform while maintaining consistent branding and functionality.
- Can I later migrate to native if needed?
Yes, though it requires significant redevelopment. Most apps never need to migrate—cross-platform works great long-term. We recommend starting with cross-platform to validate your idea, then consider native only if you have specific performance needs that require it.
- How are updates handled?
Updates are developed once and deployed to both platforms simultaneously. We submit to both App Store and Play Store at the same time, keeping your apps in sync across platforms.
- What about maintenance costs?
Maintenance costs are 40-50% lower than native apps since you’re maintaining one codebase instead of two. Updates, bug fixes, and new features are implemented once for both platforms.
