Cross-Platform Builds
One codebase, two stores. The pragmatic choice when your app is mostly screens and data rather than deep platform trickery.
What this actually is
One codebase serving both stores, so a fix ships everywhere instead of twice.
We build cross-platform apps in React Native or Flutter, depending on what your team already knows and what the app has to do. One codebase produces an iOS build and an Android build. A bug gets fixed once. A feature gets written once. For most business apps — accounts, listings, bookings, dashboards, payments — the user cannot tell the difference, and your budget can.
The honest caveat: shared does not mean identical. Some things still have to be written twice — push notification setup, in-app purchases, anything touching the operating system directly. We architect for that from the start, keeping the shared layer wide and leaving clean seams where native code has to go. And we tell you before we start if your app is the wrong fit.
How we work
Four steps, in this order.
Assess
Check the app is a good fit for cross-platform before committing to it.
Architect
Shared logic, with room to go native where a platform demands it.
Build
One team, one codebase, two stores kept in step.
Verify
Test the same flows on both platforms and fix the gaps that appear.
What you get
Every engagement hands over these.
- One shared codebase producing signed iOS and Android builds
- A written fit assessment naming what must stay native
- Automated build setup your team can run without us
- A parity checklist showing the same flows verified on both platforms
Who it’s for
This is usually the right fit when…
- You need both stores covered but only have the budget and team for one build.
- Your app is mostly forms, lists and API calls — a wrapper around a service you already run.
- You are tired of a fix landing on Android in one release and iOS in the next.
Questions
The things people ask before starting.
Will it feel like a real app or like a website in a box?
Like a real app, when it is built properly. React Native renders genuine native components; Flutter draws its own and compiles to machine code. Neither is a web page in a wrapper. Where the seams show is heavy animation, complex gestures and long media-heavy lists. If your app lives in that territory, we will steer you native instead.
React Native or Flutter — how do you choose?
By what surrounds the app, not by preference. If your web product is already React and your developers write JavaScript, React Native keeps the team on one language and lets some logic move across. If the app is standalone and the interface is custom and tightly designed, Flutter usually gets there with less fighting. We recommend one and explain why.
Can you convert our existing native app to one codebase?
Sometimes, and it is rarely worth doing wholesale. Rewriting a working app buys you no new features and reintroduces bugs you already fixed. The better case is a screen-by-screen migration, or using cross-platform only for new modules. We will assess the existing app first and tell you plainly if the answer is to leave it alone.
