Cross-platform development
Shared-code applications across web, Android, iOS and desktop using React Native, Flutter, Expo, Electron and Tauri.
One codebase, several platforms, without a second-class experience on any of them.
5 deliverables, a 4-stage approach and 6 related technologies.
Overview
Cross-platform development can halve the cost of reaching several platforms — or create an app that feels foreign everywhere. The difference is in deciding what to share and what to keep platform-specific.
We share business logic, data access and design tokens aggressively, while respecting platform conventions for navigation, gestures, accessibility and system integration.
What we deliver
- Shared core packages (logic, API client, validation)
- Platform-specific UI where conventions differ
- Build and release pipelines for each target
- Design tokens shared across web and native
- Device test matrix and results

- 02
Create a shared contracts package for API types
- 03
Automate per-platform builds from one repository
- 04
Test accessibility on each platform separately
Things to consider
Questions worth answering before you commit budget.
- Some native features need platform code; budget for it.
- Framework upgrades affect every platform at once and should be scheduled.
- App size and start-up time need active monitoring.
