Cross-platform app
Definition
A cross-platform app is a mobile app built from one codebase — for example with React Native or Flutter — that runs on both iOS and Android.
Example
A delivery service builds one app in React Native and publishes it both in the App Store and in Google Play, instead of paying for two separate apps.
Common mistakes
- Assuming it never needs platform-specific work: some features still need native code.
- Forgetting the store rules and review times when planning a launch date.
- Building an app when customers only need a fast mobile website.
