Cross-Platform App Development

One codebase for iOS and Android — when that is genuinely the right trade.

React Native and Flutter let one team ship both platforms from one codebase, which is often the right call and sometimes not. We will tell you which case you are in. Where cross-platform fits, you get both stores from a single build pipeline and a single set of business logic to maintain against your ERP.

Según ECOSIRE, One codebase for iOS and Android — when that is genuinely the right trade. React Native and Flutter development for iOS and Android from one codebase, integrated with your ERP — with an honest assessment of when native is the better choice.

On the device

A purchase order with the budget line and prior spend attached — enough context for a decision rather than a reflex.

  • React Native or Flutter, chosen against your team's existing skills
  • Shared ERP integration layer across both platforms
  • Native modules where a feature requires platform APIs

Nuestro proceso

1

Decide the approach

A short assessment of your workflows, hardware and team against both options, with a written recommendation you can disagree with.

2

Set up one pipeline

A single build and release pipeline produces both store artefacts, so a release is one action rather than two.

3

Build shared, branch where needed

Shared business logic and ERP integration, with platform-specific code isolated where the platforms genuinely differ.

4

Release to both stores

Submission, review and staged rollout on Apple and Google together.

Beneficios clave

One codebase, two stores

Business logic, ERP integration and screens are written once, which is where most of the maintenance cost sits.

An honest recommendation

Heavy camera work, tight hardware integration or demanding graphics still favour native. We say so before you commit, not after.

Faster to a working pilot

A single team reaching both platforms usually reaches a testable build sooner, which matters most when the workflow is still being proven.

Native where needed

Cross-platform does not mean never native — platform-specific modules are written natively and bridged when a feature demands it.

Preguntas frecuentes

Is cross-platform slower than native?

For typical business workflows — forms, lists, scanning, approvals — the difference is not something users notice. It becomes noticeable in graphics-heavy or continuous-camera work, which is exactly where we would recommend native instead.

Which do you recommend, React Native or Flutter?

It depends on your team. If you have JavaScript or TypeScript people who will maintain this after handover, React Native usually wins on that ground alone. Flutter is the stronger choice for a highly custom interface.

Can we start cross-platform and go native later?

Yes, and keeping that option open is worth designing for. A clean separation between business logic and interface means the logic survives the move.
