CROSS-PLATFORM APP DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

Cross-platform development is typically a better choice when speed, cost efficiency, and multi-platform coverage are priorities. It works especially well for MVPs, business applications, and products that require frequent updates across platforms. Native development may be more appropriate for apps with highly platform-specific features or extreme performance requirements.

MobiDev works with frameworks such as Flutter, React Native, and .NET MAUI. The choice depends on factors like performance expectations, UI complexity, long-term scalability, integration requirements, and your existing technology ecosystem. The framework is selected during technical discovery to align with business and technical goals.

Yes. Modern cross-platform frameworks can deliver near-native performance and smooth user experiences when implemented correctly. MobiDev focuses on architecture design, platform-specific optimizations, and UI consistency to ensure the app behaves naturally on each operating system while sharing core logic across platforms.

Yes. Cross-platform development can be used to modernize legacy mobile applications or consolidate separate native codebases into a single, maintainable solution. The process typically includes code and architecture assessment, risk analysis, and gradual migration to avoid disruption for users.

Security and compliance are addressed throughout the development lifecycle, including architecture design, secure coding practices, and testing. MobiDev supports compliance with industry regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS when required, and applies security best practices to protect data across platforms.

Cross-platform app development services typically include technical discovery, business analysis, UI/UX design, application development, quality assurance, deployment, app publishing support, and ongoing maintenance. This end-to-end approach helps ensure consistency, scalability, and long-term stability of the product.

A dedicated development team works as an integrated unit focused entirely on your product, handling planning, development, and coordination. Team augmentation allows you to add cross-platform engineers to your existing team to fill skill or capacity gaps while keeping internal control over product direction.

The timeline for building a cross-platform mobile application depends on scope, complexity, integrations, and regulatory requirements. In practice, an MVP can often be delivered within 3–4 months, as demonstrated by MobiDev’s IoT home network management project, where the first usable version was released in approximately 3.5 months. 

More feature-rich products or modernization projects typically take 4–6 months for an initial release, followed by iterative development phases.

At the same time, delivery timelines may vary depending on the development approach. For some products, an AI-driven approach, such as AI MVP, can significantly accelerate certain phases of design, development, and validation. However, this approach is not universal and is applied selectively, depending on the product’s goals, technical constraints, and risk profile.

The decision is made during technical discovery by evaluating product goals, performance needs, platform requirements, long-term scalability, and budget constraints. In some cases, a hybrid approach or native development may be recommended if it better fits the product’s technical or business objectives.

Cross-platform app development has proven effective for companies across telecom, education, and fitness by enabling faster delivery, simplified maintenance, and scalable growth.

IoT Home Network Management App (Telecom / IoT)
MobiDev helped a European telecom provider build a cross-platform mobile app for managing home networks and IoT devices on iOS and Android. Using React Native, the team delivered an MVP within a few months while supporting advanced functionality such as parental controls, network diagnostics, and device setup. The solution enabled faster market entry and long-term maintainability.

Flutter-Based Learning App for Spanish (EdTech)
MobiDev developed a Flutter-based mobile app for a US education startup to complement an existing web learning platform. The cross-platform approach enabled rapid launch during the COVID-19 period and supported long-term growth without maintaining separate native codebases. The app became a core learning tool with continuous feature improvements.

Fitness App Modernization and Migration to React Native (Wellness & Fitness)
MobiDev modernized a legacy fitness application by migrating it to React Native, improving stability, security, and maintainability. After migration, the platform scaled to support over one million users and tens of thousands of fitness businesses, demonstrating the long-term viability of a cross-platform approach.
