What is a cross-platform app?

Cross-platform apps are those that are designed to work across various platforms.

These applications are compatible with several operating systems, including iOS and Android. Over the last few years, we've seen a number of advancements in mobile computer technologies. Mobile devices are now accessible in a range of shapes and sizes, including watches, smartphones, and tablets.

Apps that are available for a wide range of mobile devices have the potential to reach a broad user base. One method for developing apps for many platforms is to create customized versions of apps for each platform, such as a distinct app for Android, iOS, and Windows devices. This method, however, results in many versions of the app's code-base that are difficult to maintain and evolve over time.

Why should you develop cross-platform apps?

Native development builds high-performance software, but it can be expensive to create. Cross-platform app development can be appropriate for your company if you have a limited budget to operate with.

Developer thinking that an app for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices written natively can be high-performing but expensive.

Same app, any device

You might own various devices, such as a phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop computer, yet they don't all use the same operating system.

What you want is a consistent user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), while adhering to platform-specific features. It is a tremendous benefit for you to have a single program that can operate on different devices with consistent UI/UX components.

Any platform support

It could be too expensive for your company to have two separate teams working on each platform, each with their own set of development tools.

Cross-platform app development allows your business to release new applications at the same time. You can have one team build applications for all platforms if you have the correct set of cross-platform technologies.

Broad user reach

Your app can be designed and launched on different platforms at the same time. As a result, your software will have a wider reach and a better chance of reaching your app users.

Reduced development cost

Build an early version of your software and test it in the market to see how it is received.

Your company just has to invest once in cross-platform mobile app development to get your software built and prototyped. You no longer need to spend money building apps for each platform independently.

Reusable code

Cross-platform apps enable your business to be more effective and productive by sharing code. Instead of developing code from scratch for each platform during the development process, your company can reuse the same code across all platforms.

The majority of the code is reusable and can be implemented once and used across several platforms.

Quick prototyping

Prototyping guarantees that your app is on the correct track and that the concept is gradually coming to life.

When a single script is used to construct a program, it is generally more efficient. Increased development speed results in the early release of your app to your users.

Cross-platform app maintenance

Maintenance covers both bug fixes and enhancements to your software. With cross-platform apps, you only have one codebase to worry about.

This enables testing and deploying fixes and upgrades across all devices easier and faster.

Uniform app design and experience

In order to maintain consistency in the design of your app, having a single codebase that compiles to multiple platforms is a huge advantage. Maintaining a consistent look and feel of your software across all platforms becomes a much simpler process because the same set of coding is used.

It is ideal for your consumers to utilize a single app that looks and feels the same across all devices.

Our Cross-platform App Development Process

Planning and App Requirement Analysis

The first step in the cross-platform app development process is to define your plan for turning your concept into a successful app. This step entails identifying your app's users, defining the aims and objectives of your software, and picking a mobile platform for your app.

Identifying the expertise required for your app development endeavor is a part of the planning step. The iOS and Android mobile systems, for example, have separate development technology stacks. If you want to create a mobile app for both the iOS and Android platforms, your mobile development team should include developers that are knowledgeable with both systems.

Wireframing

A wireframe for a cross-platform app is a two-dimensional sketch that serves as a visual guide and illustrates how an application will function. A wireframe essentially represents the core panels and interface pieces of an application, not the whole design. A wireframe is used to agree on and explain the overall direction and scope of a project.

A decent cross-platform app wireframe should at the very least depict your content structure, app navigation, potential app user interactions, app features, and transitions between app pages. In essence, anybody should be able to recognize the many features that will be integrated into your app just by looking at a wireframe.

UI/UX Design

UX and UI are extremely crucial in software development, so much so that they should be prioritized in cross-platform app development. The application must be usable and, to the greatest degree possible, self-guided.

A responsive UX/UI design is required for an app that will be viewed on several devices. The experience should be the same whether a user is on a PC or a mobile phone. Responsive design allows the interface to adjust to multiple screen sizes without affecting usability or navigation.

UX/UI design is critical to the success of your final project. If you don't take the time to do this element of cross-platform application development effectively, the software you end up with will not be one that your users like working with or find easy to use.

Prototyping

Prototypes are extremely beneficial for mimicking the user experience and processes of your cross-platform app that will be delivered in the final product. Prototyping allows you to test the design and functioning of your app at an early stage.

Prototypes frequently aid in the identification of changes to your app's projected functionality. They are experimental in nature, which allows you to evaluate design ideas and assumptions, as well as readily improve and adjust your design concept.

Prototypes can be exhibited to numerous individuals for testing and input, and your users will be able to see how your software concept will look once it is realized.

App Coding and Development

Planning is still an important element of the cross-platform app development process at this stage.

Before you begin coding and programming, you must describe your app's technical architecture, select a technology stack, and set development milestones. Back-end programming, API(s) integration, and mobile app front-end programming are all common steps in the app development process.

With new versions of mobile platforms, mobile technologies progress significantly quicker. Every few months, new mobile gadgets are introduced. With platforms and devices continuously evolving, agility is critical for developing mobile apps on time and under budget.

Defining development milestones as part of an agile development plan aids in the iterative development of your cross-platform application.

QA and Testing

Because mobile applications sometimes lack the processing capacity of a personal computer or laptop, certain testing must be performed to assure optimum performance.

A desktop experience is vastly different from a mobile one, which is typically owing to a mobile device's restricted resources in comparison to a desktop or laptop computer. It is critical to review your cross-platform app's quality assurance and testing.

Because of the many software dimensions such as different platforms, hosting, user interface libraries, performance, and security risks, it is generally recommended to adopt several testing methodologies.

Thorough quality assurance (QA) testing during the cross-platform development process ensures that your product is reliable, usable, and safe.

Deployment

Using a cross-platform development method implies that if you create a single app, you can target people on both the iOS and Android platforms. Mobile app deployment is a critical factor in determining the success of your cross-platform application.

The deployment platform chosen has a huge influence on the user experience. As a result, before deploying your application, it is critical to understand the fundamentals of deployment.

Continuous integration (CI) involves routinely merging your app's code to the mainline (shared repository), generally several times per day. The modifications are then subjected to a series of automated software tests to ensure the completeness and integrity of your application.

Continuous deployment guarantees that the new workable system gets introduced to the mainline after the modifications have been evaluated and everything is in place and working. This procedure distributes the updated version of your program to your end users.
