Cross-Platform App Development

Reach iOS and Android Users With
One Development Approach

Building separate native applications is not always necessary.

Cross-platform development can allow businesses to support both iOS and Android through a shared codebase, helping simplify development, maintenance and future updates.

We assess whether this approach is appropriate based on:

  • App Functionality
  • User Experience
  • Performance Requirements
  • Device Features
  • Integrations
  • Project Budget
  • Development Timescale
  • Future Roadmap
  • Scalability
  • Ongoing Support

The technology should always follow the product requirement.

MVP Services Can Include:

  • Product Discovery
  • Feature Prioritisation
  • Wireframes
  • Clickable Prototypes
  • Core Functionality
  • User Accounts

Build an MVP

Why Choose Cross-Platform Development?

A Practical Approach for Many App Projects

Cross-platform development can offer several advantages where the technical requirements are suitable.

Faster Development

Shared functionality can reduce duplication between iOS and Android development.

Consistent User Experience

Maintain a common design and product experience across platforms.

Simplified Maintenance

Updates can often be managed from a shared development environment.

Wider Audience

Launch across both major mobile operating systems.

Efficient MVP Development

Test a new product across a broader user base.

Easier Feature Rollout

New functionality can often be introduced across both platforms more efficiently.

Native or Cross-Platform?

Choose the Right Approach
for the Product

Cross-platform development is not automatically the best solution for every app.

Some projects may benefit from dedicated native iOS or Android development, particularly where specialist device functionality, complex performance requirements or platform-specific experiences are important.

We consider:

  • Required Features
  • Performance
  • User Experience
  • Device Capabilities
  • Budget
  • Timescale
  • Long-Term Roadmap
  • Maintenance Requirements

Cube Digital Media recommends the development approach after understanding the product rather than applying the same technology to every project.

Cross-Platform Apps for Different Business Models

Flexible Across Different Use Cases

Customer Apps

Give customers easier access to services, accounts and support across both iOS and Android.

Ecommerce Apps

Create mobile shopping experiences connected with products, payments and customer accounts.

Booking Apps

Support appointments, scheduling, availability and notifications.

Membership Apps

Provide secure access to subscription and membership services.

Internal Business Apps

Improve workforce processes, field operations and internal communication.

New Digital Products

App Store & Google Play Launch

Prepare for Both Major App Stores

Cross-platform applications still need to meet the individual requirements of Apple and Google.

We can support preparation and submission across both platforms.

This can include:

  • Apple App Store Preparation
  • Google Play Preparation
  • Store Listings
  • Screenshots
  • Metadata
  • Build Submission
  • Compliance Checks
  • Testing
  • Launch Support
  • Analytics Setup

Store requirements should be considered throughout development rather than only at the end.
