Cross-platform development can provide an efficient way to launch mobile applications across both iOS and Android.
Cube Digital Media designs and develops cross-platform apps that combine a consistent user experience with scalable technology and streamlined development.
From product planning and UX design to integration, testing and store deployment, we create mobile applications built around your users and business objectives.
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:
The technology should always follow the product requirement.
We support the complete cross-platform development lifecycle, from initial idea through to launch and ongoing improvement.
We develop applications using modern cross-platform technologies that allow core functionality to be shared across multiple operating systems.
Services Include:
A cross-platform app should feel intuitive regardless of the device being used.
We design user journeys and interfaces that provide a consistent brand experience while respecting the behaviour and conventions of each platform.
Services Include:
Cross-platform applications often need to connect with websites, CRM systems and other business platforms.
We can integrate apps with:
Connected systems can improve both customer experience and operational efficiency.
Cross-platform development can be particularly effective for businesses launching an MVP.
A shared development approach can help bring the core product to both iOS and Android users without immediately maintaining two separate codebases.
MVP Services Can Include:
Cross-platform development can offer several advantages where the technical requirements are suitable.
Shared functionality can reduce duplication between iOS and Android development.
Maintain a common design and product experience across platforms.
Updates can often be managed from a shared development environment.
Launch across both major mobile operating systems.
Test a new product across a broader user base.
New functionality can often be introduced across both platforms more efficiently.
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:
Cube Digital Media recommends the development approach after understanding the product rather than applying the same technology to every project.
Give customers easier access to services, accounts and support across both iOS and Android.
Create mobile shopping experiences connected with products, payments and customer accounts.
Support appointments, scheduling, availability and notifications.
Provide secure access to subscription and membership services.
Improve workforce processes, field operations and internal communication.
Launch new ideas and MVPs across multiple mobile platforms.
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:
Store requirements should be considered throughout development rather than only at the end.
We understand the product, target users and business objectives.
We map functionality, user journeys, integrations and the most appropriate technical approach.
We create wireframes, prototypes and interfaces for the cross-platform experience.
We build the application, backend functionality and required integrations.
We test across relevant iOS and Android devices before store submission.
After launch, we can support updates, new features and ongoing product development.
A mobile app often sits within a much larger digital ecosystem.
Cube Digital Media combines cross-platform app development with UX design, web development, CRM, ecommerce and systems integration.
We can support your business with:
Our focus is not simply on building one codebase. It is on creating a mobile product that works effectively across platforms and continues delivering value after launch.
Search is changing, but the fundamentals of effective digital strategy remain the same: understand the audience, create useful information, build authority and measure what matters.
Our clients trust Cube Digital Media to combine digital strategy, technical expertise and ongoing optimisation around their wider commercial objectives.

Cross-platform app development uses a shared development framework to create applications that can run across multiple operating systems, typically iOS and Android.
Potential benefits include faster development, shared functionality, simpler maintenance and the ability to reach both iOS and Android users from one development approach.
It can be more cost-efficient for suitable projects because less functionality needs to be developed separately for each platform.
The actual cost depends on the app’s complexity and technical requirements.
No.
Some applications may benefit from dedicated native development due to performance, device functionality or platform-specific requirements.
Yes.
Modern cross-platform frameworks can access many device capabilities, including cameras, location services, notifications and payments, depending on the technology and project requirements.
Yes.
Cross-platform development can be particularly suitable for MVPs where businesses want to validate a product across both iOS and Android.
Yes.
Applications can connect with CRM platforms, websites, payment systems and other services where appropriate APIs or integration methods are available.
Yes.
We can support preparation and submission to both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Yes.
We can provide ongoing maintenance, feature development, updates and technical support as the application evolves.
Whether you are launching an MVP, developing a customer app or creating a new digital product, Cube Digital Media can help determine whether cross-platform development is the right approach.
We combine product strategy, UX design, development and systems integration to create mobile applications built around real users and long-term business objectives.
