Service

One Flutter codebase, shipped to iOS and Android without the compromise

Most business apps — the ones built around forms, lists, dashboards, and API calls rather than deep platform integration — don't need two separate native codebases to feel good on both platforms. Flutter compiles one Dart codebase to iOS and Android, which halves the ongoing maintenance surface compared to native development, without a meaningful difference in performance for the majority of business use cases.

Business problems this solves

  • Two native codebases have become expensive to keep at feature parity
  • Budget doesn't support building and maintaining separate iOS and Android teams
  • An app needs to ship on both platforms with a single, tight release cadence
  • A previous cross-platform build feels visibly slower or less polished than a native app

Core deliverables

  • A single Flutter codebase shipping to both the App Store and Google Play
  • A shared design system so both platforms stay visually consistent as the app grows
  • Store submission for both platforms, including platform-specific listing requirements
  • Crash reporting and analytics configured across both platforms from one integration

Key features

Native-feeling navigation and animation tuned per platform where conventions differ
Offline-first data handling with background sync
Push notifications and deep linking working consistently across both platforms
A single codebase that keeps new features shipping to both platforms at once

Our process for this service

Step 1

Validate Flutter fits the requirements

We check the app doesn't depend on hardware access Flutter's plugin ecosystem can't yet cover well.

Step 2

Build the core workflow first

The primary user journey is built and tested on both platforms before secondary features.

Step 3

Test on real devices, both platforms

QA runs on physical iOS and Android devices throughout, not just a single reference device per platform.

Step 4

Submit to both stores together

Coordinated submission keeps the release timeline aligned across platforms instead of staggered.

Benefits

  • One engineering team and one release cadence instead of two parallel codebases
  • Meaningfully lower long-term maintenance cost than dual native development
  • Feature parity across iOS and Android by default, not by extra coordination effort
  • A design system shared across platforms, keeping the app visually consistent

Frequently asked questions

For the large majority of business apps — anything built around forms, lists, dashboards, and API calls — the performance difference isn't something users notice. Apps leaning heavily on advanced hardware access are the exception; see our Mobile App Development page for how we evaluate that during discovery.
