Cross-platform app development services

Vakoms is a cross-platform app development company creating custom software with React Native, Ionic, Flutter, and Qt. We offer cross-platform application development for startups, small to medium businesses, and enterprises.

Cross-platform apps are developed for multiple platforms or software environments. Unlike native app development which requires a separate development process for each platform, cross-platform development allows writing code that will run on several platforms. Successful cross-platform apps function as seamlessly as native apps so the target audience may notice no differences while using the app. Cross-platform development is the most optimal choice for relatively simple apps. This solution will help you maximize your reach while saving development time and costs.

Our team covers you if you need a cross-platform mobile application with complex functionality and high app performance.

Benefits of cross-platform solutions

Higher ROI and saved budget

Using one technology and design reduces the working hours required to get the final product on all operating systems. As a result, you pay less and can get more by reaching all customers at once.

Faster time-to-market

The cross-platform development services help you enter the market sooner. Instead of creating a separate app for each platform, you get one app running on all platforms. This way you can start getting most of your project faster.

Reduced app development cost

Hiring a single cross-platform team is more cost-effective than having a dedicated development department for each operating system you target. In this case, choosing cross-platform app development services is a wise decision and is completely justified.

Cross-platform scalability

A cross-platform app can be adapted to work on computers with no change in code. It’s a perfect solution for projects that you plan to scale in the future. The app won’t need to be developed from scratch: the codebase is packaged for the desktop and is good to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cross-platform app development?

Cross-platform app development is the creation of apps, compatible with multiple platforms. The compatibility is not limited to mobile devices: cross-platform desktop app development allows broadening the app scope to Windows OS and even macOS devices. Unlike native apps which are compatible with a particular operating system, cross-platform apps have a single codebase that can run on multiple platforms.

How much does cross-platform app development cost?

The cross-platform development cost depends on the app’s scope, programming languages, tech stack, the number of operating systems that need to be covered, and other aspects. In many cases, cross-platform mobile development is more cost-efficient than developing apps using native frameworks.

How do you keep my cross-platform app data secure?

Our cross-platform application development company uses multiple ways to keep the app data secure. Any sensitive data is stored on a server, not in the app. The protected data is encrypted and is not stored as text making it harder to steal or misuse the information. In addition, each cross-platform framework has security algorithms that protect the source code and any sensitive data that the app can collect from the app users.

How do cross-platform apps work?

To put it simply, there are native cross-platform apps and hybrid apps, both can work on multiple device platforms. Native cross-platform development is when engineers write a single codebase which then is “translated” into the native code of each operating system where the app should work. Hybrid apps are web apps wrapped into a native shell and run within a mobile browser. Both app types can have the look and feel of native apps.

How does it compare to native development?

Cross-platform mobile development services allow the creation of a single codebase for multiple platforms (iOS, Android) using frameworks like Flutter or React Native, reducing development time and cost. Native development involves building separate apps for each platform using platform-specific languages: Swift for iOS, Kotlin or Java for Android.
