Companies launching on iOS and Android together
Use a shared product and code foundation to reduce duplicated delivery while maintaining platform-appropriate behaviour.
Shared-codebase iOS and Android products using React Native or Flutter
Cross-platform mobile app development
Rokad builds cross-platform mobile applications that share product and engineering foundations while preserving platform quality, performance, and native integration.
Designed for / 01
A focused delivery model for the organisations that need it.
Cross-platform development can improve delivery economics when product requirements, device capabilities, team structure, and performance expectations support it. Rokad designs React Native or Flutter applications with platform-aware UX, native modules, backend integration, testing, releases, and long-term maintenance.
Product teams replacing two diverging applications
Consolidate shared capabilities, design systems, business logic, testing, and release practices where it creates value.
Web teams expanding into mobile
Build a mobile-specific experience while sharing suitable types, APIs, design tokens, validation, and domain logic.
Challenges / 02
The problems this service is built to solve.
Code sharing is treated as the only objective
Excessive abstraction can reduce platform quality, complicate native capabilities, and create framework-specific technical debt.
Native dependencies become the release bottleneck
SDK changes, permissions, build systems, plugins, signing, and store policies still require platform expertise.
The application behaves like a wrapped website
Navigation, gestures, offline use, lifecycle, accessibility, notifications, and device capabilities need mobile-specific design.
Capabilities / 03
What Rokad can deliver.
01
React Native and Flutter product architecture
02
Platform-aware UX, navigation, components, and design systems
03
Authentication, APIs, payments, notifications, deep links, and analytics
04
Offline storage, synchronisation, background work, and conflict handling
05
Camera, location, Bluetooth, files, biometrics, sensors, and native modules
06
Automated testing, build pipelines, signing, store release, and staged rollout
07
Crash reporting, performance, updates, version support, and managed maintenance
Solution components / 04
The system behind the visible product.
Shared product core
Domain logic, data access, validation, state, design tokens, components, tests, and cross-platform workflows.
Platform adaptation
Navigation, permissions, lifecycle, accessibility, keyboard, gestures, device APIs, builds, and store behaviour.
Backend and device integration
Identity, APIs, storage, notifications, deep links, payments, analytics, native modules, and offline synchronisation.
Release operation
Builds, signing, environments, testing, store submission, staged rollout, crashes, updates, and compatibility.
Use cases / 05
Where this capability creates practical leverage.
Customer service application
Deliver account, transaction, booking, communication, content, loyalty, and support workflows on both platforms.
Marketplace or commerce application
Support discovery, listings, cart, booking, payment, messaging, order status, fulfilment, and notifications.
Field operations application
Capture data, images, location, tasks, evidence, approvals, and offline work across a distributed workforce.
Companion application
Connect users to devices, subscriptions, configuration, telemetry, support, firmware, and cloud services.
Architecture and integration / 06
Designed to fit the wider technology environment.
Shared-versus-native boundary
Share stable product logic and interface patterns while isolating platform-specific capabilities and release concerns.
Offline-first decisions
Define local authority, synchronisation, conflicts, queued actions, expiry, security, and user feedback where connectivity is unreliable.
Framework lifecycle
Plan dependency, SDK, plugin, operating-system, build-tool, and store-policy upgrades as ongoing product operations.
Quality and control / 07
Production requirements are part of the build.
Platform-appropriate experience
Navigation, interaction, accessibility, permissions, lifecycle behaviour, and device capabilities follow the expectations of each platform.
Release reliability
Automated builds, test coverage, signing, staged rollout, crash reporting, version support, and rollback planning reduce release risk.
Secure mobile operation
Local data, authentication, API access, secrets, device permissions, offline behaviour, and telemetry are designed around the threat model.
Delivery / 08
A controlled path from requirement to operation.
Discover
Clarify the business outcome, users, workflows, constraints, dependencies, risks, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Architect
Define the system boundaries, data, integrations, security, operating model, delivery sequence, and technical decisions.
Build and validate
Deliver in controlled increments with stakeholder review, automated testing, documentation, and production-quality engineering.
Deploy and improve
Launch safely, establish observability and support, then improve the system using operational evidence and user feedback.
Typical deliverables

FAQ
Cross-platform mobile app development
Scope, ownership, assumptions, delivery, security, and long-term operation are clarified before work begins.
01Should we use React Native or Flutter?
Should we use React Native or Flutter?
The decision depends on team capabilities, existing code, UI requirements, native integrations, ecosystem, performance, long-term ownership, and product roadmap. We evaluate both against the actual application.
02Will the app look and behave correctly on both platforms?
Will the app look and behave correctly on both platforms?
Yes. We share appropriate product foundations while adapting navigation, components, permissions, accessibility, lifecycle, and interaction to iOS and Android expectations.
03Can cross-platform apps use native device features?
Can cross-platform apps use native device features?
Yes. We can integrate supported libraries or develop native modules for camera, Bluetooth, location, biometrics, files, sensors, background work, and other platform capabilities.
04Can Rokad migrate existing native apps to one codebase?
Can Rokad migrate existing native apps to one codebase?
Yes, where the economics and product requirements justify it. We map shared features, platform-specific behaviour, backend contracts, data, releases, and staged user migration.
Mobile app development
Use one product foundation without flattening the differences between iOS and Android.
Rokad can assess cross-platform suitability, select the framework, and deliver the application through store operation.
