What We Do

Cross Platform App Development Services

From consulting through launch — every service you need to build, ship, and grow a successful mobile app.

Cross Platform App Consulting

We help businesses make the right architecture and platform decisions before development begins. Our consultants assess your product requirements, target users, and business goals to recommend the development approach — cross platform or native — that gives you the best outcome.

If cross platform is the right fit, we define which framework, which architecture, and which development approach suits your product specifically. We completely understand that your business requirements must be unique, and so should your cross-platform app.

React Native App Development

React Native is our primary framework for cross platform app development when the project benefits from JavaScript's ecosystem, web team alignment, or strong third-party library support. We build React Native applications that perform reliably on both iOS and Android, with clean architecture and a codebase that is easy to maintain and extend.

React Native's component-based architecture, combined with its ability to access native device APIs directly, makes it a strong choice for a wide range of business mobile applications, from customer-facing consumer apps to internal enterprise tools.

State management with Redux or Zustand
Navigation architecture and deep linking
Backend and API integration
Push notifications and background processing
App Store and Google Play submission

Flutter App Development

Flutter is our preferred framework when visual consistency and UI performance are the top priority. Flutter renders its own UI components rather than relying on platform UI elements, which means your app looks and behaves identically on iOS and Android. It is also significantly faster to build complex, animated interfaces in Flutter than in most alternatives.

Flutter's performance characteristics are strong — it compiles to native ARM code — and Google's continued investment in the platform makes it a stable, long-term technology choice.

Cross Platform UI/UX Design

Designing for cross platform requires thinking about two platforms simultaneously. We design mobile interfaces that feel natural to users on both iOS and Android — respecting each platform's conventions while maintaining a consistent brand experience across both.

Our design process produces a unified design system that works across platforms, reducing design complexity without producing something that feels generic or out of place on either platform.

Platform-aware UI/UX design
Shared design system and component library
iOS Human Interface Guidelines and Android Material Design alignment
User flow and journey mapping
Wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes
Accessibility across platforms
Usability testing on iOS and Android devices

Cross Platform MVP Development

If you are validating a mobile product idea, cross platform development is often the most sensible approach. You reach users on both major platforms from a single build, at a fraction of the cost of building two native apps. We scope cross platform MVPs around your core user need, build them properly, and get them to market fast.

Cross Platform App Integration Services

Mobile apps need to connect with payment systems, analytics tools, CRMs, backend databases, and third-party APIs. We handle all of these integrations as part of our cross platform app development services, ensuring your app works reliably within your existing business ecosystem.

Payment gateway integrations (Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay)
CRM and ERP system connections
Social login and authentication (OAuth, Firebase Auth)
Push notification services (Firebase Cloud Messaging)
Analytics and crash reporting integrations
Custom REST and GraphQL API connections

Cross Platform App Testing and QA

Testing a cross platform app means testing on both platforms — across multiple OS versions, screen sizes, and device types. Our QA process is structured to cover this complexity, catching platform-specific issues before they reach your users.

Functional and regression testing on iOS and Android
Performance and memory testing per platform
Device and OS version compatibility testing
UI consistency testing across platforms
Security and data privacy assessments
App Store and Google Play compliance testing

Cross Platform App Maintenance and Support

Native vs Cross Platform: How to Decide

One of the first decisions Primus's clients face when building a mobile app is whether to go native or cross platform. It is an important decision, and the right answer depends on your:

business goals
existing and future product(s)
current and planned users
monetization model
development budget and timeline

Cross platform development means building one app and using it for both platforms:

You get maximum platform integration and absolute performance.
You get two apps for the price of ONE
You can choose to build two separate codebases in future if you'd like.

Modern cross platform frameworks like React Native and Flutter have closed the performance gap with native significantly.

Build one app. Reach both platforms.

Cross platform development gives you the reach of two native apps at a fraction of the time and cost. Let's talk about your project.

Technology

Our Tech Stack

React Native, Flutter, and the supporting infrastructure we use to build reliable, scalable cross platform apps.

React Native

React Native Core

Facebook's open-source framework for building cross platform mobile apps using JavaScript and React. React Native bridges JavaScript code with native platform APIs, delivering near-native performance with a single, shared codebase.

JavaScript and TypeScript

We build React Native projects in TypeScript for type safety, better code documentation, and fewer runtime errors. TypeScript significantly improves the maintainability of large cross platform codebases.

Expo

For projects that benefit from faster setup and managed build pipelines, we use Expo as a layer on top of React Native. Expo accelerates early-stage development and simplifies over-the-air update deployment.

React Navigation

Our navigation library of choice for React Native apps, handling screen transitions, deep linking, tab bars, and modal flows cleanly across both platforms.

Redux / Zustand

For state management in React Native applications. We choose between Redux (for large, complex state structures) and Zustand (for leaner, more straightforward state requirements) based on the product's architecture needs.

Flutter

Flutter SDK

Google's open-source UI toolkit for building cross platform apps from a single Dart codebase. Flutter renders its own UI layer rather than wrapping native components, which gives it strong visual consistency and performance across iOS and Android.

Dart

Flutter's programming language. Dart is strongly typed, easy to learn, and compiles to native ARM code for both platforms. It gives Flutter its performance advantage over JavaScript-based frameworks.

Riverpod / Bloc

Our preferred state management solutions for Flutter applications. Riverpod suits most Flutter projects with its clear dependency injection and testability. Bloc is our choice for complex, event-driven state management requirements.

Flutter Plugins

For accessing platform-specific capabilities like camera, GPS, biometrics, local storage, push notifications, we use Flutter's plugin ecosystem to integrate native functionality cleanly without writing platform-specific code from scratch.

Shared Infrastructure

Firebase

Across both React Native and Flutter projects, we use Firebase for authentication, real-time databases, push notifications, cloud storage, analytics, and crash reporting. Firebase reduces backend development time significantly for apps that do not require a fully custom server setup.

REST APIs and GraphQL

We connect cross platform apps to backend systems via REST APIs for standard integrations and GraphQL where flexible, efficient data fetching across complex structures is needed.

AWS / Google Cloud / Azure

Cloud platforms for backend infrastructure, cloud functions, storage, and scalable API services that support both iOS and Android users from a single backend.

CI/CD with Fastlane and GitHub Actions

Automated build and deployment pipelines that compile, test, and submit cross platform app builds to both the App Store and Google Play simultaneously, reducing manual deployment effort.

React Native

React Native Core

Facebook's open-source framework for building cross platform mobile apps using JavaScript and React. React Native bridges JavaScript code with native platform APIs, delivering near-native performance with a single, shared codebase.
