Cross-platform mobile app

A native-quality iOS and Android app that consumes the same published APIs as the web — built on a shared, maintainable codebase and shipped through automated pipelines.

Platforms

Consumes published APIs
Codebase
Shared, maintainable

Overview

Two separate native codebases would have doubled effort and drifted out of sync with the web experience, while tight coupling to back-ends made every change risky. The aim was a native-quality mobile product that shares a codebase and consumes the same published APIs as every other client.

The app is built cross-platform for a shared core, follows each platform's UX conventions, and reaches the same versioned APIs through the gateway — one contract, many clients.


The challenge

Our approach

  1. Built cross-platform (React Native or Flutter) for a shared core, using native Swift / Kotlin where the product demanded it
  2. Consumed the same versioned APIs as web through the gateway — one contract, many clients
  3. Followed platform UX conventions so the app feels native on each device
  4. Automated builds, testing, and store delivery through CI/CD
  5. Instrumented crash reporting and usage analytics for product feedback

Representative reference architecture from the NovasIQ engineering practice, illustrating how we approach this pattern. It reflects standard, proven engineering practice — and the API reference architecture in the source material — rather than a specific named client engagement, and outcomes are described qualitatively. Industry figures are drawn from public research: Postman, MuleSoft and Stack Overflow.
