In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, having a mobile presence is no longer optional — it’s essential. Whether you’re a business in London, a startup in Nottingham, or a service provider in Blackpool, a mobile app can elevate your customer experience and improve operational efficiency. But here’s the big question: Do you need two separate apps for Android and iOS? Fortunately, the answer is no.
At Orbits IT, we help businesses across Scotland, Birmingham, and beyond build high-performance cross-platform apps — saving time, money, and hassle.
Why Build One App for Both Platforms?
Creating separate apps for iOS and Android involves:
- Hiring two development teams
- Writing code in two different languages (Swift for iOS, Kotlin/Java for Android)
- Doubling maintenance and support work
Instead, building a cross-platform app means you write one codebase that runs on both platforms, ensuring faster development and consistent user experiences.
Step-by-Step: How We Develop a Cross-Platform App
1. Understanding Your Business Goals
Every app starts with a conversation. Whether you’re based in London or Blackpool, we tailor the app’s features to meet your business objectives — be it booking systems, e-commerce, loyalty programs, or internal communications.
2. Choosing the Right Framework
We use popular cross-platform development frameworks like:
- Flutter (by Google) – Beautiful UI and high performance
- React Native (by Meta) – Fast development and strong community support
Both allow us to deploy a single app to Google Play and the Apple App Store.
3. Designing the User Interface (UI)
We ensure your app looks great on all devices. Whether your users are on an iPhone in Nottingham or an Android in Birmingham, they’ll enjoy a seamless experience.
4. Developing the Backend
Secure, scalable, and fast — our backend systems support real-time updates, secure payments, and cloud data storage.
5. Testing on Real Devices
Before launch, we test your app on a wide range of Android and iOS devices to ensure performance, speed, and stability.
6. Publishing and Support
We handle app store submissions, version updates, and provide post-launch support — so you’re never left in the dark.
