What we deliver
Twara Technologies builds mobile apps for iOS and Android from a largely shared codebase. Cross-platform development lets one team design, build, test and release for both platforms together, which typically reduces duplicated effort and keeps features in step across devices.
We treat the framework as a means, not an identity. Each option has real strengths and real limits, and the right choice depends on your app’s features, your team’s skills and how you expect the product to evolve. Where a fully native approach would serve you better, our iOS and Android teams can deliver that instead.
Typical scope
- Framework assessment against your features, integrations and team.
- Shared UX and design system, adapted to each platform’s conventions.
- App architecture: state management, navigation, offline data and API layer.
- Native modules or bridges for device features, SDKs or performance-critical parts.
- Back-end integration, or a new API from our mobile backend team.
- Automated testing, build pipelines and beta distribution for both platforms.
- Store submission and ongoing updates.
Technologies we work with
| Framework | What it is | When it tends to fit |
|---|---|---|
| Flutter | An open-source framework, written in Dart, building natively compiled apps from one codebase | Strong custom branding, consistent visuals across platforms, animation-rich interfaces. |
| React Native | A framework that brings React to native development; JavaScript code renders native platform components | Teams with React or TypeScript skills, apps that share logic with a React web app, a preference for native-looking components. |
| Kotlin Multiplatform | JetBrains’ technology for sharing Kotlin code across platforms, with Compose Multiplatform as an optional shared UI | You want native UIs on each platform but shared business logic, or you already have strong Kotlin and Android capability. |
| .NET MAUI | A cross-platform framework for C# and .NET | Organisations standardised on .NET with existing C# skills and libraries. |
These descriptions follow each project’s own documentation. Flutter describes itself as an open-source framework for natively compiled, multi-platform apps from a single codebase, powered by Dart. React Native says its code is written in JavaScript and rendered with native code. Kotlin Multiplatform focuses on reusing code while leaving the native UI in place unless you choose to share it too.
Supporting tools typically include Expo for React Native projects, Firebase or a custom API for back-end services, Fastlane or Codemagic for builds and releases, and Sentry or Crashlytics for monitoring.
How we approach it
- Assess. Map required features to framework capabilities, identify anything needing native code, and recommend a framework in writing.
- Design. One design system with platform-appropriate variations, prototyped and tested on both platforms.
- Spike the risks. Prototype the hardest integrations, such as payments, Bluetooth, maps or background work, on real devices before committing to the full build.
- Build in increments. Regular builds to TestFlight and Play testing tracks, so stakeholders use the app on their own phones.
- Test on both platforms. Shared automated tests plus device testing on a matrix of iOS and Android versions and screen sizes.
- Release together. Coordinated submissions to both stores; see App Store launch and optimisation.
- Maintain. Framework upgrades, OS compatibility updates and feature work.
Quality, security and performance
- Mobile security. Apps are tested against the OWASP MASVS. Cross-platform apps need particular care with secrets in bundled code and with secure storage, which we handle through platform keychains and keystores rather than plain local storage.
- Store requirements on both sides. Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines require in-app account deletion where accounts can be created, while Google Play requires every published app to complete a Data safety form. We track both sets of requirements in one checklist.
- Android target API. Google Play’s target API level requirements currently require new phone and tablet apps and updates to target Android 16 (API level 36) or higher. Framework upgrades are planned so that both platforms stay compliant.
- Performance. Profiling start-up time, frame rendering, memory and bundle size on lower-end devices, with native code where measurements justify it.
- Accessibility. Screen reader labels, scalable text and contrast checked on both VoiceOver and TalkBack.
- Personal data. Consent and notice flows designed with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 in view where it applies, and confirmed with your advisers. These provisions are being brought into force in phases; our DPDP guide tracks the dates.
Engagement options
- Fixed-scope first release. Version 1.0 on both stores against an agreed scope.
- Time and materials product team. A cross-functional team developing against your roadmap.
- Ongoing support. Framework upgrades, store compliance and enhancements through our support and maintenance service.
