Shipping an iOS and Android app from a single codebase
How we create mobile apps for both stores without doubling the team.

When AxentHost needed mobile apps, doubling the team to maintain two native codebases wasn’t an option. So we created both apps from one.
One codebase, two stores
A shared codebase gave us iOS and Android in parallel, with platform-specific polish where it counted. Creating the apps this way cut our timeline nearly in half.
- Shared logic, platform-specific UI touches
- One release process for both stores
- Half the code to maintain over time
Cross-platform isn’t a compromise when you design for it from the start of app creation. It’s leverage.
