Cross-Platform Apps With React Native, Expo and Flutter
React Native, Expo and Flutter apps from a single codebase for Android and iOS.
Overview
Cross-platform frameworks let one team build a single codebase that runs on Android and iOS. For most business apps, this means faster delivery and simpler maintenance than two separate native apps.
We use React Native with Expo for teams already invested in JavaScript and React, and Flutter where its UI toolkit is a better fit.
