Available now for new projects.

iOS and Android, from one pair of hands

Native Swift and SwiftUI, native Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, plus the Python backend.

Specification

STACK
Swift and SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on Android. Both native, no cross-platform layer.
BACKEND
Python as well: usually FastAPI, sometimes Django or Flask. App and backend from the same hand.
TESTED
Unit, snapshot and UI tests on both platforms. Accessibility from day one, not bolted on later.
SINCE
Native mobile since 2015. My own apps now ship on the App Store and on Google Play.

Two teams for iOS and Android means two codebases and one bug on the seam between them, exactly the spot nobody owns. I write both sides myself, native, plus the Python backend underneath. One pair of hands, no handover, no translation layer.

Native on both platforms, or cross-platform?

Simple app, little platform-specific behaviour, validating fast
PickCross-platform, React Native or Flutter
WhyI will say so myself. Without deep OS integration, native gains too little to justify two codebases.
Fluid UI, widgets, CarPlay, watchOS or deep OS integration
PickNative on both platforms UsuallyThis is the usual answer.
WhyThat is where a cross-platform layer breaks down, and the time you saved goes into workarounds.
iOS and Android must stay feature-equal and ship together
PickOne developer on both sides
WhySomeone who holds both versions in his head sees them drift before it turns into a bug on the seam.
You already have an Android team, iOS has to join
PickI take iOS and line up with their Android
WhyThat is how Plein2 for the Dutch Parliament went: I built iOS, an Android developer built the other side.
App and backend sit with separate parties
PickApp and backend from the same hand
WhySweather runs on iOS, Android and my own Python backend. A change to the contract is then one change.
