Cross-Platform Development
Cross-platform development is a powerful way to reduce time-to-market and overall development costs. Sapling Mobile has deep, real-world experience delivering cross-platform applications, with production deployments for top retailers, law enforcement agencies, and security guards. 'Write once, deploy anywhere' is the battle cry for many accomplished React Native engineers. A popular, lucrative example is Walmart's Grocery App, which generated $9B in revenue/year, and was written in a matter of months. These solutions are often a great fit for smaller teams or organizations looking to validate products quickly without maintaining separate iOS and Android codebases. There is no 'one size fits all' solution — we use an objective, ADR-driven approach that places customer needs and business needs over developer experience or programming language preferences.
