Identifying Challenges in Managing Multiple Native Mobile Platforms for Large-Scale eCommerce Operations

The client operates separate native mobile applications for iOS and Android, resulting in resource-intensive maintenance, inconsistent user experiences, and elongated development cycles. Their internal teams require guidance and support to transition towards a single, unified cross-platform codebase to improve efficiency and scalability.

About the Client

A rapidly growing online shopping platform serving millions of users with a popular mobile app facing maintenance and scaling challenges.

Transforming Mobile App Development for Enhanced Efficiency and User Experience

  • Consolidate native iOS and Android applications into a single cross-platform React Native app to reduce resource overhead.
  • Streamline development and maintenance processes by enabling a unified codebase supported by a dedicated, skilled development team.
  • Enhance user experience consistency across platforms to improve customer satisfaction and retention.
  • Achieve faster deployment cycles and lower ongoing maintenance costs.
  • Ensure scalability and performance standards are met or exceeded post-migration.

Core Functionalities Required for the Cross-Platform Mobile Application

  • Unified user interface supporting both iOS and Android devices with consistent visual and interaction standards.
  • Implementation of complex animations and smooth UI transitions using advanced animation libraries.
  • Seamless API communication with robust error handling for real-time data updates.
  • Optimized list management for displaying large volumes of product data efficiently.
  • Support for location-based features and high-quality animations through integrated libraries.
  • Use of a comprehensive UI component library documented and tested in Storybook for early stakeholder review and testing.

Preferred Technologies and Architectural Approaches

React Native with Expo framework
TypeScript for static typing and code maintainability
Tailwind CSS for rapid styling
Storybook for component visualization and testing
Reanimated2 for complex animations
React Query for API interaction and data fetching

Essential External System Integrations

  • API endpoints for product data, user profiles, and transactional data
  • Location services for geolocation features
  • Analytics tools for user behavior tracking
  • Push notification services
  • Third-party libraries for advanced animations and UI components

Non-functional Requirements for Scalability, Performance, and Security

  • Application must support millions of users without performance degradation.
  • Fast load times and smooth animations to ensure user engagement.
  • Robust error handling and reliability in API communications.
  • Compliant with data security standards applicable to eCommerce platforms.
  • Scalable architecture to accommodate future feature expansion.

Projected Business Benefits from the Cross-Platform Migration

The migration aims to significantly reduce maintenance and development costs by consolidating codebases, streamline deployment cycles, and deliver a consistent user experience across platforms. Expected improvements include faster feature rollout, higher customer satisfaction, and an overall increase in app engagement and retention metrics.
