    As the name suggests, being cross-platform means building applications that can run on a variety of operating systems. Once you've written your application code, you can deploy it to different devices and platforms without worrying about incompatibility issues. It is a versatile approach that is widely used to save development time and money. Often, specialized cross-platform frameworks are used for this.
    Pros of cross-platform apps

    1. One code is available for reuse on other platforms

    The main advantage of cross-platform mobile app development is the fact that the same code can be used across different mobile platforms. Unlike native application development, cross-platform application does not require a separate technical stack for each operating system.
    Code reuse makes it easy to deploy an application to a different platform, because the application's capabilities implemented on one platform will work on other platforms as well.
    2. Development of cross-platform applications is cost effective

    One team can implement the desired idea on all platforms at once using a single technology stack. This results in less resource waste.
    3. Simple and fast deployment

    Developers of cross-platform applications do not need to study several technology stacks of different platforms before creating their applications; they need to master well one development stack and the specifics of its use.
    Since there is no need to create different codebases, initial deployment to target platforms is much faster.
    In addition, future changes to the application can be made concurrently, without making individual changes on each platform.
    4. Cross-platform applications reach a wider audience

    Cross-platform apps offer developers more options to reach a wider audience as they reach users of all types and mobile devices, regardless of their operating system. This is significantly more cost-effective for the business than being present on only one platform.
    5. Cross-platform apps allow the same interface and UX

    While performance is important to any mobile app, its look and feel (UI) and feel (UX) are just as important. The use of a single common development team and a single code allows companies to use the same look and feel for the application across all platforms. That is, the same user interface and UX will look the same across all platforms.
    Pay attention to the strategy for promoting the application and its intended functionality. If you immediately need to reach a larger audience and the functionality of the application is not complicated, it is easier and cheaper to use https://fireart.studio/cross-platform-app-development-services/ a cross-platform approach.
