Building Native for Two Platforms? There's a Better Way.

Building native for iOS and Android is doubling your cost.

Two codebases, two teams, two timelines. Every feature has to be built, tested, and maintained twice — and your budget is stretching further than it should.

Your mobile experience is falling behind competitors.

You know your users are on mobile, but you can't justify the investment to build separate native apps. Meanwhile, your competitors are already in the app store.

Web wrappers and hybrid apps look cheap.

You've looked at quick fixes — web views, PWAs, low-code app builders — but the result feels clunky, slow, and nothing like a real native app. Your users notice.

Previous app projects went over budget and over time.

Maybe you've tried before. A freelancer, an offshore team, or an agency that promised the world. The app was late, buggy, and never quite right.

Flutter FastTrack: One Codebase, Two App Stores, Half the Cost

Flutter FastTrack is Shape's cross-platform mobile app development service for founders and SMEs who want to launch on iOS and Android without the cost and complexity of native development. We use Flutter — Google's production-grade framework — to build a single codebase that delivers truly native performance on both platforms.

You get a real app. We handle the complexity.

Truly native performance

Flutter compiles to native ARM code — your app looks, feels, and performs like a native app on both iOS and Android. No compromises.

Half the development cost

One codebase means one team, one build, one testing cycle. You get both platforms for significantly less than building native twice.

Faster time to market

Launch on both app stores in weeks, not months. Flutter's rapid development cycle means you're live while competitors are still briefing agencies.

Easier to maintain and evolve

One codebase to update, one set of tests to run, one deployment pipeline. New features ship to both platforms simultaneously.

From Concept to App Store in Four Steps

A clear, structured process designed to get your app live on both platforms as fast as possible.

01

Discovery Call

We start with a free conversation to understand your app idea, your users, and your goals. We'll advise on whether Flutter is the right fit and map out the initial scope. No commitment required.

02

Design & Prototype

We design the mobile UX and create an interactive prototype you can tap through on your phone. You'll see how the app looks and feels on both platforms before we write a single line of code.

03

Build & Test

Our senior Flutter developers build your app in short sprints. You see real progress every week, test on real devices, and have input at every stage.

04

Deploy to App Stores

We handle the full app store submission process for both Apple and Google. You launch with a polished, production-ready app and a roadmap for future development.

Frequently asked questions
How do you ensure security and compliance

Threat modelling begins with understanding your system and the risks it faces. While it starts before any code is written, it’s revisited throughout development to address emerging risks. It involves the development team planning how data will flow through the system. They identify potentially sensitive data, such as personal or financial information, and define trust boundaries – points where data crosses between components or users with different levels of trust. Anything crossing a trust boundary is treated as potentially untrusted, requiring security controls like authentication, encryption, and input validation.

How do you ensure the quality and security of the software you build?

Quality assurance is integrated into every sprint with automated and manual testing. We follow industry best practices for security, including code reviews and penetration testing.

How do you handle ongoing maintenance and support after launch?

We provide long-term support plans including monitoring, updates, bug fixes, and critical response to ensure your software remains reliable and secure.

How Do I Make My App Stand Out from the Competition?

So the real question isn't "Can I build an app?", it's "Why will users choose mine?" Understanding what makes an app stand out is just as important as the technology behind it. The most successful apps aren't simply the best built. They're thoughtfully designed, clearly differentiated, and genuinely aligned with what their users need.
