Cross-platform mobile app for SweetTreats, published on both the App Store and Google Play, covering ordering and product discovery.
Shipping to both stores from one React Native codebase is the practical argument for the framework, but the work that actually consumes time is not the shared code. It is the platform divergence: separate signing and provisioning, two review processes with different standards, platform-specific navigation and gesture conventions, and push notification setup that shares no infrastructure between the two.
Getting through review on both platforms is a real deliverable rather than a formality. Apple and Google reject for different reasons, and a build that satisfies one can fail the other on a detail neither documents prominently.
The app itself prioritises the purchasing flow. Food ordering is an impatient interaction, usually one-handed, often with poor connectivity, so the path from opening the app to a completed order is kept short and the interface stays responsive while requests are in flight.
Matthew Wilson, the founder, said the app shipped on time, the quality showed in every detail, and I stayed personally involved through the whole build.
