One Codebase. Two Platforms. Real Results.
We build hybrid mobile applications using Ionic and Cordova that run natively on iOS and Android from a single shared codebase. Clients get a polished, maintainable app at roughly half the development time of going fully native.
Faster Time to Market
A shared codebase means features are built once and ship to both iOS and Android simultaneously, cutting delivery timelines significantly.
Lower Ongoing Costs
One codebase to test, debug, and update means your maintenance bill stays predictable rather than scaling with two separate engineering tracks.
Full Native Device Access
Cordova plugins and Ionic Native wrappers give your app access to real hardware features — no compromise on the functionality users expect.
Hybrid App Development
The outcome we're after
Maintaining two separate native codebases — one for iOS, one for Android — doubles engineering effort, stretches timelines, and inflates ongoing maintenance costs. For most business applications, that trade-off is hard to justify when user expectations can be met without going fully native.
Splicity uses Ionic alongside Cordova to build apps that share a single TypeScript and Angular (or React) codebase while accessing native device APIs — camera, GPS, push notifications, biometrics — through battle-tested plugins. Our engineers structure projects for long-term maintainability, not just a quick first release.
The result is a production-ready app on both major platforms, submitted and live in the respective stores, with one unified codebase your team can evolve without doubling engineering headcount. Clients consistently see 40–50 percent shorter time-to-market compared to parallel native builds.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does a hybrid app differ from a native app in terms of performance?
Hybrid apps run inside a native web view, so compute-heavy tasks like 3D rendering are slower than fully native code. For the vast majority of business apps — forms, dashboards, e-commerce, booking flows — the performance gap is imperceptible to end users. We benchmark critical interactions during development to confirm acceptable frame rates before delivery.
Can a hybrid app built with Ionic access the device camera and push notifications?
Yes. Cordova plugins provide standardised JavaScript interfaces to hardware features including the camera, microphone, GPS, push notifications, and biometric authentication. Splicity selects and audits plugins for active maintenance and security before integrating them, so you are not dependent on abandoned open-source code.
Will my app pass Apple App Store and Google Play Store review?
Ionic and Cordova are accepted technologies on both platforms. We follow each store's technical and policy guidelines during build configuration and submission preparation. Our team handles the full submission process, including provisioning profiles, signing certificates, and responding to any reviewer feedback.
What is the typical timeline and cost for a hybrid app project?
A focused single-feature MVP typically takes eight to twelve weeks from scoped requirements to store submission. Full-featured apps with back-end integration usually run sixteen to twenty-four weeks. We provide a fixed-scope estimate after a discovery session, so there are no open-ended billing surprises mid-project.
