Best Approach for Developing a Cross-Platform Mobile App alongside a Laravel Web App?

[Vihan Richard]

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working on an eCommerce web app built with Laravel and considering launching a cross-platform mobile app alongside it. I want to ensure code reusability, smooth API integrations, and performance optimization across platforms (mainly Android & iOS).

I’ve looked into Flutter and React Native as options, but I’m curious about how others are managing API structures, authentication, and data syncing when connecting a mobile app to a Laravel backend.

Also, how do you handle deployment and updates between the Laravel backend and mobile frontend?

Any tips, best practices, or tools you’d recommend for mobile app development and eCommerce app development in this stack would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance!
