Architecting Enterprise-Grade Cross-Platform Mobile Applications with Web Views

Abstract

The design of enterprise-scale mobile applications that provide similar functionality and user experience on both iOS and Android platforms has been a hard challenge especially when working with large scale systems where quick delivery of features, maintainability and platform compatibility is paramount. This paper introduces a cross-platform mobile structure that is strategically implemented by using Web Views in native mobile containers, which allows enterprises to balance on the development efficiency and the ability to have robust native capabilities. Through modular web architecture, which is integrated with high-performance Web Views, organizations can ensure a great deal of the code reuse and centralize business logic and presentation layers.
The suggested solution would enable the development teams to roll out and roll out features in a very short time without redeploying the complete application, which would greatly cut down the release cycle time. The platform-specific issues like authentication, secure storage, push notifications, deep linking and device-level integration are still handled by native containers, making web and native systems interact seamlessly. The paper investigates main architecture designs to achieve secure two-way communication between native and web layers, good state synchronization, and optimizing performance in memory and resource constrained mobile applications.

Furthermore, the architecture also fulfills the enterprise needs in terms of scalability, security, compliance with accessibility, and operational sustainability. The practical application of the idea of enterprises being implemented as modular systems through WebViews demonstrates the benefits of the reduced redundancy in development across platforms, the enhanced uniformity of user experience, and the fact that these modular systems meet the needs of evolving business conditions without compromising the performance or dependability. The results indicate that a Web View-based hybrid architecture is a practical and large-scale solution to organizations that want to upgrade their mobile platform and retain agility, governance, and cross-platform alignment in the complicated enterprise ecosystem.
