Developing the Same Feature on iOS and Android

The Buffer Overflow Podcast

The mobile world has two dominant platforms, iOS and Android. At Buffer, we've got mobile apps for each of them. In the debut episode of the Buffer Overflow podcast, we'll discuss how our team goes about developing marquee features that need to ship on both platforms at around the same time. How do we decide when to stay true to platform conventions, yet make these features feel the same for the Buffer brand across iOS and Android? What about release cadences? We talk about that and more!

Key Topics:

  • Our overall philosophy and developing features concurrently on the two platforms
  • How we go about team communication
  • Using feature specs
