1 Choose the right tools

One of the most important decisions you have to make as a cross-platform developer is what tools and technologies to use. There are many options available, such as native, hybrid, or web-based approaches, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. You should consider factors such as your target audience, your app features, your budget, and your development skills. Some of the most popular tools for cross-platform development are React Native, Flutter, Ionic, Xamarin, and Cordova.

The right tool for the job is as important as your skills. There are many things to consider for this. Will I need to make a web app for this ? Is it going to scale well for us scope? Will this code be a hassle to deal with when updating packages? All of these need to be considered before you open Vs code

When does a tool become the right tool? When the gap between the technical requirements and the software capabilities becomes zero, we can consider it the right tool. In my experience, I suggest first understanding the software requirements and then selecting the appropriate tool to fulfil the scope.

2 Test and debug frequently

Another key aspect of cross-platform compatibility is testing and debugging your app on different devices and platforms. You want to make sure that your app looks and works as intended, regardless of the screen size, resolution, orientation, or operating system. You can use various tools and methods to test your app, such as emulators, simulators, real devices, cloud services, or beta testing programs. You should also use debugging tools and frameworks that can help you identify and fix errors and bugs in your code.

What's could work well on android could be broken on iOS. It's important to use tools such as expo to test your application on an actual device and even make custom classes for iOS devices Vs android devices.

One valuable practice I've found is to conduct testing whenever changes or updates are made to the code. Developers should maintain unit test cases, and QA teams should perform both manual and automated testing to uphold the application's standards.

3 Follow the guidelines and standards

Each platform has its own guidelines and standards for app design, functionality, and performance. You should follow these guidelines and standards to ensure that your app meets the expectations and requirements of the users and the platform owners. For example, you should follow the Material Design principles for Android apps, and the Human Interface Guidelines for iOS apps. You should also adhere to the best practices for app security, privacy, accessibility, and performance.

4 Learn from the experts and the community

One of the best ways to keep up with the cross-platform compatibility trends is to learn from the experts and the community. You can follow blogs, podcasts, newsletters, or social media accounts of reputable developers and organizations that share their insights and experiences on cross-platform development. You can also join online forums, groups, or platforms where you can ask questions, get feedback, or exchange ideas with other developers. Some of the most popular platforms for cross-platform developers are Stack Overflow, GitHub, Medium, Reddit, and Twitter.

Both android and IOS have their own ecosystems that evolve at differing levels. IOS can have a feature you will want to develop for only for it not to be supported on android devices. Keep up with the latest in development news to release updates ass soon as they drop

In the world of development, you're never alone. There's always someone who has a solution or idea to address your issues or problems. All you have to do is stay connected with open platforms and ask for help. Use this network as your support system in the growth stage, and later, you can guide others in return.

5 Update and upgrade regularly

Finally, you should update and upgrade your app and your tools regularly to keep up with the changes and improvements in the cross-platform environment. You should monitor the updates and releases of the platforms, devices, and frameworks that you use, and make sure that your app is compatible with them. You should also update your app to fix any bugs, add new features, or improve the user experience. Updating and upgrading your app and your tools can help you avoid compatibility issues, security risks, or performance problems.

One should never neglect the official documentation and the releases of the framework / language. This can keep you updated with security issues, new features, new bug fixes, while also gives you an idea of new possible issues you might encounter.
