platform-specific code

Platform-specific code refers to programming code written to work with a particular technology platform’s features, tools, or APIs. This code is tailored to the platform’s unique requirements and may not be compatible with other platforms. Platform-specific code ensures optimal performance and integration with the target platform but may limit cross-platform usability.

How are updates and bug fixes handled in cross platform applications?

Updates and bug fixes in cross platform applications are typically handled through a combination of code sharing, platform-specific code, and version control systems. When a bug is identified, developers can fix it in the shared codebase, which is then deployed to all supported platforms. Updates, on the other hand, involve adding new features or improving existing ones. These updates can be done in the shared codebase as well. However, platform-specific code may be required for certain features or optimizations. Version control systems help manage different versions of the codebase and ensure that updates and bug fixes are systematically tracked and implemented across platforms.
