WHY IONIC

Your web stack, in the user's pocket

Ionic and Capacitor bring your Angular, React, or Vue team to mobile without rewriting. One codebase, three distribution channels, and real access to device APIs.

01 · STACK

We reuse your web stack

Angular, React, or Vue with TypeScript. The team already shipping your web product moves to mobile without learning Swift, Kotlin, or Dart.

02 · BRIDGE

Capacitor: native bridge with full system access

Real access to camera, GPS, biometrics, push, filesystem, and BLE via plugins. We ship custom Swift and Kotlin layers when a plugin does not exist.

03 · CHANNELS

iOS, Android, and PWA from one codebase

Same business logic, same components, three distribution channels. App Store, Play Store, and PWA on the same release cadence.

04 · ECONOMICS

Cost and time-to-market optimized

One pipeline, one team, one backlog. Fits MVPs, internal tools, B2B products, and operational portals where ROI drives the decision.

02 · NATIVE BRIDGE

Capacitor connects your app to the real device

Official and community plugins cover the usual device APIs. For everything else, we write custom plugins in Swift and Kotlin.

Camera

Capture, gallery, and compression with permissions handled per platform.

Geolocation

High-accuracy GPS, background tracking, and controlled geofencing.

Filesystem

Local read and write, offline cache, and deferred synchronization.

Push Notifications

Firebase, APNS, and deep links wired into the app's navigation.

Biometric Auth

Face ID, Touch ID, and Android fingerprint with system PIN fallback.

Bluetooth LE

Pairing, service reads, and commands to IoT devices.

CUSTOM PLUGIN

Custom plugins when the stock API falls short

We write Capacitor plugins in TypeScript, Swift, and Kotlin. The web team consumes them as a TypeScript module, without touching the native bridge.

  • Typed and documented TypeScript API
  • iOS implementation in Swift, Android in Kotlin
  • Unit and integration tests at every layer
  • Versioned and published inside the monorepo
VS CORDOVA

Capacitor replaces Cordova in serious projects

Capacitor is the modern successor to Cordova: TypeScript-native, integrated with npm, and compatible with the latest iOS and Android APIs.

  • Native projects you can edit like any iOS or Android app
  • PWA treated as a first-class target
  • Plugin compatibility with Cordova during migration
  • Official Ionic support and active release cycle
03 · ARCHITECTURE

From web to mobile with the architecture intact

Three aligned layers: reusable web frontend, Capacitor as the native bridge, and continuous release to stores and PWA.

01
01 / 03

Frontend

  • Angular, React, or Vue with strict TypeScript
  • Ionic UI components and Ionicons
  • Signals, RxJS, or React Query depending on framework
  • State, routing, and forms shared with the web app
02
02 / 03

Capacitor

  • Native plugins: camera, GPS, push, biometrics
  • Custom Swift and Kotlin plugins when needed
  • Deep links, universal links, and App Links
  • Live reload on physical devices
03
03 / 03

Release

  • GitHub Actions with fastlane for iOS and Android
  • Optional Appflow for cloud builds
  • PWA shipped in the same deploy as the web app
  • TestFlight and Play Console with separate tracks
04 · WHEN TO CHOOSE IONIC

Ionic wins when business drives and the web stack is there

It fits scenarios where reusing web knowledge, shortening time-to-market, and unifying channels matter more than squeezing the last frame of animation.

Ionic fits when

We pick it for projects where cost, team, and multi-channel distribution form the backbone of the product.

  • Established web team

    Angular, React, or Vue in production and the ambition to take it to mobile without opening a second front.

  • B2B tools and operational portals

    Form flows, lists, dashboards, and field data capture.

  • MVPs and market validation

    Short time-to-market on iOS, Android, and PWA from one backlog.

  • Internal and field apps

    Operations, logistics, inventory, and work orders connected to the ERP.

  • PWA and stores in parallel

    Simultaneous presence on App Store, Play Store, and browser from one deploy.

  • Products with their own backend

    REST or GraphQL APIs in Spring Boot, NestJS, or Symfony behind the app.

WHERE WE PROPOSE A DIFFERENT STACK

When we propose native or Flutter

For games, sustained 120fps animation, AR/VR, or sensor-intensive experiences we recommend Swift and Kotlin, or Flutter. The choice follows product requirements.

SUCCESS STORIES

Companies that trust our team

Teams with a web stack that have brought internal tools, operational portals, and MVPs to iOS, Android, and PWA from a single codebase.

FAQ

What teams ask before choosing Ionic

Technical decisions we put in writing before the first commit.

  • Ionic vs. Flutter or React Native?
    Ionic fits when the team and product already live in Angular, React, or Vue, and distribution needs PWA on top of stores. Flutter wins on highly custom UI and animation; React Native, on pure store products with a React team. The choice is made case by case based on product and team.
  • What real-world performance does an Ionic app deliver in production?
    For B2B tools, operational portals, MVPs, and field apps, performance is indistinguishable from native: smooth scroll, instant navigation, and short startup times. For extreme animation or 3D games, we recommend Swift, Kotlin, or Flutter.
  • Can you access advanced hardware: BLE, NFC, sensors?
    Yes. Capacitor covers BLE, NFC, biometrics, camera, and GPS with official plugins. For specific hardware (readers, thermal printers, industrial sensors), we write custom Swift and Kotlin plugins with a typed TypeScript API.
  • How do you manage a web + mobile monorepo?
    Nx or Turborepo with shared packages for types, domain, and API client. An Angular or React web app and a Capacitor app consume the same core. What changes is the presentation layer and the native plugins.
  • What about Cordova and inherited debt?
    Capacitor is compatible with most Cordova plugins, so migration is incremental. We replace critical plugins first, keep the secondary ones, and close the migration when the last one stops being used. No big bang.
