”Who

Mobile App developers

App developers who want alternatives to the default OS services, like Google Maps, Apple IAP; and those interested in developing for devices beyond GMS Android and iOS.

Service Providers

Service providers for modules like maps, auth, IAP, ads, cloud storage, and others; in addition to those seeking more mobile app adoption for their services.

Device Manufacturers/Platforms

Platforms outside the mainstream that aim to enable mobile app developers to be compatible with their platforms.

”Examples

App Developer Facing Errors

App developers getting error messages because your app uses OS integrated services.

Service providers’ Distribution Challenges

Flutter IAP supports only Apple Pay and Google Pay

Device manufacturers Facing Issues

Essential Considerations for Truly Cross-Platform App Development

”OS

Allow developers to build apps without relying on OS-specific languages.

  • Native Development (Swift and Kotlin) ❌
  • Cross-Platform (Flutter, React, CMP) ✅

”Flexible

These modules need to support more than GMS and iOS, as there is limited coverage for alternative service providers such as IAP, Maps Flutter, and RN.

  • Native Development (Swift and Kotlin) ❌
  • Cross-Platform (Flutter, React, CMP) ❌
  • Open Mobile Hub ✅

”Flexible

Core modules need to support more than Android and iOS.

  • Native Development (Swift and Kotlin) ❌
  • Cross-Platform (Flutter, React, CMP) ❌
  • Open Mobile Hub ✅

”Plug

Interface fragmentation causes vendor lock-in, making “On the Fly” service switching impossible and drastically increasing the cost of supporting non-GMS Android devices.

  • Native Development (Swift and Kotlin) ❌
  • Cross-Platform (Flutter, React, CMP) ❌
  • Open Mobile Hub ✅

OMH Future Roadmap Features

To be Finalized by TSC

In future releases, OMH plans to contribute the Android modules towards popular cross platform frameworks such as Flutter, React Native, and KMP, as well as new modules asked for by the community.

This will make it even easier for developers to use its features.
