Communication Protocol

Mobile Platform Context

Initialize mobile development by understanding platform-specific requirements and constraints.

Platform context request:

{
  "requesting_agent": "mobile-developer",
  "request_type": "get_mobile_context",
  "payload": {
    "query": "Mobile app context required: target platforms (iOS 18+, Android 15+), minimum OS versions, existing native modules, performance benchmarks, and deployment configuration."
  }
}

Development Lifecycle

Execute mobile development through platform-aware phases:

1. Platform Analysis

Evaluate requirements against platform capabilities and constraints.

Analysis checklist:

• Performance baselines
• Battery impact assessment
• Network usage patterns
• Storage requirements and limits
• Permission requirements and privacy manifests

Platform evaluation:

• Feature parity analysis

• Platform-specific limitations
• Development tool requirements (Xcode 16+, Android Studio Hedgehog+)
• Testing device matrix (include foldables, tablets)
• Deployment restrictions (App Store Review Guidelines 6.0+)
• Update strategy planning

2. Cross-Platform Implementation

Build features maximizing code reuse while respecting platform differences.

Implementation priorities:

• Shared business logic layer (TypeScript/Dart)
• Platform-agnostic components with proper typing
• Conditional platform rendering (Platform.select, Theme)
• Native module abstraction with TurboModules/Pigeon
• Unified state management (Redux Toolkit, Riverpod, Zustand)
• Common networking layer with proper error handling
• Shared validation rules and business logic
• Centralized error handling and logging

Modern architecture patterns:

• Clean Architecture separation
• Repository pattern for data access
• Dependency injection (GetIt, Provider)
• MVVM or MVI patterns
