What advantages do businesses get by creating an eWallet app that works on both Android and iPhone using a single codebase?

They are chasing The Holy Grail.

I've found single codebase to be limiting since you can't use a platform strength or feature.

Did you try a shared codebase?

Any "business" creating an ewallet app is looking to get hacked / sued / driven out of business in fairly short order.

Large companies with lots of resources to do this properly regularly screw up.

Cross-platform development (Flutter/React Native) gives eWallet apps a few solid advantages over building separate native apps:

One codebase for both iOS and Android — faster build time, lower cost
Consistent UI/UX across platforms, which matters for trust in a finance app
Simultaneous updates — no staggered releases between platforms
Wider reach at launch — both app stores at once

That said, 's point is fair — the real risk in an eWallet app isn't the codebase strategy, it's security, PCI-DSS/KYC compliance, and fraud handling. Cross-platform is fine as long as those aren't treated as an afterthought. Teams like Nimble AppGenie that specialize in secure fintech development tend to combine cross-platform efficiency with native-level security where it actually matters (biometrics, encryption, payment SDKs).
