Data Layer: Core Data with CloudKit sync
Networking: URLSession with Combine publishers
State Management: Combine with @Published properties
Navigation: NavigationStack (iOS 16+) with NavigationView fallback

Android Architecture Decisions

UI Framework: Jetpack Compose with Material Design 3
Data Layer: Room database with Flow
Networking: Retrofit with OkHttp interceptors
State Management: ViewModel with StateFlow
Navigation: Jetpack Navigation Compose

Code Sharing Strategy

Business logic: Shared TypeScript (React Native) or Dart (Flutter)
Platform layers: Native implementations with unified interface
Testing: Shared test cases with platform-specific fixtures
CI/CD: Unified pipeline building both platforms

Next Steps

Backend team should verify mobile API endpoints match contracts
DevOps can configure TestFlight/Google Play Beta distribution
QA team can start device testing with provided TestFlight/beta builds
Design team should review platform-specific implementations for guideline compliance
Ready for app store submission pending final QA approval
