Since their introduction, mobile application development has gained in complexity and now rivals web app development. The primary factor contributing to this complexity is their monolithic architecture: a mobile application is still built as a single unit. In contrast, web applications are adapted to modular architectures such as Microservice or Micro FrontEnd (MFE). This last approach divides development into teams, each responsible for a MFE corresponding to a specific software feature. Our study examines the adoption of the MFE architecture on native mobile platforms. This paper discusses: i) how MFE can be translated to current native mobile platforms; ii) the limitations of adapting MFE architecture on mobile; and iii) the challenges it introduces to mobile application development. Despite challenges in composing mobile MFEs post-deployment, our research demonstrates maintaining a static development-side composite is feasible, albeit with a loss of flexibility. This allows team separation and independent feature development, though technological agnosticism isn’t achieved.
