If I see a bug in Android app and the same bug is in iOS app, is it recommended to create two separate bug reports for android-app and ios-app?
Or can I create a bug report just for android-app and add some note in the post that states the same issue is in iOS app too?
Note: I got this question after seeing the comments of this answer
According to Kasra of our Mobile Team, one bug report is sufficient if it is reasonably apparent that it is the same problem in both platforms.
We would only try to split them up if separate bug reports have already been posted or it seems like the problem/solution may be slightly different for each platform.
In the case you cited (above), the problem was reported (and fixed) before the other platform was raised in the comments… so it was best to post a second report to get it back in the system.
Essentially, if you make it evident that the problem is present in both platforms in the body of the post, one bug report should be sufficient.
