+Since tab bars are persistent across your app, they should match your
+own branding. However, if you choose to use Material's default 
+styling on Android, you might consider adapting to the default iOS
+tab bars.
+
+To implement platform-specific bottom navigation bars, 
+you can use Flutter’s `NavigationBar` widget on Android 
+and the `CupertinoTabBar` widget on iOS. 
+Below is a code snippet you can 
+adapt to show a platform-specific navigation bars.
+
+```dart
+final Map<String, Icon> _navigationItems = {
+    'Menu': Platform.isIOS ? Icon(CupertinoIcons.house_fill) : Icon(Icons.home),
+    'Order': Icon(Icons.adaptive.share),
+  };
+
+...
+
+Scaffold(
+  body: _currentWidget,
+  bottomNavigationBar: Platform.isIOS
+          ? CupertinoTabBar(
+              currentIndex: _currentIndex,
+              onTap: (index) {
+                setState(() => _currentIndex = index);
+                _loadScreen();
+              },
+              items: _navigationItems.entries
+                  .map<BottomNavigationBarItem>(
+                      (entry) => BottomNavigationBarItem(
+                            icon: entry.value,
+                            label: entry.key,
+                          ))
+                  .toList(),
+            )
+          : NavigationBar(
+              selectedIndex: _currentIndex,
+              onDestinationSelected: (index) {
+                setState(() => _currentIndex = index);
+                _loadScreen();
+              },
+              destinations: _navigationItems.entries
+                  .map<Widget>((entry) => NavigationDestination(
+                        icon: entry.value,
+                        label: entry.key,
