App Development

We build cross-platform mobile apps in React Native or Flutter, so one codebase serves both stores instead of two teams building the same product twice. The engagement covers design, the backend and API, store submission and post-launch updates. We handle the store review correspondence ourselves, because that is the stage where a project without an experienced hand on it tends to stall.

Scope

What'sincluded

Everything below is in the standard engagement. Anything outside it is agreed in writing before the work starts, never after.

  • Cross-platform build for iOS and Android from a single codebase
  • Interface design following each platform’s own human interface guidelines
  • Backend API, database and authentication
  • Push notifications, deep linking and in-app analytics
  • App Store and Play Store submission, including answering review rejections
  • Crash reporting, monitoring and post-launch update releases

Who this is for

Built for three situations

  • Startups shipping an MVP
  • Businesses digitising a service
  • Brands needing a customer app

Process

How thisactually runs

  1. Define

    Feature set, user flows and platform requirements documented, with anything out of scope named explicitly so version one actually ships.

  2. Design

    Screen designs and an interactive prototype you can tap through and sign off before development starts.

  3. Build

    Development in sprints, each ending in a build you can install and use, distributed through TestFlight on iOS and internal testing on Play.

  4. Ship

    Store listings prepared, submissions made, review feedback answered, and the app published.

Deliverables

What you end up holding

  • Published iOS and Android apps under your developer accounts
  • Full source code and backend repository
  • Design files and an interactive prototype
  • API documentation
  • Crash reporting and analytics dashboards

Questions

AboutApp Development

  • React Native or Flutter?

    React Native when the app shares logic with a web product, or when your team already writes JavaScript. Flutter when the interface is heavily custom and animation-led. Both perform well enough for almost any app that is not a game or a video editor, and the choice between them is rarely what decides whether the product works.

  • Do I need my own developer accounts?

    Yes, and you should insist on it whoever builds your app. The Apple Developer Program is 99 US dollars a year and a Google Play Console account is a one-time 25 US dollars. Both must be registered in your business name so you own the listings, the reviews and the users. We publish into your accounts as an invited member and hand the access back at the end.

  • Why does Android take longer to launch than iOS?

    Because of a Play Console rule that catches most first-time publishers. A newly created personal developer account has to run a closed test with at least 12 testers who stay opted in for 14 consecutive days before Google will grant access to production. It is not a queue you can pay to skip, so we start recruiting testers during the build rather than after it.

  • What if Apple rejects the app?

    It happens, and it is usually procedural: a missing privacy disclosure, incomplete metadata, or a guideline read differently than you read it. We answer the review correspondence and resubmit as part of the project. A rejection costs days rather than weeks when the person replying has seen that guideline before.
