Mobile App Development

Native and cross-platform apps, from concept to store launch.

What is mobile app development?

Mobile app development is the process of building software that runs on smartphones and tablets. It splits into native development (Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android), cross-platform development (one Flutter or React Native codebase for both), and progressive web apps that run in the mobile browser.

We help businesses decide which of those three routes actually fits their budget and audience before we write code — most companies do not need a native app, and we will say so. When an app is the right answer, we take it from wireframe through store submission and post-launch iteration.

What our mobile app development service covers

  • Native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) applications
  • Cross-platform apps in Flutter from a single codebase
  • Progressive Web Apps (PWA) as a lower-cost alternative to a store app
  • Backend APIs, authentication, push notifications, and offline sync
  • App Store and Google Play submission, review handling, and release management
  • Analytics, crash reporting, and staged rollouts after launch

What you receive

  • Signed release builds for iOS and/or Android
  • App Store Connect and Google Play Console listings with screenshots and copy
  • Backend API with documentation and a staging environment
  • Crash reporting and analytics dashboards configured
  • Source code repository and build pipeline transferred to you

Our mobile app development process

  1. 01

    Platform decision

    We compare native, Flutter, and PWA against your audience, budget, and feature list, and recommend one with the trade-offs written down.

  2. 02

    UX and wireframes

    Screen-by-screen flows before visual design, so navigation problems are caught on paper.

  3. 03

    UI design

    Platform-appropriate interfaces that respect iOS and Android conventions rather than fighting them.

  4. 04

    Development

    Two-week build cycles with installable test builds via TestFlight and Play internal testing.

  5. 05

    QA on real devices

    Testing on physical handsets across screen sizes and OS versions, not just simulators.

  6. 06

    Store launch

    Listing assets, privacy declarations, review submission, and handling rejections if they occur.

What we build mobile app development with

  • Flutter
  • Dart
  • Swift
  • Kotlin
  • React Native
  • Firebase
  • Node.js
  • REST APIs
  • Google Play Console
  • App Store Connect

Who this is a good fit for

  • Businesses with repeat users who open the product several times a week
  • Products that genuinely need the camera, GPS, offline mode, or push notifications
  • Field teams — delivery, logistics, service engineers — needing a device-first tool
  • Consumer products where store presence is itself a distribution channel

Mobile App Development questions

Should I build a native app or a Flutter app?

Flutter is usually the better value when you need both iOS and Android and your app does not depend on cutting-edge platform-specific features — one codebase means roughly one build cost instead of two. Native is worth the extra cost for graphics-heavy apps, deep OS integration, or when platform-specific performance is a selling point.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

A focused first version (MVP) with a handful of core screens typically takes 8 to 12 weeks including store submission. Larger apps with payments, chat, or complex offline behaviour usually run 4 to 6 months.

Do you publish the app under my developer account?

Yes, and we recommend it. Your company should own the Apple Developer and Google Play accounts so that you keep control of the listing, reviews, and future releases regardless of who maintains the app.

What happens after the app is launched?

Apps need ongoing work — Apple and Google both push OS updates that can break older builds, and store policies change. We offer maintenance retainers covering OS compatibility updates, bug fixes, and small feature additions.

Can you build a Progressive Web App instead?

Yes. A PWA is installable from the browser, works offline, and can send push notifications on Android. It costs significantly less than a native app and avoids store review, at the cost of some iOS limitations. For many businesses it is the right first step.
