Mobile App Development
iOS and Android apps built in React Native — one codebase, two stores, and shared types with the web app so the three don't drift apart.
The problem
Building the same product three times — web, iOS, Android — is how small teams lose a year. Three codebases means three implementations of the same business rules, and they diverge the first time one gets a fix the others don't.
The other trap is building a mobile app that shouldn't exist. Plenty of businesses need a responsive website and an app-store listing is just an expensive way to get one. The right question is whether users need the phone's capabilities — camera, offline, push, location — or just the content.
What's included
- React Native applications for iOS and Android from one codebase
- Shared TypeScript types with your web application, so business rules exist once
- Offline capability and local data sync for field use
- Push notifications
- Camera, location, and device hardware integration
- Biometric and secure authentication
- App Store and Google Play submission, review handling, and release management
- Over-the-air updates for changes that don't need a store review
How we deliver
Discover, prototype, build, support
Discover
A paid, fixed-fee engagement producing requirements and a real estimate. You own the output.
Prototype
Clickable screens before code. Changing a wireframe takes an hour; changing a built screen takes days.
Build
Short increments with something demonstrable at the end of each. No six-month silence.
Support
Source code, documentation, and infrastructure handed over. Ongoing support optional, never required.
Mobile Apps: common questions
Do we actually need an app, or is a website enough?
Often a responsive website is enough, and we'll say so. An app earns its place when users need offline access, push notifications, camera or location hardware, or when they'll use it frequently enough to want an icon on their home screen. If none of those apply, an app is a more expensive website with a review process attached.
React Native or fully native Swift and Kotlin?
React Native for the large majority of business applications — one codebase, one team, and shared logic with your web app. Fully native is the right call for heavy graphics, intensive background processing, or deep platform-specific integration. We'll tell you which side of that line you're on before you commit.
Who handles the App Store and Play Store accounts?
You own both accounts and the apps published under them — that's non-negotiable for us, because apps tied to a vendor's developer account become hostage situations. We handle submission, review responses, and releases against your accounts.
What happens after launch?
Mobile has an ongoing floor that web doesn't: iOS and Android ship annual releases, and both stores periodically require rebuilds against newer SDKs. Budget for maintenance even in a quiet year, or the app eventually stops being installable.
