Mobile app development
Native and cross-platform mobile apps with offline support, push notifications, secure storage and store release management.
Android and iOS apps people keep on their home screen.
6 deliverables, a 5-stage approach and 9 related technologies.
Overview
Mobile apps live under tighter constraints than the web: intermittent networks, limited storage, battery budgets and app-store review. Good mobile engineering plans for all of them.
We build cross-platform apps with React Native, Expo or Flutter when one codebase serves both platforms well, and native Kotlin or Swift when the product needs deep platform integration.
What we deliver
- Android and iOS builds from a single or native codebase
- Offline data and sync strategy
- Push notification setup (FCM / APNs)
- Secure storage for tokens and sensitive data
- Store listings, signing keys and release pipeline
- Crash reporting and analytics with consent
Use cases
Typical situations where this service is the right fit.
Field and operations apps
Staff record visits, scan items or capture photos even without signal; data syncs later.
Customer apps
Ordering, booking, loyalty or account management with notifications.
White-label apps
One codebase published as several branded apps for different clients or locations.
How we work
The stages we follow. Each ends with something you can review.
- 01
Decide native vs cross-platform from requirements, not preference
- 02
Design for one-handed use and small screens first
- 03
Test on low-end Android devices and slow networks
- 04
Automate builds and store submissions
- 05
Staged rollouts with monitoring
Things to consider
Questions worth answering before you commit budget.
- Apple and Google charge developer account fees and review every release; plan release timing around review.
- White-label iOS apps generally need to be published from the client's own developer account.
- Offline sync needs explicit conflict rules agreed with the business.
Technologies and engagement
Technologies we often use
We choose the stack with you; this is a starting point, not a requirement.
