// WHAT WE DELIVER

Mobile that ships, not mobile that demos.

Native performance, App Store / Google Play approval handling, push notifications, in-app purchases, deep linking — production basics handled.

Flutter development

Single-codebase apps for iOS and Android with native-quality performance and platform fidelity.

iOS app development

Native Swift/SwiftUI for performance-sensitive or platform-specific apps.

Android app development

Native Kotlin/Jetpack Compose for Android-first or Android-heavy markets.

React Native apps

React Native when you want shared web/mobile skills or have a React-heavy team.

Delivery apps

End-to-end delivery: customer app, driver app, dispatch backend, live tracking.

Marketplace apps

Two-sided marketplace with payments, ratings, in-app messaging, dispute handling.

Booking apps

Service booking, appointments, restaurants — with calendar integration and reminders.

Enterprise mobile

Internal field-force apps, sales enablement, inventory scanning, MDM-managed deployments.

Mobile-first SaaS

Mobile-primary SaaS platforms with full offline-first architecture.

// HOW IT WORKS

From wireframe to App Store.

Mobile has higher fixed costs than web — release cycles, app store reviews, OS updates. Our process accounts for all of it.

UX & technical design

Wireframes, design system, technical architecture, platform choice. Output: a costed, scoped build plan.

Sprint-based build

Two-week sprints with TestFlight / Play Console internal track builds for every demo.

Beta & store submission

External beta, app store assets, privacy declarations, App Store and Play Store review handling.

Launch & iteration

Production launch with crash monitoring (Sentry/Crashlytics), performance dashboards, version cadence.

// THE DETAIL

How to not get stuck in mobile development hell

Mobile development punishes mistakes harder than web. App store rejections delay launches. Crashes happen on devices you'll never own. iOS and Android diverge in subtle ways. Production debugging requires reproducing on specific OS versions. Half of your effort goes into things that aren't features.

The decisions that disproportionately determine project success:

The stack choice

Flutter, React Native, native iOS, native Android, or web-wrapped — each has a real use case. Flutter is our default for most product apps: single codebase, near-native performance, excellent UI fidelity. React Native if your team is already deep in React. Native when you need platform-specific features (HealthKit, ARKit, advanced camera), maximum performance, or App Store optimisation matters more than development speed. Web-wrapped almost never — the user experience suffers.

The backend question

The app is half the project. The other half is the backend it talks to: APIs, authentication, push notification infrastructure, payments, file storage, analytics. Teams that treat the backend as "we'll figure it out later" end up rebuilding it 6 months in. We always scope mobile projects as app + backend, with the backend often being half the budget.

The operational burden

An app needs ongoing care: iOS update reviews, Android OS compatibility, occasional emergency releases, store policy changes, certificate renewals, in-app purchase agreements, third-party SDK updates. We budget 10–20% of original build cost per year for ongoing maintenance — and that's for a healthy app. Apps without this care quietly degrade.

The mobile engineers we work with have shipped apps that have crossed 100K+ downloads. They've handled Apple's mandatory App Tracking Transparency rollout, Google's policy changes on payments, the iOS 17 widget changes — the ongoing operational reality of mobile.

If you're starting a mobile project, the most expensive thing you can do is start coding before you've made these decisions. We can help with a 1–2 week scoping engagement that produces a stack recommendation, build estimate, and operational cost model.

// FREQUENTLY ASKED

Common questions

Flutter vs React Native vs Native — which?+
Default to Flutter for most product apps — single codebase, near-native performance, great UI. React Native if your team is already React-heavy. Native iOS/Android if you need platform-specific APIs (ARKit, HealthKit, advanced camera) or you're a single-platform business.
How long does a typical app take to build?+
Simple apps (3–5 screens, basic backend): 8–12 weeks. Mid-complexity (15–25 screens, payments, real-time features): 14–22 weeks. Complex (delivery, marketplace, enterprise): 20–32 weeks. These include backend, design polish, and App Store submission.
How much does a mobile app cost?+
Honest ranges: Simple app + backend: AED 50–120K. Mid-complexity (delivery, booking, marketplace MVP): AED 150–300K. Complex enterprise or production-grade marketplace: AED 350K+. Plus 15–20% per year for maintenance.
Do you handle App Store and Play Store submission?+
Yes — including all the unfun parts: developer account setup, store listings, screenshots, privacy declarations, App Tracking Transparency setup, in-app purchase configuration, review handling, expedited review requests when needed.
Can you integrate payments in-app?+
Yes. For physical goods or services: Telr, NGenius, Stripe, Checkout.com via Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card. For digital goods: Apple In-App Purchase and Google Play Billing (mandatory for digital content per platform policy).
What about ongoing maintenance after launch?+
We offer monthly retainers — typically AED 6–25K/month depending on app complexity. Covers OS update compatibility, security patches, minor features, bug fixes, store policy changes, and 1–2 small feature releases per month.
