Mobile & Cross-Platform App Development

iOS and Android apps that feel native because they are. React Native and Flutter for most products. Native Swift and Kotlin when performance, integrations, or platform APIs require it.

Who this is for

Product teams launching a new mobile app, modernizing an existing one, or extending a web product onto iOS and Android — and looking for a partner that takes platform conventions, App Store reality, and the post-launch update cadence as seriously as the feature roadmap.

What we solve

Mobile is unforgiving — slow to ship, expensive to fix in the wild, and ruthless about quality. We invest in the discipline mobile demands: device matrices, performance profiling, crash analytics, staged rollouts, and an update cadence that does not depend on heroic effort.

We build mobile apps that pass App Store review, run smoothly on three-year-old devices, and survive their first OS upgrade without an emergency release. The team has shipped enough mobile to know which decisions you can defer and which ones haunt you for the life of the product.

What we build

The systems we've shipped most often.

01

Cross-platform apps

React Native or Flutter — picked based on the team's skills, the integration surface, and the performance envelope. Both can ship App-Store-quality apps; the right choice depends on the project.

02

Native iOS and Android apps

Swift and Kotlin when performance, hardware integration, or platform-specific UX matters more than code sharing. We do not pretend cross-platform is always the right answer.

03

Companion mobile apps

Mobile complements to web SaaS products — read-mostly experiences, push notifications, mobile-first workflows that do not need full feature parity with the web app.

04

Offline-first applications

Apps that work in poor connectivity — local-first data, conflict resolution, background sync. Especially important for field workers, logistics, healthcare, and anyone whose users are not always online.

05

Real-time mobile

Chat, presence, live data, and collaborative experiences on mobile — built on WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, or platform push channels depending on the consistency model.

06

App Store delivery

Submission packages, review prep, staged rollouts, crash monitoring, and the post-launch update pipeline. Delivery is its own engineering discipline; we do not treat it as paperwork.

Capabilities

How the team is set up.

Cross-platform

React Native with the new architecture (Fabric, TurboModules) and Flutter for products where the design language and animation requirements favor it. TypeScript, native modules, and platform channels when needed.

Native

Swift with SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin with Jetpack Compose on Android. Used when integrations or performance demand it, or when the app's UX is platform-defining (e.g., camera-heavy, AR, hardware integration).

Delivery & operations

Fastlane for delivery automation, staged rollouts, crash reporting, performance monitoring, and the update cadence that keeps the app healthy without manual heroics.

Full delivery process

02

Strategy

Architecture decisions made before a single line of code. Stack selection, deployment model, third-party dependencies — documented, debated, decided.

03

Build

Iterative, with weekly demos. No black-box sprints. You see working software every week or we're not doing it right.

04

Ship

Zero-downtime deployments with rollback capability. Every release is tested, monitored, and documented. We don't disappear after launch.

05

Scale

Growth creates new problems. We stay engaged — performance tuning, infrastructure scaling, feature iteration. The relationship doesn't end at launch.

FAQ

Common questions

React Native or Flutter — which should we choose?+
Both are excellent. React Native usually wins when the team already writes React for the web; Flutter often wins when the design system requires precise pixel control or high-fidelity animation. The new React Native architecture (Fabric, TurboModules) closes most of the historical performance gap. We will recommend one based on the team and the product, not a default.
When should we go native instead?+
When the app is performance-critical (high-end gaming, AR, real-time camera processing), tightly coupled to platform APIs (HealthKit, CarPlay, Google Wallet), or where shipping platform-defining UX matters more than code sharing. For most business apps, cross-platform is the right answer.
Do you handle App Store and Play Store submission?+
Yes — submission, review prep, asset generation, staged rollouts, and the inevitable App Store rejection responses. We treat delivery as part of engineering, not as paperwork done by someone else.
How do you handle offline mode?+
By design — for products where it matters, we plan offline-first from day one with local data stores, optimistic updates, and conflict resolution. For products that are functionally online-only (most consumer apps), we still gracefully handle connectivity loss.
Do you support push notifications and deep linking?+
Yes. Push via APNS and FCM (or a higher-level service), deep linking via universal links and App Links, attribution if relevant. These are standard parts of any production mobile build.
