The mobile app development process
Every mobile app development project here runs the same disciplined path, whether it ends up a PWA, a React Native cross-platform build, or a fully native iOS or Android app. First we scope the app — its core jobs, the platforms it must reach, and the data it touches. Then we choose the right approach: native when raw performance or a platform-specific API demands it, cross-platform when one codebase serving both stores is the smarter spend, and a Progressive Web App when speed-to-launch matters more than store distribution. From there it is design, hand-coded build, real-device testing, and submission to the App Store and Google Play. You are looped in at each stage, and you own the source code and the developer accounts at the end.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right type of mobile app development?
Start with how the app will be used. If it needs heavy device features (camera-grade performance, complex offline use, tight platform integration) or has to feel perfectly native on one platform, go native. If you want to reach both iPhone and Android users on one budget and one codebase, cross-platform mobile app development with React Native or Capacitor is usually the right call. If you mainly need something installable and fast to ship — an internal business tool or an early consumer launch — a PWA gets you there in weeks without app store review. A free consultation sorts this in one conversation.
What's the difference between native, cross-platform, and PWA?
Native (Swift/Kotlin) gives maximum performance and access to every platform API. Cross-platform (React Native, Capacitor) ships one codebase to both iOS and Android with ~70-80% of native performance. PWA (Progressive Web App) is installable from the web without app store review — best for B2B tools and rapid iteration.
How long does mobile app development take?
PWA: 2-4 weeks. Cross-platform: 6-10 weeks. Native iOS or Android: 8-14 weeks. Add 1-2 weeks for App Store and Google Play review.
Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?
Yes. Pricing includes full submission, App Store Connect setup, listing copy, screenshots, and one round of review responses if the stores flag anything. You own the developer account and the published app.
What does mobile app development cost?
PWA from $1,997. Cross-platform from $2,997. Native iOS or Android from $4,997. Full quote within 24 hours of free consultation. No card required.
