iOS and Android apps, with everything behind them.

A cross-platform app, built once in a framework such as React Native, suits most business apps and keeps cost and maintenance down. Native iOS and Android make sense when the product leans on platform-specific features, heavy graphics or demanding performance. A web app that installs from the browser can be enough when users work from a desk and need reach more than polish.

We make that choice with you at the start and write down the reasoning, so it can be revisited without a dispute.

Rules that must not diverge, such as pricing, permissions and validation, belong in the API so iOS, Android and the web all follow them. The app handles presentation, device features and offline behavior. Getting this split right early is what lets the same product grow to three screens without three sets of bugs.

Field workers and travelers lose signal, so we decide per feature whether it must work offline and how conflicting edits resolve when the connection returns. Push notifications go through a rule set that respects quiet hours and lets users choose what they receive, since a noisy app gets muted or deleted.

We scope the first release, design the screens, build in increments on test builds you can install and prepare the store listings. Both stores review apps against published guidelines, including rules on payments for digital goods and on privacy disclosures. We read the current guidelines at scoping and plan for review time instead of treating it as a surprise.

Operating systems update every year and can break things that worked. We agree an update and monitoring plan, with crash reports and usage data feeding the next release, and we hand over the build pipeline and accounts under your organization so you are never dependent on us to publish.
