Native iOS and Android apps

Native makes sense when the app must be as smooth as possible or relies heavily on phone features such as the camera, Bluetooth, biometrics, location or offline mode. It also gives full access to new system capabilities right after they ship. The cost is two separate projects, in Swift and Kotlin, which usually means more work than React Native. For simpler apps we often recommend cross-platform.

After a workshop and UX/UI design, we build the iOS app in Swift and SwiftUI and the Android app in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose. Both can progress in parallel, but each has its own code, tests and release schedule. We work iteratively, and you receive builds through TestFlight and Google Play internal testing. Timing depends on the number of features and device integrations, and we give a date after the analysis.

A native app means two separate codebases that must be written, tested and maintained, so the scope of work is wider than with a single codebase. Price is also shaped by the number of screens, hardware features (Bluetooth, camera, biometrics), offline mode, backend and integrations. We split the estimate into stages, and with a limited budget we can start with one platform and add the other later.

We test on various models and OS versions, because Android in particular runs on very diverse hardware. Sensitive data goes into secure system storage (Keychain, Keystore), API communication is encrypted, and biometrics use system mechanisms. Our security processes are aligned with ISO/IEC 27001. No team can test every device, so after release we monitor crash and error reports.

Not after every one, but regularly. Apple and Google change requirements each year, deprecate old interfaces and raise minimum target versions, and stores may require updates. That is why ongoing support is worth planning: fixes, adaptation to new system versions and feature development. The code and documentation are yours, so you can run this on your own or with us.
