Mobile App Development

Every mobile engagement starts with the same argument, and it’s the right one: native or cross-platform. The honest answer depends on what the app actually needs to do. For most B2B and internal apps, React Native with Expo ships the same product in two thirds of the budget. For apps where haptics, deep OS integration, or the difference between 58fps and 60fps is commercially meaningful, we write native Swift and Kotlin. We’ll tell you which side of that line your product sits on, and we’ll say so before you sign.

On the cross-platform side, Expo’s managed workflow has matured to the point where most teams can avoid ever opening Xcode or Android Studio for normal work. EAS Build handles the chain from commit to store submission; EAS Update handles the runtime patch story for the bugs you only find in production. We default to Expo for new React Native work, and we’ll migrate legacy bare-workflow codebases to it when the client has the appetite.

On the native side, we write SwiftUI with UIKit fallbacks where the SwiftUI ceiling still bites, and Jetpack Compose with Views interop where Android’s Compose story is ready. Both platforms are in a healthier state than they were three years ago, and the native route — which used to mean doubling the team size — can often be run with a small, senior group if the scope is honest.

We write the tests, the analytics, and the error reporting from the first sprint. We set up TestFlight and internal Play Store tracks for stakeholder review before anything’s customer-facing. And we ship with a runbook that covers the release process, the rollback process, and the escalation path when the next iOS release breaks something quietly.
