Mobile App Development

We recommend a native build in Swift (iOS) or Kotlin (Android) when the app needs capabilities that Flutter's platform channels cannot cleanly abstract: background health sensor streaming via Apple HealthKit, Bluetooth Low Energy peripherals with complex custom profiles, CarPlay or Android Auto integration, or platform-specific AR using ARKit or ARCore at a low level. For these cases, we build the affected module natively and, where both platforms are needed, maintain two separate native projects. We are transparent about the trade-off upfront: native dual builds take noticeably more engineering time than an equivalent Flutter project.

It depends on the number of screens and user roles, the backend and integrations, offline needs and any hardware access, so we do not quote a timeline before we understand the work. After the Understand and Plan steps you get a written plan with phases and target dates for the scope you approve. The free pilot of 2 to 3 key modules comes first, and the delivery plan for the full build is confirmed after you approve it. Apple and Google set their own store review times, so release dates allow for review.

Yes, fully. For the App Store, we configure App Store Connect, prepare screenshots at the iPhone sizes Apple requires, plus iPad if applicable, write the app description and keyword field, complete the privacy manifest, and submit for review. For Google Play, we configure the Play Console, prepare the feature graphic and screenshots, write the store listing, complete the data safety form and content rating questionnaire, and release to the production track. If Apple or Google raises a review issue, we respond and resubmit. Store submission is part of our delivery, not a separate service.

Most of our mobile apps connect to an ASP.NET Core or NestJS backend that exposes a versioned REST API over HTTPS. Authentication is handled with JWT tokens, and sensitive data is stored in PostgreSQL or SQL Server, with personal data fields encrypted where the plan calls for it. We also build a companion web panel in Next.js for operations or admin teams who need to manage data without going through the mobile app. Push notifications are delivered via APNs (Apple) and FCM (Google). If you already have an existing backend or a third-party API, we integrate against it rather than rebuilding.

Yes. We build iOS and Android apps for UK companies, delivered remotely, usually from one Flutter codebase that ships to both stores, built to be hosted in the UK or EU where required and designed to support your GDPR obligations (compliance remains your organization's responsibility and is confirmed by your own assessment). Most projects include a matching admin panel so your team can manage bookings, users and reports in one place. Our UK custom software development page covers the wider UK offer.

We design for these requirements from the start rather than adding them afterwards. Where GDPR applies, data collection is limited to its purpose, consent is part of onboarding and users can have their data deleted. Where HIPAA applies, health data can be encrypted on the device with Keychain or Keystore, connections can use certificate pinning, and data access can be logged. Card data is not stored in the app: payment SDKs such as Stripe or Braintree handle tokenization, which keeps PCI DSS scope small. We design to support your obligations; compliance remains your organization's responsibility and is confirmed by your own assessment.
