React Native or Native Apps: How to Choose an Architecture
Compare shared iOS and Android code with separate native implementations around product requirements, integrations, team skills and maintenance.
Mobile App Development
Cross-platform iOS and Android applications built with native performance and intuitive flow.
Built around your reality.
We develop mobile applications for iOS and Android using React Native. Your project scope defines the user journeys, integrations, device support, offline behavior, testing, and store submission work.
What you walk away with.
The deliverables below describe work we can discuss for your project. The included features, integrations, tests, and handover materials are specified in your project agreement.
- Cross-Platform iOS & Android Codebase (React Native / Expo)
- Offline-First Data Synchronization & Local Caching
- Native Device Integration (Biometrics, Camera, Geolocation, Push Notifications)
- Secure Authentication & Token Refresh Pipelines
- App Store & Google Play Store Submission Management
- Automated Crash Reporting & Telemetry (Sentry / Datadog)
Outside this service.
- Embedded firmware / Bluetooth low-level hardware kernel driver development
- Guaranteed App Store editorial feature placements (controlled solely by Apple/Google)
Source files & handover
After the agreed payment conditions are met, we deliver the source files and documentation listed in your project agreement. That agreement defines rights to custom work and licenses for existing tools and third-party components.
Every decision matters.
Cross-Platform (React Native) vs Dual Native Codebases (Swift + Kotlin)
A shared codebase can reduce duplicated work across iOS and Android. Native integrations, device support, accessibility, and performance still need project-specific testing; separate native development may suit some requirements better.
Offline-First Sync vs Strict Online Fetching
Local storage can keep agreed features usable without a connection. Synchronization needs clear conflict handling and testing under interrupted network conditions.
From first conversation to delivery.
Your project timeline is agreed after we review the scope, integrations, and technical requirements. Your proposal sets out the delivery milestones and responsibilities.
Mobile Product Scoping & Interactive Wireframes
Mapping touch-first ergonomics, thumb-zone navigation, and critical task paths.
UI Design & Component Prototyping
Pixel-perfect mobile design systems adhering to Apple Human Interface & Material Design guidelines.
Core Engineering & Device Testing
Building screens, state persistence, API synchronization, and real hardware testing across iOS and Android devices.
Store Compliance & Release Orchestration
Preparing store listings, privacy declarations, screenshot assets, and handling store review cycles.
A little more perspective.
A few things worth knowing.
A few answers to help you plan your project. Commitments specific to your engagement are defined in your project agreement.
Do you publish the application to both Apple App Store and Google Play Store?
Where included in the scope, we prepare submissions using your developer accounts and help address review feedback. Developer account fees, approvals, review times, and store decisions are controlled by Apple and Google.
Can the mobile application share backend APIs with our web platform?
Yes. We deliberately engineer backend APIs to serve web and mobile clients symmetrically, reducing duplication and hosting overhead.
How do you handle ongoing iOS and Android OS updates?
Post-launch support is scoped separately in your project agreement, including any defect correction period, maintenance tasks, and response times. Ongoing maintenance and new features require an agreed scope and budget.
