Mobile App Development

Apps your users actually open again.

React Native or native - we build mobile apps that are fast, intuitive, and built for the platforms your users are on. Full lifecycle from brief to App Store.

Why Shwez Studio

Mobile-first thinking from the first wireframe.

Most web agencies treat mobile as an afterthought. We design and build mobile products where the platform constraints - gesture navigation, offline states, push permissions - shape decisions from day one.

Cross-platform or native

React Native for apps that need to ship on both platforms fast. Native Swift/Kotlin where performance or platform APIs demand it. We recommend what's right.

Full lifecycle

Design, development, App Store submission, TestFlight/beta testing, and post-launch monitoring - handled end to end.

Offline-ready

We design for unreliable connectivity from the start - local caching, sync queues, and graceful degradation.

Backend included

APIs, push notifications, authentication, and storage - we scope and build the backend your app needs, not a generic starter.

Scope of work

Every app engagement covers these foundations. Nothing you don't.

These are the mobile development standards we apply regardless of platform or complexity.

  • Cross-platform (React Native) or native (iOS/Android)
  • Authentication (email, social login, biometric)
  • Push notification setup
  • Offline support and data sync
  • App Store and Play Store submission
  • Analytics integration
  • Performance profiling
  • Beta testing (TestFlight / Firebase App Distribution)
  • API integration and backend setup
  • Post-launch monitoring
Engagement model

Mobile apps are scoped per project.

App complexity varies enormously - a simple utility app and a social platform with real-time features aren't comparable. We scope every mobile project individually based on the platform, feature set, backend requirements, and your timeline. Book a scoping call and we'll give you a clear fixed-price proposal.

How we build

From App Store submission to your users' hands.

Product scoping

Define core features, target platforms, and technical constraints. We'll flag assumptions that affect architecture before a line of code is written.

Design & prototype

Mobile-first wireframes and interactive prototype. Validated before build - changes in Figma are free, changes in code are not.

Build & test

Iterative development with weekly builds on TestFlight/Firebase. You test on a real device throughout - not just at the end.

Submit & launch

App Store and Play Store submissions handled. We manage review feedback, metadata, and screenshots - then monitor crash reports and analytics after go-live.

Questions? Answered.

If you don't see your question here, reach out - we typically respond within 24 hours.

React Native or native iOS/Android - which do you recommend?

React Native for most projects - it ships to both platforms faster and is more cost-effective to maintain. Native Swift or Kotlin where you need deep platform APIs (ARKit, Bluetooth, advanced camera features) or maximum performance. We'll recommend the right call in the scoping session.

Do you handle App Store submission?

Yes. We manage the full submission process - screenshots, metadata, App Store Connect setup, and handling review feedback. App Store and Google Play accounts need to be in your name, but we handle everything else.

Can you add to or fix an existing app?

Yes. We regularly work on existing React Native or native codebases - auditing the current state, fixing performance issues, adding features, or refactoring before a new release.

Do you build the backend as well?

Yes. Most apps need APIs, authentication, and storage. We scope and build the backend alongside the app so there are no integration gaps or mismatched assumptions.

What does post-launch support look like?

We include a post-launch monitoring and support period with every app. After that, we're available on a project basis for updates, new features, or OS compatibility fixes when Apple or Google releases a major update.
