Mobile apps people keep on the first screen
iOS and Android apps built with Flutter, React Native, Swift and Kotlin — Arabic-ready, offline-tolerant, integrated with your back office and shipped through both stores by a team that has done it before.
What separates an app that lasts from one that gets deleted
Getting an app into the stores is the easy half. The half that decides whether it survives is everything around it: an offline mode that behaves sanely on a patchy mobile network, push notifications that are useful rather than irritating, a release process that does not need a heroic weekend, and analytics honest enough to tell you which features nobody opens.
We build cross-platform by default. Flutter gives one codebase, one design system and one team across iOS and Android, which for most business apps halves the cost of every subsequent feature. We go native — Swift or Kotlin — when the app genuinely needs it: heavy camera or sensor work, tight platform integrations, or performance budgets a bridge cannot meet. We will tell you which case you are in during discovery rather than after.
For Gulf clients, Arabic is a first-class requirement. Right-to-left layout, bidirectional text, Arabic numerals, Hijri dates and locale-aware formatting are designed into the component library from the first screen. Retrofitting RTL into a finished app is one of the most expensive mistakes we get called in to repair.
What we build
From a first release to a mature app with a release train.
Cross-Platform Apps with Flutter
One codebase for iOS and Android with a shared design system, native performance and a single team — the default choice for most business and consumer apps.
Native iOS & Android
Swift and Kotlin builds where the platform demands it: heavy camera and sensor use, widgets and live activities, deep OS integration or strict performance budgets.
React Native & Web-Adjacent Apps
Where you already have a React team and a shared web codebase, React Native keeps one language across web and mobile and lets the same engineers ship both.
App Backends & APIs
The half of a mobile project people underestimate: authentication, sync, push, media storage, offline conflict resolution and the API layer over your existing systems.
AI Inside the App
On-device and cloud AI in mobile form — bilingual assistants, document capture and OCR from the camera, recommendations and voice input, with graceful offline behaviour.
Store Launch & Ongoing Release
App Store and Play submissions, review handling, staged rollouts, crash and performance monitoring, and a release train so shipping stops being an event.

How we build mobile
Four commitments we hold to on every engagement in this practice — and that you can hold us to.
-
01
Cross-platform unless native earns it
Flutter by default, native when the app genuinely needs it. We justify the choice against your feature list rather than defaulting to whatever bills more hours.
-
02
Offline is a design decision, not a bug fix
We decide early what works without a connection, how conflicts resolve and what the user sees when sync fails. Retrofitting that later is close to a rewrite.
-
03
Arabic and RTL from the first screen
Layout mirroring, bidirectional text, Hijri dates and Arabic numerals live in the component library from day one, tested with Arabic-speaking users.
-
04
You own the store listings
Apps are published under your developer accounts, with your certificates and your signing keys. You are never locked out of your own product.
A delivery model that de-risks the unknown
Fixed-scope discovery, then iterative delivery with working software in your hands every two weeks.
Discovery & Framing
Two to three weeks. We map the process, quantify the opportunity, test data readiness and return a costed architecture — yours to keep either way.
Architecture & Design
Solution architecture, security model, data flows, integration contracts and UX design, reviewed with your technical and compliance stakeholders.
Senior-Led Build
Two-week sprints, demoable increments, automated tests and CI/CD from sprint one. You see progress in a real environment, not a slide.
Validation & Hardening
Model evaluation, load and penetration testing, guardrail tuning, UAT with your users and a documented go-live runbook.
Launch, Support & Evolve
Managed go-live, 24/7 monitoring, cost optimisation and a quarterly roadmap so the platform keeps compounding value.
The stack we build production systems on
Chosen for longevity and total cost of ownership — never for novelty.
Model choice is a routing decision, not a loyalty test. Frontier models sit behind an abstraction so a cheaper — or in-region — model can take over a step without a rewrite, and every call is logged with its prompt version, latency and cost.
Infrastructure is code from the first week — no console clicks nobody can reproduce. Terraform describes the estate, containers carry the workloads, and the pipeline that deploys to production is the same one every engineer runs locally.
A lakehouse only earns its keep with governance. Bronze, silver and gold layers with contracts on the interfaces, tests on every transform, and lineage you can put in front of an auditor without a week of preparation.
.NET and TypeScript carry most of what we ship. Both have published support horizons, deep hiring pools across the Gulf and India, and no licensing surprise waiting three years out. Python joins them wherever the work is closer to the model than to the browser.
One codebase where the product allows it, native where the hardware demands it. Right-to-left layout, offline-first sync and store compliance are designed in at the start — each one is expensive to retrofit and all three are non-negotiable for a Gulf launch.
The value is rarely in the model — it is in the writeback. We connect to the ERP, CRM and ticketing systems the business already runs, with idempotent handlers, replay on failure and a dead-letter queue somebody actually watches.

Questions about Mobile App Development
Flutter for most business and consumer apps: one codebase, one design system and one team across iOS and Android, which meaningfully lowers the cost of every feature after the first. Go native when the app leans hard on the camera or sensors, needs widgets, live activities or deep OS integration, or has performance budgets a bridge cannot meet. We assess this in discovery and put the reasoning in writing.
A focused first release with a handful of core journeys typically runs US$25,000 to US$60,000 over ten to sixteen weeks, including both platforms if built cross-platform. Apps with complex back ends, payments, real-time features or offline sync generally fall between US$75,000 and US$180,000. Discovery is priced separately and fixed.
Ten to sixteen weeks is typical for a first release. Apple review usually takes one to three days once the submission is clean; we handle the metadata, privacy declarations, screenshots and review responses, which is where first-time submissions normally stall.
Yes. Right-to-left mirroring, bidirectional text, Arabic and Hindi numerals, Hijri calendars and locale-aware date and currency formatting are built into the component library from the start, and we test with Arabic-speaking users rather than relying on automated checks.
Yes, and for field, logistics and inspection apps we assume it will have to. We design the local data model, the sync strategy and the conflict-resolution rules up front, so the app degrades predictably instead of failing at the worst moment.
Yes. We start with an audit of the codebase, dependencies, crash rate, store standing and release process, then give you a prioritised plan. Often the first work is stabilising releases and crash rates before any new features.
You do. We publish under your Apple Developer and Google Play accounts using your signing keys, and the source lives in your repositories from the first commit.
