Native app development

• Customer apps for bookings, requests, account information or updates.
• Field and staff apps for checklists, job records and information captured away from a desk.
• Mobile companions to an existing web app or portal, using the same backend where practical.
• App features such as camera uploads, location, push notifications or offline capture, where they fit the project and device permissions.

We build native iOS and Android apps with React Native and TypeScript. React Native uses native interface components and lets us share much of the code across the two platforms. We scope platform-specific modules or screens where shared code is unsuitable. A Cloudflare Workers API can connect the app to data and other services, and Next.js with React can power a companion web or admin portal.

We agree which devices and operating systems to support, what permissions the app needs and how it behaves when the connection drops. If people must work offline, we agree what can be saved locally, how updates sync and what happens when two people change the same record.

Depending on the scope, we can prepare test builds, check the main journeys on representative iOS and Android devices and help prepare submissions for the App Store and Google Play. We agree who owns the developer accounts, signing credentials and store listings. Store review and approval are handled by Apple and Google.

If people can do the whole job in a browser, a web application may be a better starting point. A native app makes more sense when the job depends on installed access, device features or working away from a reliable connection.

Tell us who will use the app, whether it needs iOS, Android or both, and which tasks people need to complete on the go. Mention any existing API, companion website, device features or offline requirements.
