Cross-Platform Mobile Development
Production-grade iOS and Android applications from a single codebase — native performance, fluid animations, offline support, and deeply integrated device capabilities.
Mobile-First. Native Quality. Single Codebase.
React Native has matured to the point where a single codebase, architected correctly, is indistinguishable from native in both performance and user experience. The key word is 'architected correctly'. I structure applications with shared business logic, centralised state, and platform-aware UI components that respect iOS and Android design conventions independently — not a web app wrapped in a shell.
Offline-first data strategies are foundational, not optional. Every mobile app I build assumes connectivity will be unreliable: MMKV for fast local storage, optimistic UI updates, background sync queues, and conflict resolution mean the app works correctly regardless of network conditions. Users on spotty connections never see spinners — they see their data.
I manage the full mobile delivery lifecycle: API design that serves mobile clients efficiently, push notification infrastructure, biometric authentication, App Store and Google Play submission, and Fastlane pipelines for automated release. You get a working product in both stores, not just a demo on a simulator.
2 stores
Single React Native codebase ships to iOS App Store and Google Play simultaneously.
60fps
Consistently smooth animations using native driver and React Native Reanimated.
Core Capabilities
Proven engineering solutions for complex, real-world business problems.
Native-Feel UI
Platform-aware components with haptic feedback, gesture systems, and animations at 60fps via React Native Reanimated — feeling native on both iOS and Android.
Offline-First Architecture
MMKV / WatermelonDB local persistence, optimistic UI, background sync queues, and conflict resolution for seamless offline-to-online transitions.
Push Notifications
FCM and APNs integration with rich notifications, deep linking, action buttons, and a user-facing notification preference centre.
Biometric & Secure Auth
Face ID, Touch ID, and device PIN authentication with secure token storage in the iOS Keychain and Android Keystore.
Native Device Features
Camera, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC, microphone, contacts, calendar, in-app purchases, and deep linking — accessed via Expo modules or custom native bridges.
App Store Submission
End-to-end submission to iOS App Store and Google Play including certificates, metadata, screenshots, and Fastlane automation for future releases.
The Engagement Process
Discovery & UX Planning
Map user journeys, define navigation architecture, and agree on the feature set and platform-specific interactions before any code is written.
Architecture & API Design
Design the app architecture, state management strategy, and mobile-optimised API endpoints in parallel to eliminate backend blocking.
UI Component Build
Implement the design system, navigation stack, and core screens with platform-appropriate patterns for iOS and Android.
Feature Development
Sprint-based feature development with weekly TestFlight / internal track builds so you can test on real devices throughout.
QA & Store Submission
Device testing across iOS and Android versions, performance profiling, accessibility review, and App Store / Play Store submission.
Primary Technology Stack
Pricing & Investment
Mobile app development is priced on the feature set and backend complexity. Building for two platforms natively would double the cost — React Native gives you both iOS and Android from a single codebase without compromising on quality.
Mobile MVP
£8,000 – £18,000
Core app screens, authentication, push notifications, and API integration. Submitted to both the App Store and Google Play. Typical timeline of 6–10 weeks.
Ideal for: Startups validating a mobile product, companion apps for existing web platforms
Full-Featured App
£18,000 – £45,000
Complex navigation, offline-first data, biometric auth, in-app purchases, maps integration, real-time features, and a complete App Store listing with Fastlane CI.
Ideal for: Consumer apps, FinTech mobile products, marketplace and on-demand apps
Enterprise Mobile
£45,000+
MDM integration, custom native modules, multi-platform (tablet + phone), large team collaboration features, compliance requirements, and long-term engineering retainer.
Ideal for: Enterprise field-force apps, regulated industries, large-scale consumer platforms
App Store and Google Play submission is included in every engagement. Fastlane automation for future OTA updates is set up as standard so your team can ship updates independently.
