React Native Mobile App Development

We build cross-platform mobile applications with React Native. One codebase gives you native performance and user experience on both iOS and Android, with less development time and cost.

Why React Native for Your Mobile App?

React Native is our framework of choice for mobile app development because it balances good performance with lower development time and cost. With React Native, we can build truly native mobile applications using a single codebase that runs on both iOS and Android.

This approach means you launch sooner, spend less on development and maintain one codebase instead of two, while your users still get the native performance and experience they expect. Companies like Facebook, Instagram and Tesla use React Native in their mobile apps.

React Native is our default for mobile work. We know the framework well and use it to build high-quality, scalable apps that meet your business objectives.

React Native Mobile Development

Cross-Platform Efficiency

Write once, run everywhere. React Native allows us to develop for both iOS and Android simultaneously, reducing development time by up to 50% while maintaining native performance.

Native Performance

React Native apps compile to native code, providing the same performance and user experience as apps built with native iOS and Android development tools.

Cost-Effective Development

Significantly reduce development and maintenance costs with a single codebase that serves both platforms, while maintaining the ability to add platform-specific features when needed.

React Native Development Ecosystem

We use current React Native tools and libraries to build mobile apps that are reliable and easy to scale.

React Native Development Process

A streamlined process for building and shipping high-quality React Native apps.

1

Discovery & Planning

We analyse your requirements, audience and business goals, then plan the development approach and technical architecture for your React Native app.

2

UI/UX Design

Our designers create intuitive interfaces that work well on both iOS and Android and respect each platform's design guidelines.

3

React Native Development

We build your application using React Native best practices, implementing features, integrating APIs, and ensuring optimal performance across both platforms.

4

Testing & Optimisation

Thorough testing on real devices, performance optimisation and platform-specific adjustments, so your app works properly on every device you target.

5

Deployment

We handle the complete app store submission process for both iOS App Store and Google Play Store, including compliance with all platform requirements.

6

Maintenance & Updates

Ongoing support, bug fixes, feature updates, and React Native version upgrades to keep your app current and performing optimally.

Beyond the App Store

Launching is just the beginning. We provide ongoing support, performance monitoring, and iterative improvements based on real user data.

  • App Store Optimisation (ASO) for discoverability
  • Crash reporting and real-time performance monitoring
  • Push notification strategy and engagement analytics
  • Regular updates for new OS versions and devices

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about building a cross-platform mobile app.

For most apps, yes, including ones with logins, real-time data, media playback and offline behaviour. We have shipped a production React Native app built with Expo, Redux Toolkit and Supabase, running Apple sign-in and audio playback on iOS and Android from one codebase. Apps that lean hard on platform-specific hardware, heavy graphics or low-level performance work are still better served by native builds, and if yours is one of them we would rather say so at the start.

The main drivers are the number of distinct screens and flows, whether a backend and API already exist to build against, and how settled the design is. Reusing an existing API with a finished design is a very different job from building the data model, authentication and admin tooling alongside the app. Payments, video or messaging add integration and testing on top. There are also running costs that are yours rather than ours: Apple and Google developer accounts, and whatever services the app depends on. We price from a written feature list, not from a page like this.

Scope drives it far more than the framework does: a first release with a few core flows moves quickly compared with an app carrying social features, payments and an admin dashboard. Store review then adds time at the end, and a first submission to Apple often comes back asking for changes, so it is worth leaving room for that instead of booking a launch date against the day the code is finished. We schedule once scope is agreed and re-cut the schedule in the open when scope moves.

Expo is a toolchain and library set on top of React Native that handles builds, over-the-air updates and many native modules for you, which keeps you out of Xcode and Gradle most of the time. Bare React Native hands you the native projects directly, which matters when you need a native SDK that Expo does not cover. Development builds have narrowed that gap considerably, and custom native code is now normal inside an Expo project, so we start with Expo and add native code where a specific integration calls for it.

Yes. We have implemented Apple sign-in and audio playback in a production app, and push notifications, biometrics, camera access, deep links and in-app purchases are all covered by maintained libraries. The friction usually comes from store policy rather than the framework: Apple sets rules about which login options must sit alongside third-party sign-in, and those rules have changed more than once, while background audio only works if the build declares the right capability. Check the current guidelines for anything your app leans on.

You do: the code, the repository and the store listings. Wherever possible we publish under your own Apple Developer and Google Play accounts, so your company stays the account holder and a later handover does not have to route through us. Apps also need maintenance after launch whoever builds them, because OS releases, SDK deprecations and store policy changes force updates over time. We usually set up crash and error reporting with Sentry, so problems on real devices arrive as reports rather than as complaints.
