One codebase, two platforms
React Native and Expo let us build for iOS and Android together, keeping features consistent and maintenance simpler.

Mobile App Development for iOS and Android
iOS and Android apps from one codebase, built with React Native and Expo. We cover the full picture — backend, admin panel, push notifications, store publishing and over-the-air updates — as we did for our own Dessoci app.
- React Native
- Expo
- iOS and Android
- API and admin panel
- Push notifications
- Store publishing
HighlightsThe whole product, not just screens
Backend, API, admin panel, notifications, analytics and store publishing are planned as one system from the start.
We use what we build
Our clients follow their projects in the Dessoci app, which we designed and built ourselves with the same approach.
From idea to store
Apps people keep using
Success in mobile starts after the first download. We design simple flows, plan performance and notifications carefully, and keep improving after launch. Our own Dessoci app was built this way.

- Notifications and analytics

A good mobile app becomes part of someone’s routine. It saves them time, keeps them connected to your business and gives them a reason to come back. Building one well means thinking beyond the screens: the backend that powers it, the admin panel your team uses, the notifications that bring people back and the process of getting it into the stores and keeping it up to date.
Is a mobile app the right move?
Not every business needs an app. Sometimes a fast, mobile-friendly website does the job better and costs less to maintain. An app tends to make sense when customers return frequently, when they need an account, bookings or orders at their fingertips, or when features such as notifications, offline use or device capabilities really matter.
We are happy to have that conversation honestly. If a well-built website is the better answer, our web development service may be the right place to start.
What we build
Cross-platform apps with React Native and Expo
We build iOS and Android apps from a single codebase using React Native and Expo. The result is a genuinely native app on both platforms, with shared logic that keeps features consistent and updates efficient. When a feature needs platform-specific code, we add native modules where they are needed.
Backend, API and admin panel
Behind most apps sits a server that handles accounts, data and business logic. We design the API and database alongside the app, and build an admin panel your team can use to manage users, content and orders. If you already have a system, such as an online store, we connect the app to it.
Push notifications
Notifications are powerful when they are useful and irritating when they are not. We set up push notifications with clear rules about what triggers them, who receives them and how users control them, so they support engagement instead of driving uninstalls.
Store publishing and over-the-air updates
We prepare store listings, screenshots and privacy information, submit builds to the App Store and Google Play and guide them through review. After launch, over-the-air updates let us ship certain fixes and improvements quickly, while native changes go through a new store release.
Proof in practice: the Dessoci app
Our clients follow their projects in the Dessoci app. In it, they can see work steps, approve content before it is published, review SEO analyses presented in a clear, presentation-style format, read monthly reports and message the team directly.
We designed and built the app ourselves with React Native and Expo, along with its backend and admin tools. It means we work with the same stack, publishing process and update cycle we recommend to clients, and we understand the day-to-day realities of running an app, not just launching one. You can read more about us and how we work.
How we work
We start with discovery: the problem the app solves, who will use it and which features belong in the first version. A clickable prototype lets you try the main flows before development begins. During development, you receive regular test builds to install on your own phone, and progress is shared step by step in the Dessoci app.
A clear visual identity makes an app feel trustworthy from the first launch. If your brand needs refreshing, our logo and brand identity service can prepare app icons and visual guidelines alongside the build.
After launch
Publishing an app is a milestone, not the finish line. Apple and Google update their operating systems and store requirements regularly, devices change and real users will always find ways to use an app that no one anticipated. We monitor stability and crash reports, ship fixes quickly — over the air where the rules allow — and plan new features based on how people actually use the app.
If you have an app idea or an existing app that needs a new direction, tell us about it. We will help you define a sensible first version and a plan to grow from there.

Why React Native and Expo instead of fully native apps?
For most business apps, a shared codebase means faster development, consistent features on both platforms and simpler maintenance. React Native still produces real native apps, and native modules can be added when a feature needs them.
Do we need a backend for our app?
Most apps do. User accounts, content, orders and notifications all need a server and a database. We design and build the API and an admin panel so your team can manage everything behind the app.
How long does it take to build an app?
It depends heavily on scope. A focused first version is usually much faster to deliver than a feature-complete product, which is why we recommend starting with the essentials and growing from there. We share a phased plan after discovery.
What are over-the-air updates?
They let us deliver certain fixes and improvements to the JavaScript side of the app without a full store release, within Apple's and Google's rules. Changes to native code or permissions still require a new store build.
Do you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We prepare store listings, screenshots and privacy details and handle submission. We recommend that developer accounts are registered in your company's name so the apps always belong to you.
What happens if the app is rejected during store review?
Rejections happen and are usually solvable. We design with store guidelines in mind from the start, and if a reviewer raises an issue, we address it and resubmit.
Do you maintain the app after launch?
Yes. Operating systems and store requirements change regularly, so we offer ongoing maintenance, updates and new feature development.
