Native and cross-platform mobile app development.

## How to engage FreedomDev for Mobile Development

The path to building a native or cross-platform mobile app that connects to your existing business systems.

1. **Define the mobile use case and offline behavior** — Mobile apps that look like a website on a phone fail. We define the actual on-device user actions, the network conditions they happen in, and the offline behavior.
2. **Choose native vs. cross-platform** — iOS-only, Android-only, both, or a single React Native / Flutter codebase — the choice depends on user-base split, hardware-API needs, and budget. We make the trade-offs visible.
3. **Build with App Store and Play Store deliverability** — Build in two-week sprints, ship internal TestFlight / Play Internal Testing builds for review, and harden against the store-review checklists that kill submissions.
4. **Submit, launch, and iterate** — We handle the store submissions, monitor crash analytics, and ship updates against real usage data, not assumed requirements.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do you build native or cross-platform apps?

Both. We build native apps in Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android) for maximum performance, and cross-platform apps in React Native when budget and timeline favor a single codebase.

### Can your mobile app work offline?

Yes. We specialize in offline-first architecture with local databases, background sync, and conflict resolution. Your field teams can work without connectivity and sync when back online.

### Do you handle App Store submission?

Yes. We manage the entire submission process for both Apple App Store and Google Play, including compliance reviews, screenshot preparation, and responding to reviewer feedback.

### Can you build a mobile version of our existing web app?

Yes. We can build a companion mobile app that shares your existing backend, or we can wrap your web app in a native container with enhanced mobile features like push notifications and camera access.
