Mobile App Development Services for iOS & Android Apps

Timeline is driven by feature scope, not just the calendar: 

• MVP (core features only): 6–10 weeks - validated concept, primary user flows, and basic integrations. 

• Full Production App: 10–20 weeks - complete feature set, polished UI/UX, QA cycles, and App Store / Play Store submission. 

• Enterprise App with Integrations: 20+ weeks - complex backend integrations (Salesforce, ERP, APIs), advanced security requirements, and multi-environment deployment. 

Planning for QA, stakeholder review cycles, and store submission timelines is essential - these add 2–4 weeks beyond core development and are frequently underestimated. 

• Native (Swift for iOS / Kotlin for Android): Best-in-class performance, full access to device APIs, platform-specific UI conventions. Higher cost due to separate codebases for each platform. Recommended for performance-critical apps (real-time gaming, AR/VR, complex animations) or when deep platform integration is required. 

• Cross-Platform (React Native / Flutter): Single shared codebase delivers apps for both iOS and Android simultaneously, reducing development cost by 30–40% and time to market. Near-native performance for the vast majority of business use cases. The default recommendation for most enterprise and B2B mobile applications in 2026. 

Both are strong choices to go for. The decision comes down to your team and use case: 

• React Native: Better fit for teams with existing JavaScript expertise, large open-source community, proven performance for content-heavy and social apps, and strong integration with the broader web development ecosystem. Backed by Meta with significant enterprise adoption. 

• Flutter: Superior UI consistency across platforms - pixel-perfect design on both iOS and Android without platform-specific adjustments. Growing fast, particularly strong for enterprise applications, internal tools, and apps where consistent visual design is the priority. Backed by Google with accelerating community growth. 

For most B2B and enterprise mobile projects, Flutter's design consistency and React Native's ecosystem breadth both deliver excellent outcomes. Team familiarity with the underlying language (JavaScript vs. Dart) is often the deciding factor. 

Yes, and this is a significant differentiator compared to generic mobile development agencies. Building Salesforce-integrated mobile applications requires expertise beyond standard mobile development, including: 

• Salesforce Mobile SDK: Native framework for building apps with offline data sync, authentication, and push notifications on top of Salesforce data. 

• REST/SOAP API Integration: Real-time reads and writes to Salesforce objects from any mobile platform. 

• Offline Sync: Allowing field teams to capture data without connectivity, syncing automatically when a network connection is restored. 

• Push Notifications: Triggering alerts from Salesforce workflow events directly to mobile users. 

This combination of mobile engineering and Salesforce platform expertise means your app is not just well-built, it is properly integrated with your CRM data, security model, and business processes from day one. 

A well-run mobile development engagement follows these stages: 

1. Discovery & Requirements: Define business goals, user personas, core features, and technical constraints. 

1. Wireframing & Prototyping: Low-fidelity wireframes validated with stakeholders before any development begins. 

1. UI/UX Design: High-fidelity designs, interaction patterns, and design system creation. 

1. Development: Iterative sprint-based build - typically 2-week sprints with demos and feedback loops. 

1. QA & Testing: Functional testing, device compatibility, performance, security, and UAT. 

1. Deployment: App Store and Google Play submission, release management, and production environment setup. 

1. Post-Launch Support: Bug monitoring, OS update compatibility, performance optimization, and feature iteration. 

Annual mobile app maintenance typically runs 15–25% of the initial build cost. For a $100,000 app, budget $15,000–$25,000/year for ongoing upkeep. This covers: 

• OS Updates: Apple and Google release major iOS and Android updates annually - apps must be tested and updated to maintain compatibility and App Store compliance. 

• Bug Fixes: Production issues discovered by real users after launch require ongoing monitoring and resolution. 

• Server & Infrastructure Costs: Backend hosting, API costs, and database management. 

• Feature Enhancements: Iterating on the product based on user feedback and evolving business requirements. 

Maintenance is a frequently underestimated cost category. Build it into your business case from the start.

Yes. As a Salesforce app development company using a cross-platform approach with React Native or Flutter, we deliver fully functional iOS and Android applications from a single shared codebase - significantly reducing development time and cost compared to building two separate native apps. Both platforms are submitted and launched simultaneously. For performance-critical use cases where platform-specific capabilities are essential, we also build native iOS (Swift) and native Android (Kotlin) applications. Our team will recommend the right approach based on your feature requirements, performance needs, and budget during the initial discovery phase.
