Do I need both iOS and Android at launch?

Usually yes, because cross-platform makes the second one nearly free. Where it can pay to launch on one first is when your users are clearly on one platform and you want feedback before spending on polish.

Who owns the App Store and Google Play accounts?

You do. We publish under your developer accounts, not ours. Apps published under an agency account are painful to move later and put your listing at someone else's mercy.

What if Apple rejects the app?

We deal with it. Rejections are part of shipping and most are resolved with a corrected declaration or a note to the reviewer. It is included, not billed as extra work.

Can you take over an app another team built?

Often yes. We review the codebase first and tell you honestly whether continuing is cheaper than rebuilding the core. We will not claim a broken codebase is salvageable just to win the work.

Native or cross-platform, and how to actually choose

Cross-platform with Flutter or React Native is the right default for most products. One codebase, both stores, and the performance gap is invisible for the overwhelming majority of apps. It genuinely halves the cost of everything that follows, including maintenance.

Go native when the app lives or dies on something platform specific: heavy camera or video processing, tight watch or widget integration, background behaviour the platforms treat differently, or a demanding real-time interface. We will tell you which side your product falls on during scoping, and it is cross-platform more often than not.

The parts founders underestimate

Push notifications that fire reliably when the app is closed, offline behaviour when someone is on a train, in-app purchases verified against Apple and Google rather than trusted from the device, and account deletion, which both stores now require. Each of these is small in a spec and large in a build.

The other one is the admin side. Every app needs somewhere to see users, handle reports, fix bad data, and answer support questions. Leaving it out of scope means it gets built anyway, later, in a hurry.

Getting through store review

Rejections are normal and mostly predictable. The recurring causes are missing privacy declarations, sign-in requirements, payments routed outside the store for digital goods, incomplete account deletion, and demo credentials that do not work for the reviewer. We handle submission and prepare for those.

Budget a few days for review on a first submission and less on updates. If your launch date is fixed, we submit earlier than feels necessary, because appealing a rejection costs more time than waiting.

After launch, which is when the real work starts

Apps are not finished at release. The stores change their requirements every year, operating systems break things annually, and your first real users find the paths you never tested. We include two weeks of fixes after launch, and offer a maintenance plan for the ongoing compliance and OS updates.

You own the store listings, signing keys, and code from day one, so you are never stuck with us to ship an update.
