We develop mobile applications for iOS and Android that deliver smooth user experiences and optimal performance. Native with Swift or Kotlin, or cross-platform with [React Native](https://eldev.fr/en/technologies/react-native/index.md) and Flutter, we choose the approach best suited to your project and budget. From idea to App Store and Google Play publishing, we support you at every stage: [UX design](https://eldev.fr/en/services/ui-ux-design/index.md), development, testing, deployment and [post-launch updates](https://eldev.fr/en/services/maintenance/index.md).

## Capabilities

### Cross-platform

Single codebase for iOS and Android with React Native or Flutter. Reduce development costs while delivering a native experience on both platforms, with faster time-to-market.

### Native apps

Maximum performance with Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android) for demanding applications. Full access to phone features: camera, GPS, sensors and secure local storage.

### Push notifications

User engagement through targeted and personalized notifications. Segment your audience, automate sends and boost retention with relevant messages at the right time.

### Store publishing

Full support for App Store and Google Play listing. Store listing optimization, screenshots, guideline compliance and monitoring during the first weeks after launch.

## Who is this service for?

You need a mobile app that ships and holds up, not a prototype that stalls halfway. From [healthcare](https://eldev.fr/en/sectors/healthcare/index.md) to logistics, the constraints are the same: stability, store approval and long-term upkeep.

- [Startup](https://eldev.fr/en/sectors/startups-saas/index.md) aiming to launch an iOS + Android MVP in 6 to 8 weeks to validate the market
- Business extending an [existing web service](https://eldev.fr/en/services/web-development/index.md) to a proper native mobile experience
- Internal tool for field teams, logistics staff or back-office, not a public-facing app
- Aging app that needs a full rewrite on a modern stack (React Native, Flutter or native)

## How it works.

We start with UX design for your app: user journeys, wireframes and mockups. Development follows an agile cycle with regular test builds. We then handle store publishing and post-launch support.

## What makes the difference.

Smooth, high-performing apps tested on real devices. We don't stop at publishing: we support you with updates and the ongoing evolution of your app.

## Frequently asked questions.

### React Native / Flutter vs native: which should I choose?

React Native and [Flutter](https://eldev.fr/en/technologies/flutter/index.md) target iOS and Android from a single codebase, the right call for an MVP or a tight budget, with results indistinguishable from native for most use cases. Native (Swift / Kotlin) makes sense for highly graphical apps, complex animations or heavy hardware access. We recommend the right approach at kickoff based on your timeline and budget.

### How much does a mobile app cost?

Mobile app cost varies a lot depending on the platform (cross-platform or native), number of screens, API integrations and back-office requirements. Every project is quoted after a free scoping session, [reach out](https://eldev.fr/en/contact/index.md) for an estimate within 12 hours.

### How long until we go live on the App Store and Google Play?

A well-scoped MVP is submitted to both stores in 6 to 10 weeks. Apple review averages 1 to 3 days (sometimes up to 2 weeks if rejected), Google Play approves in 24 to 72 hours. We prepare store listings, screenshots and descriptions that meet guidelines to maximize first-submission approval.

### Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?

We manage the full process: developer account setup or configuration for Apple ($99/year) and Google ($25 one-time), build submission, review response and post-publish monitoring. For the visual side of store listings, we pair with [UI/UX design](https://eldev.fr/en/services/ui-ux-design/index.md) to deliver screenshots and an icon that convert.

### Can you take over and modernize an existing app?

Yes. We audit the existing code, architecture, dependencies, performance, and propose a partial or full rewrite plan. Whether your app is on aging React Native, Cordova or unmaintained native code, we identify what to keep and what to rebuild. Ongoing [post-launch maintenance](https://eldev.fr/en/services/maintenance/index.md) is then available to keep your app current with new iOS and Android releases.
