Cross-platform Mobile App (Flutter / React Native)
About This Service
Cross-platform Mobile App Development with Flutter and React Native in the UAE
I build production mobile apps from a single codebase that ships to both the App Store and Google Play — Flutter when you want maximum rendering control and one binary everywhere, React Native when your team already lives in JavaScript and wants to share logic with a web app. For Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah businesses this typically cuts build cost by 30-40% versus writing two native apps, without the compromises of a wrapped website.
The build covers the features UAE consumer and B2B apps actually need: push notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging, in-app payments with Apple Pay and Google Pay alongside regional card gateways such as Tap and Telr, and offline-first patterns with local caching and sync so the app stays usable on a weak connection in a basement car park or on a site in the desert. Arabic localization is treated as a first-class requirement — RTL layouts, Arabic strings and locale-aware dates and numbers from day one, not a patch after launch.
I handle the full release path: provisioning, store listings, screenshots, review-guideline compliance and the actual App Store and Google Play submissions under your developer accounts. Free-zone startups and mainland SMEs get a launched app, not a code dump — and AED pricing in the storefronts where it matters.
What's included
- One codebase, two platforms — A single Flutter or React Native codebase shipping native builds for iOS and Android.
- App Store + Google Play submission — Store listings, screenshots, compliance checks and submission handled under your accounts.
- Push notifications — Firebase Cloud Messaging setup with segmented campaigns and deep links into the app.
- Payments wired in — Apple Pay, Google Pay and regional gateways such as Tap or Telr integrated and tested in sandbox.
- Offline-first behaviour — Local caching and background sync so core features work on poor connectivity.
- Arabic localization — RTL layouts and Arabic/English string management built in from the first sprint.
How it works
- 1Scope and stack choice
We define the MVP feature set and I recommend Flutter or React Native based on your team, integrations and roadmap.
- 2Sprint-based build
Weekly builds land on your phone via TestFlight and Google Play internal testing, so you see progress every week.
- 3Hardening and store prep
Payments, push and offline flows are tested end to end, and store listings and assets are prepared for review.
- 4Launch and handover
I submit to both stores, shepherd the review, and hand over the repository, CI setup and admin credentials.
