REACT NATIVE DEVELOPMENT
One codebase, both platforms. The default choice for most mobile projects, and I will tell you when yours is one of the exceptions.
WHY REACT NATIVE
Two native codebases mean writing every feature twice, fixing every bug twice, and shipping to one platform before the other. For most applications, that cost buys nothing users notice.
React Native gives you both platforms from one codebase, roughly half the build time, one place to fix things, and simultaneous releases. Where genuine native capability is needed, native modules bridge the gap without abandoning the approach.
The exceptions are real: heavy 3D, intensive real-time media processing, and deep platform-specific hardware work. If your app is one of those, I will say so during scoping rather than after you have committed.
THE PRACTICAL CHOICE
Build once where it makes sense. Use native code only where it earns its complexity.
WHAT I BUILD
From a defined first version through to existing-app work, every build starts with the problem the application needs to solve.
Accounts, content, payments, notifications, and the full set of states a customer-facing app needs.
Offline-capable workflows that sync cleanly when a connection returns.
Multiple user types, messaging, payments, and the operational flows around a two-sided product.
A mobile product connected to an existing web platform and its backend.
Feature delivery, performance fixes, upgrades, and a realistic assessment of older React Native code.
A clean route forward when a native build has stopped making progress.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
The work covers the technical decisions that let an app be tested, submitted, and handed to the team that owns it next.
A practical plan for the app, its data, and the integrations it depends on.
UI/UX design where needed, or faithful implementation of designs your team already owns.
One React Native codebase for iOS and Android, tested across the devices that matter.
APIs, payments, authentication, maps, analytics, and push notifications where required.
App Store and Play Store release support, source code, documentation, and credential handover.
THE STACK
Production tools chosen for a maintainable React Native app, not a long list of technologies used once.
Backend work is handled with Node.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL when the product needs it.
COMMON QUESTIONS
The decisions that tend to come up before a mobile product starts.
For the overwhelming majority of applications, indistinguishably. The gap appears in heavy graphics and intensive real-time processing, not typical business or consumer apps.
Expo unless the project needs native modules it does not support. It removes real complexity from builds and releases.
Yes, after reviewing it. Version upgrades on older React Native apps can be substantial work, so that is assessed before quoting.
A focused first version typically takes eight to fourteen weeks.
Yes, including review rejections, which are common on first submissions and rarely about code quality.
Yes, through native modules when the JavaScript layer cannot reach what the app needs.
