Startup Mobile App Development for Android and iOS
An MVP mobile app on one codebase, tested on the low-end Android phones your users actually carry.
This page covers startup mobile app development: a first release for Android, and iOS when you need it, built from one Flutter or React Native codebase. It suits founders whose product genuinely needs a phone, such as push alerts, camera, location or daily habit use.
An MVP usually takes ten to twelve weeks with us. The aim is a version you can put in a few hundred real hands, learn from, and then improve without throwing the code away.
What startups need from a mobile app
Android first, for Indian reality
Most of your early users will be on Android, often on phones with limited memory and patchy data. Performance on a budget device matters more than animations.
A reason to be an app at all
Installing an app is a big ask. If the same value works in a mobile web page, you can reach people faster and cheaper.
Play Store readiness
Developer account, listing, privacy policy, data safety form and review timing all need planning. A rejection in launch week costs momentum.
Updates without starting over
You will ship fixes weekly in the first months. The release process, crash reporting and versioning should make that routine.
What we build in a startup mobile app
One-codebase app
Flutter or React Native, chosen after we look at your features and your team. Both give you Android and iOS from a single source.
Onboarding that gets to value quickly
Phone-number or email sign-in, minimal permissions and a first screen that shows something useful before asking for anything.
Push notifications and in-app events
Reminders and transactional messages with sensible opt-in, plus event tracking so you can see which screens people reach.
Backend, admin and store release
The API, a small admin dashboard and the full Play Store submission, with iOS added when your first iPhone users justify it.
What it costs
This is the mobile app anchor with the 50% launch discount applied, for an MVP in about ten to twelve weeks. Backend complexity, number of platforms and integrations decide the final fixed quote.
Questions we get asked
Should a startup build Android first or both platforms?
Android first is usually right for an India-focused consumer product, since most users are on Android. With one Flutter or React Native codebase, adding iOS later is far smaller than a second build. If your buyers are urban professionals, test iOS earlier.
How long does the Google Play review take?
Review times vary and can range from a few hours to several days, so plan for slack. New developer accounts sometimes face extra checks. We prepare the listing, privacy policy and data safety answers early to avoid avoidable rejections.
Flutter or React Native for a startup?
Both work well. We pick based on your feature list, whether you already have React web code, and who will maintain it later. We explain the trade-off in the discovery call and put the reasoning in the written quote.
What happens after the MVP launches?
You get one month of post-launch support for fixes. After that we can continue on a monthly plan or hand over to your own developers. The code and store accounts are yours either way.
