Mobile apps that survive a bad network and a store review.
The interesting problems in enterprise mobile are rarely the screens. They are offline state, background sync, device management, and the review process that can hold a release for a week if the app was not built with it in mind.
- First question
- What can your team operate?
- Second
- What can you hire for locally?
- Third
- What does the existing estate already run?
- Rarely decisive
- Benchmarks and framework fashion
The right technology is the one you can still run in five years.
Native or cross-platform is the first question, and the answer depends on how much of your app touches device capability. Heavy camera, sensor, background or performance work argues for native; conventional forms, lists and data over an API rarely do.
We build both, and the honest position is that cross-platform will serve the majority of enterprise applications at roughly half the ongoing maintenance cost.
Every engagement is delivered with your engineers in the repository from the first week, so the knowledge accrues internally, not leaving when we do. You own the code, the pipelines and the documentation regardless of how the engagement ends.
If you are weighing a decision and want a second opinion instead of a proposal, we are happy to give one.
iOS — Swift & Objective-C
Native iOS where performance, device integration or platform-specific interface conventions matter. SwiftUI for new work, UIKit where an existing codebase requires it.
- SwiftUI and UIKit applications
- Background processing, notifications and widgets
- MDM distribution and enterprise provisioning
- Objective-C maintenance and incremental Swift migration
Android — Kotlin & Java
Native Android with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, including the device-fleet realities of rugged hardware, kiosk mode and long OS support tails.
- Kotlin and Jetpack Compose applications
- Rugged device, scanner and kiosk deployments
- Play Store and managed enterprise distribution
- Legacy Java Android maintenance and migration
React Native
The strongest cross-platform choice when you already have React skills in house — one team, one language, and native modules available when you need to drop down.
- Shared codebase across iOS and Android
- Native modules where platform access is required
- Over-the-air updates for non-binary changes
- Migration from ageing hybrid frameworks
Flutter
Excellent rendering consistency across platforms and strong performance, particularly where a custom design language matters more than platform-native conventions.
- Single codebase for iOS, Android and web
- Custom design systems rendered identically across devices
- Offline-first applications with local persistence
- Animation-heavy and highly branded interfaces
Ionic
Pragmatic where an existing web application needs a store presence and device access without a separate mobile team.
- Web application wrapped for store distribution
- Capacitor plugins for device capability
- Progressive web app plus store build from one codebase
- Maintenance of existing Cordova and Ionic applications
