Overview
We design and build mobile applications for iOS and Android using Swift, Kotlin, Flutter or React Native depending on the product's needs. Beyond screens, we handle the parts that make mobile hard: offline behaviour, background sync, push notifications, secure storage, biometric authentication, deep links, analytics, crash reporting and store release automation. Apps are backed by APIs we design for mobile's constraints.
Common use cases
- Consumer appsPolished experiences for retail, media, travel and lifestyle brands.
- Fintech and banking appsSecure apps with biometrics, device binding and strong authentication.
- Field service appsOffline-first apps for workers in low-connectivity environments.
- Companion appsMobile access to SaaS platforms and connected devices.
Quick answers
Mobile App Development at a glance
The essentials in brief. Every project is scoped individually — ask us for specifics.
- What is mobile app development?
- Native and cross-platform iOS and Android apps — designed for real users, engineered for performance and shipped to the stores.
- Who is it for?
- Typically startups building a first product, scale-ups extending a platform, and enterprises replacing or modernising internal software.
- What does Shivacha provide?
- Platform strategy
- Mobile UX design
- Offline & sync
- Security
- Release automation
- Monitoring
- Which technologies are used?
- Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, iOS, Android — chosen to fit your stack and constraints.
- How does the process work?
- Technical discovery → Architecture & design system → Parallel frontend and backend → Quality gates → Release and monitor.
- What affects the cost?
- Number of user roles and core workflows
- Platforms (web, iOS, Android)
- Third-party integrations
- Design depth and accessibility targets
- Data migration from existing systems
- Performance, scale and uptime requirements
- How long does it take?
- An MVP typically takes 8–14 weeks; larger platforms are delivered in phases with a usable release every few weeks.

Architecture
Engineered right from day one
The layers we typically design for web, mobile & full-stack engineering, adapted to your stack and partners.
- Performance budgetsCore Web Vitals and app start-time targets enforced in CI.
- AccessibilityWCAG-aligned components, keyboard navigation and screen-reader testing.
- Native vs cross-platformChosen per product based on performance, device features and team.
- API designConsistent, versioned, documented APIs that other teams can build on.
Delivery
How an engagement runs
- 1
Technical discovery
Requirements, platforms, integrations and non-functional targets.
- 2
Architecture & design system
Component library, API contracts and data model.
- 3
Parallel frontend and backend
Contract-first development so teams move independently.
- 4
Quality gates
Automated tests, Lighthouse and accessibility checks in CI.
- 5
Release and monitor
Staged releases, crash reporting and real-user monitoring.
Security
Security built into delivery
Controls we apply by default on this kind of work — not a separate phase at the end.
Secure SDLC
Code review, dependency scanning and secrets kept out of source control.
Authentication
Proven identity providers, MFA and least-privilege roles.
OWASP coverage
Protection against common web and API vulnerabilities, verified in testing.
Backups & recovery
Automated backups with tested restore procedures.

Learn moreReact vs Next.js: what's the difference and which should you build on?
React is a UI library; Next.js is a framework built on it. When a plain React single-page app is enough, and when server rendering, routing and SEO make Next.js the better choice.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
A focused first version typically takes three to five months including design, backend and store release; simpler apps can be faster.
Can one codebase serve iOS and Android?
Yes, with Flutter or React Native. For apps needing deep platform integration or peak performance, native codebases may be better.
Native or cross-platform mobile?
Cross-platform frameworks such as Flutter and React Native suit most business apps and reduce cost. Native Swift and Kotlin are better for heavy device integration, advanced graphics or platform-specific experiences. We recommend per project.
Do you handle app store submission?
Yes — builds, signing, store listings, review guidance and release automation for both Apple App Store and Google Play.
