Where this service fits
An app for both iOS and Android needs a consistent product experience and room for platform differences. We start with the main journey, the audience’s devices and the capabilities the app depends on. That might include camera access, location, media, notifications or a connection to an existing account system. These requirements inform the technical approach.
React Native or Flutter can provide a shared foundation when they fit the brief. We still consider navigation, permissions, device sizes and the behaviour of native integrations on each platform. Implementation connects the screens, application state and backend, with loading, empty and failure states planned alongside the primary experience.
What the work can include
We agree the deliverables around your product and existing setup. A focused engagement can include the following work.
- Product flows and a platform requirements review
- Cross-platform interface and application development
- Scoped backend and native-device integrations
- Device testing, production builds and release preparation
Planning your project
Share the intended users, must-have device features and any existing design or backend. The first release should have a defined device matrix and clear acceptance criteria. Store accounts, content, privacy information and ownership of signing assets are practical dependencies to address before submission.
The estimate should identify the work, assumptions and responsibilities on both sides. We can shape a first phase around the highest-priority outcome, with additional work planned separately once the relevant decisions have been made.
Share your starting pointPrepare for real devices and a real release
Testing needs to reflect how mobile products are used. We agree a device and operating-system matrix, check the important flows and consider permissions, backgrounding, poor connectivity and expired sessions. Purchase-related work also needs attention to subscription status, restored access and the difference between the development and production environments.
Release preparation can include build configuration, signing, store-listing assets and submission support. Review decisions remain with the platform, so the schedule should allow room for feedback and any required changes. We also agree who maintains the app after launch and how future operating-system updates, dependency changes and product improvements will be handled.
How delivery works
Understand the work
We start with your users, business model and current constraints. Bring an idea, a running product or a workflow that causes friction. Together we identify what needs to change and what a useful first outcome looks like.
Shape a practical scope
We connect the user journey to the design, engineering and operational work it needs. Assumptions, dependencies and responsibilities are discussed early, so you can make informed decisions about the first release and the work that follows.
Build with visible progress
Designs, prototypes and working features give us something concrete to discuss. We review progress with you, resolve questions as they arise and test the important journeys. Changes to priorities are considered against the agreed scope.
Launch and keep improving
Release preparation includes the agreed testing, deployment and handover. We make support responsibilities clear and can continue as your product team, improving the experience as you learn from real use and plan the next release.
Coach Phil brings fitness goals, meals and workouts into a subscription app, with a separate admin workspace for managing the coaching experience. See both sides of the product.

Will both platforms look exactly the same?
The brand and core journey can stay consistent while navigation, controls or permission flows follow relevant platform behaviour. We agree those differences during design and check the implementation on the devices in scope.
Can this be a focused engagement within our existing product?
Yes. We can scope this work around an existing product after reviewing the relevant design, code or operating setup. We identify the dependencies and agree what is included, who provides access and how the change will be reviewed. If another part of the product also needs work, we explain that before expanding the scope.
