Engagement

How we build React Native App Development

A repeatable four-phase engagement. Same rigor every time, scoped to the work in front of us.

Phase01
Week 1-2

Discover

We map the current state, surface constraints, and lock the scope before any code is written. You leave the phase with a written success definition.

  • Audit document
  • Success criteria
  • Risk register
Phase02
Week 2-3

Architect

We pick the stack, design the data model, and prove the riskiest path first. Architecture decisions are reviewed with your team before build starts.

  • Architecture doc
  • Stack decision record
  • Spike on riskiest path
Phase03
Week 3-10

Build

Iterative delivery in weekly increments. You see working software every Friday, can redirect priorities each Monday, and never wait six weeks for a demo.

  • Weekly demo cadence
  • Production-ready code
  • CI/CD + tests
Phase04
Week 10+

Operate

We ship with observability, hand off runbooks, and stay accountable post-launch. 30-day hypercare is included on every engagement.

  • Monitoring dashboards
  • Operational runbooks
  • 30-day hypercare

React Native Development

React Native lets you build truly native mobile apps for iOS and Android from a single JavaScript/TypeScript codebase. It's backed by Meta, powers apps like Instagram, Facebook, and Shopify, and has the largest mobile development community after native iOS/Android.

We build React Native apps that feel native because they are native. The JavaScript runs the logic; the UI renders with actual platform components.

Why React Native

Shared Codebase, Native Performance

React Native compiles to native iOS and Android components. Your app uses the same building blocks as apps built with Swift or Kotlin. Users can't tell the difference, and you maintain one codebase instead of two.

JavaScript/TypeScript Ecosystem

If your team knows React, they can contribute to React Native. Shared tooling, shared patterns, shared types. This is the biggest practical advantage over Flutter for teams with existing web investments.

Code Sharing with Web

While you can't directly reuse React DOM components, you can share:

  • API clients and data fetching logic
  • State management (Redux, Zustand, React Query)
  • TypeScript types and interfaces
  • Business logic and validation
  • Authentication flows

Expo Platform

Expo has transformed React Native development. It provides:

  • Managed build infrastructure (no Xcode or Android Studio required for most work)
  • Over-the-air updates for instant bug fixes without App Store review
  • Pre-built native modules for camera, location, notifications, and more
  • EAS Build and Submit for streamlined App Store deployment

What We Build

Commerce Apps

Mobile shopping experiences connected to Shopify, BigCommerce, or any commerce API. Product browsing, cart, checkout, account management, and order tracking.

Internal Tools

Employee-facing apps for warehouse management, field service, inventory counting, and CRM access. Offline-capable with sync when connectivity returns.

Consumer Apps

User-facing apps with authentication, real-time data, push notifications, in-app purchases, and social features.

API-Connected Apps

Apps that surface data from your existing APIs, dashboards, and services. We build the mobile layer; your backend stays unchanged.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before starting a project with us.

Choose React Native when your team already has JavaScript/TypeScript expertise, when you want to share code with an existing React web app, or when you need deep integration with the React ecosystem. Flutter is better for maximum UI consistency across platforms and when starting from scratch without a web codebase to leverage.

Not directly (React Native uses native components, not DOM elements), but we can share business logic, API clients, state management, and TypeScript types between your React web app and React Native mobile app. This significantly reduces duplication.

We default to Expo for most projects because it dramatically speeds development and simplifies build/deploy workflows. For apps that need custom native modules not supported by Expo, we use the bare workflow or Expo's development builds with custom native code.

A typical React Native app takes 8 to 16 weeks from design through App Store submission. Simple apps with standard features are on the shorter end. Apps with complex native integrations, offline sync, or custom animations take longer.
