Native development – with SwiftUI for iOS, for example – gives you the best performance and full access to every device feature. Cross-platform approaches share one codebase for iOS and Android, which saves time and budget.
We help you weigh both honestly against what you are building – and we plan the backend from day one, so app and server work together smoothly.
The decision depends less on the technology than on what you are building. If the app needs deep access to the camera, Bluetooth, background location or unusual gestures, native is the more honest choice. If it is essentially an interface to data from your system – jobs, stock, forms – cross-platform saves noticeable budget without users spotting a difference. We tell you upfront which category your case falls into.
Something many people underestimate: the App Store is not hosting, it is a review process. Apple rejects submissions regularly, and rarely for technical reasons – usually for missing privacy declarations, unclear account deletion, forced login without justification, or screenshots that do not match the app. We handle the submission including those formalities and know where it tends to snag. That we have our own app in the store, the WebDAV Browser, is not a marketing detail here – it is why we know the process.
An app is also never finished. iOS and Android ship a new major version every year, and anything that does not keep up eventually breaks on new devices or falls out of the store. So plan the app as a running system with an annual maintenance budget, not as a one-off project. That is the line item missing from quotes most often.
