// The role
What our mobile app developers build.
Our mobile developers build iOS and Android apps that people keep installed: cross-platform with Flutter, React Native or .NET MAUI when one codebase makes sense, and native Swift or Kotlin when the app needs it.
They handle the parts that make mobile hard: offline sync, push notifications, device permissions, app-store review and keeping old app versions working against a changing API.
Our Mobile App Development servicesConsumer apps
Onboarding, subscriptions, push and in-app purchases.
Field and workforce apps
Offline forms, photos, GPS and background sync.
Companion apps
Mobile front ends for an existing web platform or API.
App rescues
Upgrading old React Native or Xamarin apps and fixing crash rates.
// How we vet
How we test mobile app developers before you meet them
Build a two-screen app against a mock API with offline caching and a list that stays smooth with 1,000 items, then discuss release and testing.
Platform knowledge
Lifecycle, permissions and background limits on iOS and Android.
Architecture
State management and a clear split between UI, domain and data.
Release discipline
Versioning, build flavours and crash-free sessions.

// The stack
The Mobile stack our mobile app developers work in
Cross-platform
Flutter with Riverpod or Bloc, React Native with TypeScript and Expo, and .NET MAUI for C# teams.
Native
Swift and SwiftUI for iOS, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for Android, when performance or platform features demand it.
Backend services
Firebase, Supabase or your own ASP.NET Core or Node.js API, with push notifications and in-app purchases.
Release and quality
Fastlane or Codemagic pipelines, TestFlight and Play tracks, Crashlytics or Sentry, and device-farm testing.
// Right hire?
When to hire mobile app developers, and when not to
Mobile developer vs. web developer
If users need the app offline, in their pocket or with device features like camera, GPS and push, hire a mobile developer. Otherwise a responsive web app may be enough.
Flutter or React Native vs. native
Cross-platform suits most business apps on one budget. Native suits apps that depend on the newest platform features or heavy graphics.
Mobile developer vs. full app team
For a new product with design, backend and both stores, use our mobile app development service instead of a single developer.
// Cost
What affects the cost of hiring mobile app developers
Platforms
One cross-platform codebase costs less than two native apps.
Backend needs
An app on an existing API is simpler than one that also needs a new backend.
Device features
Offline sync, Bluetooth, payments and background location add effort and testing.
Store work
Submissions, review responses and release management are part of the estimate.

// Why HatchDesk
Why hire Mobile developers from HatchDesk?
From brief to a developer in your Slack. Shortlist of 3 profiles within 24 hours.
Cross-platform or native
We recommend Flutter, React Native, MAUI or native based on your team and features, not habit.
Offline-first
Local storage and sync that cope with bad networks.
Store releases handled
Signing, TestFlight, Play Console tracks and review responses.
Crash and usage tracking
Crashlytics or Sentry plus analytics from the first build.
Why HatchDesk beats the alternatives.

// FAQ
Questions?
Flutter, React Native or native: which do you recommend?
Flutter or React Native for most business apps that need both platforms on one budget; .NET MAUI if your team is C#; native Swift and Kotlin for heavy device, AR or performance work.
Can you migrate our Xamarin app?
Yes. Xamarin support has ended, so we move Xamarin apps to .NET MAUI, or to Flutter when a rewrite is cheaper.
Do you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes, under your developer accounts, so you own the listings, keys and reviews.
Can the mobile developer also build the backend API?
For simple backends, yes (Firebase or a small API). For larger systems we pair them with a .NET or Node.js developer.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
A focused MVP on one cross-platform codebase usually takes a few months; apps with complex backends, offline sync or payments take longer. A short discovery gives you a firm plan.
Can you take over an app another team built?
Yes. We start with a code and crash-report audit, fix the release pipeline, then continue feature work.
Do you build apps for tablets and wearables?
Tablets, yes, as part of the same app. Wearables and TV apps are scoped case by case.
How fast can a Mobile developer start?
Usually within 48 hours of you approving a profile. You get a shortlist of 3 within 24 hours, and you interview and test every candidate before anyone starts.
What if it's not a fit, and who owns the code?
We replace the developer free of charge. You own all code and designs, with an NDA and IP transfer from day one.
