Contracts & IP
NDA and code ownership handed to you.
Tools we use: React, Next.js, Node.js, Laravel, Python.
Skills
What a good React Native developer brings
A useful hire understands the shared codebase and the places where each phone platform needs its own treatment. Look for practical experience with the features your app actually needs.
- Platform behaviourHandle navigation, gestures, permissions and keyboard behaviour in ways that fit iOS and Android.
- Native integrationsUse Swift or Kotlin when a device API or vendor SDK needs code beyond the JavaScript layer.
- Weak connectionsCache data, queue changes and show clear offline states, then sync when the connection returns.
- Mobile featuresSet up push notifications, deep links and sign-in, accounting for differences between platforms.
- Testing and releasesUse Jest and React Native Testing Library, run end-to-end tests, and handle signing, build profiles and store listings.
Use cases
What you can hire React Native developers for
A first version of a product can use a shared codebase to reach both phone platforms and put the idea in front of real users. If you already have a React web product, a companion app may also share business logic, types or API clients with it.
The fit is strongest when your app uses features such as lists, forms, maps, camera and payments. React Native is also an option when your team already knows JavaScript and React; Flutter is another cross-platform choice.
For heavy graphics, advanced camera or audio processing, or brand-new platform features, consider native Swift and Kotlin. An older React Native app can also need an upgrade and replacement of abandoned native libraries.
How hiring works
How hiring works with us
You direct the work, and we include a lead who reviews code and keeps it on track. Choose the capacity around the work you have ready.
- 01
Choose capacity
Hire full time, part time or for a fixed number of hours a month. A full backlog on one product suits full time; maintenance or work in bursts can suit a smaller plan.
- 02
Join your workflow
Developers work in your repository, tickets and stand-ups, with overlap hours agreed upfront.
- 03
Start with a real task
We set up the environment, walk through the product and codebase, and take on a small task that touches the main parts of the system.
- 04
Review priorities
You control a shared backlog and review it with us regularly, so the next piece of work is clear.
- 05
Adjust the plan
Scale capacity up or down, or pause it when your needs change.
Time zones
Working hours between the United Arab Emirates and India
IST is 1h30m ahead. The UAE federal government working week runs Monday to Friday, with Friday a half day; agree your own team's availability before setting a regular overlap window.
Keep that window free for stand-ups and quick questions. We communicate through Slack, WhatsApp or email, with regular calls and direct access to the developers doing the work.
Tickets with acceptance criteria, screenshots and links reduce back-and-forth. Written end-of-day updates covering progress, blockers and next steps let you catch up when your day starts.
Rules
What your United Arab Emirates app needs to handle
If your app collects personal data, the UAE Personal Data Protection Law requires consent for processing except in listed cases. We set up the relevant consent screens as part of the interface, with the collection and processing flow agreed for your app.
For an app handling data about medical services in the UAE, restrictions on storage, processing and transfer outside the country affect the build. We plan those data flows around the restrictions and set up individual accounts with only the access needed, starting in staging.
Vetting
How to judge a React Native developer before you commit
- Ask where Expo would cover your app and where custom native code would be needed. Look for specific modules and build settings in the answer.
- Set a small paid taskan API-backed list, a detail screen, offline caching and a form running on an iOS simulator and an Android emulator.
- Install published apps on an older, slower phone. Scroll, rotate and go offline, then check for freezes or crashes.
- Ask about a feature that behaves differently on iOS and Android. Look for platform-specific code where needed and testing on both.
Checklist
What to have ready before developers start
Give the developer enough context to start on useful work and know when it is ready for approval.
- Rank your backlog, or prepare a first set of well-described tasks.
- Share your working hours, the overlap you need and who will answer questions.
- Agree review rules, expected tests, deployment steps and who approves completed work.
- Measure progress through merged pull requests, demos and shipped features.
- Use individual accounts instead of a shared admin login, so access can be audited and removed.
Cost & time
What affects the cost of hiring React Native developers
The work around the code affects the plan as well as the features you want built.
Codebase condition
Legacy systems, niche frameworks and missing documentation can narrow the available skills and slow onboarding.
Skills needed
Front-end, back-end, mobile or legacy-system experience changes the kind of developer you need.
Management
A lead planning work and reviewing code changes the work included in the engagement.
Onboarding detail
Architecture notes, coding standards and release instructions help identify gaps that need attention before development proceeds.
Review
Early code reviews take effort, but establish standards and catch misunderstandings while they are cheaper to fix.

Questions
Asked by businesses in United Arab Emirates
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to hire a dedicated React Native developer?
There is no fixed price. Seniority and the level of commitment are major drivers: an experienced developer generally needs less supervision, while a junior developer suits well-defined tasks with close review. The choice between full-time, part-time and set-hour work also affects the plan, including the notice needed to change it.
How do I hire a dedicated remote developer to work with my existing team?
Start by agreeing how the developer will fit into your existing workflow. We work with your repositories, tools and review process, so your team can keep using its established way of checking changes. Give the developer a clear route to the people who make technical decisions and approve work.
Should I start a new React Native app with Expo?
Expo is a framework worth considering for a new app. The React Native documentation recommends starting with a framework such as Expo, which handles routing, native builds and many device APIs. For the rest of the app, libraries such as React Navigation, TanStack Query and SQLite address distinct needs.
What is included when I hire developers through you?
You get regular progress updates and demos, plus direct access to the people doing the work. We also include code reviews, tests and documentation. Use the demos to inspect the work as it develops, and use the documentation to help your team understand and maintain the code.
Who owns the code and project accounts?
You own the code, domain and content, with no lock-in. We provide an NDA and hand code ownership to you. Keep repositories, cloud accounts and third-party services under your organisation, and confirm the assignment of intellectual property in the contract before work begins.
Can you support the app after launch?
Yes. We provide ongoing development for features, fixes and improvements across your website and apps. React Native and its native libraries change regularly, so plan for upgrades that keep the app building and accepted by the stores. You can also scale the plan or pause it as your needs change.
