Mobile app development company in Wyoming

We usually build with React Native, sharing a codebase across iOS and Android and adding native modules where a feature needs them. It suits apps built around accounts, forms, bookings, maps, payments and content. Sharing code reduces the amount you have to maintain across the platforms, while screens can follow each platform’s conventions.

A native build fits an app centred on deep device features, heavy graphics or complex background work. The trade-off is a separate codebase for each platform. Flutter is another cross-platform option: it draws its own interface, which suits a heavily branded design, provided the team is willing to work in Dart.

A progressive web app is worth considering for a staff tool. It skips store review, though it won’t appear in the app stores unless packaged for them. On an iPhone, it can ask to send notifications only after the user adds it to the Home Screen. That constraint belongs in the decision if reminders are central to the task.

If you are building for a state or local government, the app needs to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA under the ADA Title II rule. We design and test the app against that accessibility requirement as part of the build.

The payment flow needs to match what you sell. We set up in-app purchases for digital content, features and subscriptions used in the app, and a card checkout for physical goods or services used outside it. Stripe is available to US businesses that want to accept payments.

We submit the app under your own developer accounts. These items help you prepare for that work.

• List the tasks users must complete in the first release, in the order they would do them.
• Register Apple and Google developer accounts in your company’s name. Organisation verification needs a D-U-N-S number, so start that process early.
• Prepare a privacy policy matching the data the app collects; it needs links in the Apple listing and inside the app.
• If you use a new personal Google Play account, plan for its required closed test before production release.
• If users can create accounts, plan an in-app deletion path. Google Play also requires a web link for deletion requests.

  Putting sign-up before any useful content

  Let people explore without logging in when the app has no significant account-based features.

  Asking for notification permission immediately

  Ask when the benefit is clear, such as after an order. Android keeps notifications off until the user allows them.

• !

  Adding an analytics or advertising SDK without updating privacy answers: Include the data collected by third-party SDKs in Google Play’s Data safety form.

  Leaving access in an agency’s name

  Keep developer accounts, signing access and code repositories in your business’s name so the app is easier to move.
