Mobile App Development

Mobile apps that make it into the store — and stay there.

We build iOS and Android apps with React Native or native toolchains, and we handle the parts most teams underestimate: store review, push notifications, offline behavior, and crash-free releases.

What's included

What you actually get

React Native or native builds

One codebase with React Native when it fits, Swift/Kotlin when the platform demands it. We recommend based on your product, not our preference.

App Store & Play Store submission

Listings, screenshots, review guidelines, and the back-and-forth with Apple and Google — handled. We have multiple apps live in both stores today.

Push notifications & deep links

Firebase or APNs-native push, notification routing, and deep links that land users on the right screen — not just the home page.

Offline-first behavior

Local caching, sync queues, and conflict handling so the app works in a basement, on a plane, or on a flaky connection.

Back-end & sync API

The server side your app talks to — auth, sync endpoints, and an admin panel to manage content and users.

Crash reporting & analytics

Crashlytics/Sentry and product analytics wired in before launch, so the first bug report comes from a dashboard, not an angry review.

How we work

Scope, build, ship, run.

The same four phases every MCQuare engagement follows. You always know which one you're in.

01

Scope

A real conversation about what you are building and what is actually hard. You leave with a written scope — what we will build, what we will not, and why.

02

Build

Weekly deploys from week one. You see the thing taking shape, not a project board.

03

Ship

Deployed to your infrastructure or ours, with monitoring, alerts, and a runbook included in the deliverable.

04

Run

We keep the lights on for as long as you want us to — or hand over cleanly and get out of the way.

FAQ

Common questions

React Native or fully native — which should we pick?

For most products, React Native ships faster and cheaper with no visible compromise. We go native when you need heavy platform integration — Bluetooth peripherals, background processing, intense graphics. We will tell you honestly which side your product falls on before you commit.

How long does App Store approval take?

Apple review typically takes 24–48 hours, Google a few hours to a few days. We build the submission checklist into the timeline from the start, including the metadata, privacy disclosures, and age ratings that usually delay first-time submissions.

Do you maintain apps after launch?

Yes — OS updates break apps every year whether you touch them or not. We offer ongoing maintenance covering dependency updates, store policy changes, and crash fixes, or we hand over with documentation if you have an in-house team.

Can you build the back end too?

That is the normal arrangement. An app without a well-built API behind it is a demo. We build the sync API, auth, and admin tooling as part of the same engagement, so one team owns the whole system.
