    Mobile app development in Australia usually means one of two extremes — pay six figures for separate native iOS + Android teams, or settle for a no-code app builder that looks and performs like a 2014 hybrid. We sit in the middle with React Native + Expo: one TypeScript codebase, near-native performance, and full access to camera, GPS, push notifications, biometrics, in-app purchases and offline storage.

    Most clients come to us after their web app needs a mobile presence — bookings, field workers, two-sided marketplaces, members, on-site quoting. We share the backend with your existing site (same Supabase database, same auth) so customers move between web and app seamlessly. Pairs with our web app builds and SaaS development.

    MVP apps typically ship in 8–14 weeks and land on the App Store and Google Play together.

    Why React Native Beats Native or No-Code

    One codebase, two stores, native performance — without the platform tax.

    Single TypeScript codebase — ships to iOS and Android together

    Native performance — 60fps animations, native UI components

    Shared backend with your website — one source of truth

    Push notifications, biometrics, camera, GPS, offline storage built-in

    App Store + Google Play submission handled for you

    Yours forever — code in your GitHub, no per-user platform fees

    What a Custom Mobile App Typically Includes

    The standard modules baked into every MVP we ship.

    React Native + Expo

    Modern TypeScript codebase using Expo's managed workflow — OTA updates so we can ship bug fixes without resubmitting to the stores, plus access to every native module you'd expect.

    Supabase Backend

    Same Postgres database, auth and storage as your website. Customers log into web and app with one account; data syncs in real time across devices.

    Push & Offline

    Native push notifications (Expo Notifications), background sync, offline-first caching with optimistic updates, biometric login (Face ID / fingerprint), deep links and universal links.

    Store Submission

    We handle the App Store Connect and Google Play Console setup, screenshots, listings, privacy declarations and submission. Most apps approved on the first review.

    Why Aussie Businesses Trust Us With Their App

    Most app projects fail because the team that scoped the work isn't the team that builds it — and the team that builds it disappears the day after launch. We do the opposite: the same senior engineer who scopes your app writes the code, ships to the stores, and stays involved through the first 12 months of iteration. That's the only realistic way to build something users actually open twice.

    Behind that is 10+ years shipping production web and mobile experiences, with a stack (React Native, TypeScript, Supabase, Stripe) that's used by everyone from indie founders to publicly listed companies. No offshore handoffs, no junior devs learning on your dollar.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does mobile app development cost in Australia?

    MVP apps typically run $20k–$50k for a focused first version on both iOS and Android (auth, core flow, push, basic admin). Apps with offline-first sync, payments, complex matching or multiple user roles are quoted in phases after a 30-minute scoping call.

    Why React Native instead of native Swift / Kotlin?

    One codebase ships to both stores, you halve your build cost and ongoing maintenance, and modern React Native (with Expo) performs within ~5% of native for almost every business app. We'd only recommend pure native for graphics-heavy games, AR or very specialised hardware integrations.

    Can the app share a backend with my website?

    Yes — that's how we recommend it. Supabase (Postgres + auth + storage) powers both. A customer who signs up in your app can log into your website with the same credentials, and changes sync in real time. Saves you running two databases and two auth systems.

    How long does App Store and Google Play approval take?

    Apple typically reviews in 24–48 hours, Google in a few hours to a couple of days. We pre-empt the common rejection reasons (privacy declarations, account deletion flow, payment policy) before submission, so most of our apps are approved on the first attempt.

    Do I own the code and the developer accounts?

    Yes. Code lives in your GitHub, the app is published under your own App Store Connect and Google Play developer accounts (we'll help you set them up if needed), and the backend runs on your Supabase project. You can move to any team at any time.

    Can you update the app without resubmitting to the stores?

    For most JS/TS changes — yes. Expo's over-the-air updates push the new version straight to users' phones within seconds. Native module changes (new permissions, SDK upgrades) still need a store resubmission, but that's typically only once or twice a year.
