Mobile App Development
iOS and Android apps people keep on their home screen.
Cross-platform by default with React Native or Flutter, native Swift or Kotlin when the product needs it. We handle design, build, store listings and the updates after.
A mobile app has to earn a place on someone's phone. We design for the first 30 seconds after install, build one codebase for both platforms where it saves you money, and go native only where performance or device features demand it. Offline mode, push notifications and crash reporting come as standard.
Why teams choose Sora for Mobile App Development
One codebase, two stores
React Native or Flutter cuts build cost by roughly a third compared with two native apps, without users noticing.
Approved the first time
We know the review guidelines that reject apps, from payment rules to privacy labels, and design around them.
Works on a slow network
We test on mid-range Android phones and patchy 4G, because that's what many of your users have.
Ship fixes in hours
Over-the-air updates let us fix most bugs without waiting for store review.

Questions
React Native or Flutter?
If your team knows JavaScript or you have a React web app, React Native. If you want pixel-identical custom UI across platforms, Flutter. We'll recommend one in discovery with reasons.
How long does app store approval take?
Usually one to three days for Apple and a few hours to two days for Google. We budget a week in case of a rejection.
Can you take over an app someone else built?
Yes. We start with a paid two-week code audit so you know what you're inheriting before committing.
Who owns the developer accounts?
You do. We set up the Apple and Google accounts in your company's name and work as members.
Do you maintain the app after launch?
Yes, through a monthly plan covering OS updates, dependency upgrades, crash fixes and small features.
