FAQ

Answers to common questions about mobile development, publishing, and maintenance.

Do you build native or cross-platform apps? +

We choose what fits your goals: native (Swift/Kotlin) for max performance, or cross-platform (Flutter/React Native) for faster delivery and shared code. We can also mix approaches per module.

How do releases to Google Play work? +

We prepare Android App Bundles (AAB), sign them securely, set up Play Console tracks (internal, closed, production), handle content rating and policy checks, and roll out with staged percentages to reduce risk.

What about App Store guidelines and review times? +

We follow Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines and App Review policies, use TestFlight for beta testing, and plan review windows (typically 1–3 days, can vary). We design features to be compliant from day one.

How do you measure success after launch? +

With privacy-friendly analytics (events, funnels, retention), crash reporting, performance metrics, store listing experiments (A/B), and feedback loops. We iterate on a monthly/quarterly roadmap.

How do you keep apps fast and small? +

We optimize startup, use lazy loading, minimize network calls, adopt Android App Bundles & dynamic features, enable R8/ProGuard, and audit images/assets. On iOS we leverage SwiftUI where apt and careful dependency management.
