What we use to deliver iOS and Android App Development
The tools we typically use. The final choice is made against your systems, budget and team.
iOS and Android App Development: what is included
Shyphan is a mobile app development company that designs, builds and maintains iOS and Android apps for startups and established businesses.
Flutter, React Native or native
Flutter and React Native share one codebase across iOS and Android and suit most business apps. Native Swift and Kotlin suit apps needing heavy device features, complex animations or the newest platform APIs. We recommend based on features, team skills and long-term maintenance, not habit.
UX/UI design and prototypes
We map user journeys, design wireframes and a clickable prototype in Figma, and test it with real users before code is written. Designs follow Apple Human Interface Guidelines and Material Design, with accessibility, dark mode and right-to-left layouts planned from the start.
Backend and API development
Most apps need accounts, data storage, notifications and admin tools. We build backends in Node.js, .NET or Python/Django with PostgreSQL or Firebase, on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, and connect to your CRM or ERP, including Zoho, Odoo and Dynamics 365.
Payments and subscriptions
We integrate Stripe and regional payment gateways, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and in-app purchases where the stores require them for digital goods. Payment flows are tested for failures, refunds and receipts, and card data is handled by the gateway rather than your servers.
App Store and Google Play release
We prepare store listings, screenshots, privacy labels and review notes, manage TestFlight and Play testing tracks, and handle review feedback. Knowing the common rejection reasons, such as login requirements or unclear data use, avoids delays at launch.
Maintenance and updates
After launch we monitor crashes and performance, update for new iOS and Android versions, patch dependencies and ship improvements in planned releases. Maintenance is agreed as a monthly scope, and you own the source code, accounts and documentation throughout.
The systems it plugs into
Real screens from the platforms we work with. Yours are configured to your entities, processes and KPIs.
Executive KPI dashboard in Zoho Analytics
Leads, conversions, revenue, expenses, profit, tickets and satisfaction on one board, drawn from Zoho CRM, Expense and Desk. Your software reads from and writes back to screens like this one, so nothing is re-keyed.
- Flutter, React Native or native
- UX/UI design and prototypes
- Backend and API development
Sales dashboard in Odoo
Quotations, orders, revenue and average order value with the monthly trend, built from live Odoo data. The same software connects to Odoo in exactly the same way.
- Payments and subscriptions
- Payment gateways by market
- Data protection by market
How iOS and Android App Development changes by market
Tax, e-invoicing, data protection and language rules differ by country. We confirm the current position for each market at scoping.
Payment gateways by market
Stripe covers many markets, but Gulf, Indian and Turkish users often expect local gateways, cards and wallets. Invoices must also reflect local tax, such as 15% VAT in Saudi Arabia or GST in India. We confirm current rules at scoping.
Data protection by market
Apps collecting personal data must meet GDPR and UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA in California, UAE PDPL or India's DPDP Act 2023. We design consent screens, data deletion and in-region hosting on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
Arabic RTL and store listings
Arabic apps need full right-to-left layouts, mirrored icons and Arabic fonts, not just translated text. Store listings, screenshots and availability are set per country, and some app categories face extra review in certain markets.
How we deliver iOS and Android App Development
Phases, indicative timing and what is delivered in each. Scope is fixed and quoted before we start.
Discovery and scope
Workshops on users, features and integrations; we recommend the framework, define an MVP and give a fixed quote.
UX/UI design
User journeys, wireframes, visual design and a clickable prototype tested with target users before development begins.
Development sprints
Two-week sprints for app and backend, with a test build to your phone at the end of each sprint.
Testing and release
Device testing, security checks, performance tuning, store listings and submission to the App Store and Google Play.
Support and growth
Crash monitoring, OS updates, analytics review and a roadmap of improvements based on how people use the app.
When iOS and Android App Development is the wrong answer
If your users mainly work on desktops, or the app would only show information already on your website, a responsive web app or progressive web app is cheaper to build and maintain. We will say so at discovery and point you to our web app development service instead. Very tight budgets are better spent on a focused MVP than a full feature list.
How we handle it: We implement Zoho, Odoo and Dynamics 365 and build AI and custom software, so our written recommendation can point you to a simpler option, or to doing nothing yet.
One team, seven offices, delivery worldwide
We deliver Zoho, Odoo, Dynamics 365 and custom projects from our headquarters in Noida, India, and offices in Ras Al Khaimah, Riyadh, Beirut, Istanbul, Lagos and London, with remote delivery worldwide and on-site workshops when a project needs them. Pictured: our team at Zoholics Dubai 2026.
