An honest read on whether React Native fits before anyone writes code — including the cases where it does not, which is roughly one engagement in five. We look at your integrations, your device mix, your compliance surface and the team who will own this after launch. You leave with a scoped plan, a number you can hold us to, and a written argument for the decision that you can take to whoever signs it off.

Clickable flows before any code, tested against people who resemble your users rather than against the team that drew them. The design system we agree is the one that ships: components, states, empty and error screens and the type scale all land in the repository as code. Each platform keeps its own conventions where a user would notice — navigation, gestures, the share sheet — and shares everything where nobody would.

Swift modules written wherever the bridge would cost you, and the iOS half of the product behaving the way an iPhone owner expects rather than the way an Android port does. App Store review is handled here, including the rejection letters: we answer them, revise and resubmit as part of the work. Sign-in with Apple, push entitlements, privacy manifests and the App Privacy answers are prepared before the first submission, not after the first refusal.

Tested across the mid-range devices your users actually carry, not only the flagship in the office drawer. Play Store internal, closed and open tracks are set up properly so a release can be staged, halted and rolled back without a support incident. Background work, notification channels, deep links and the permission prompts Android keeps changing are handled explicitly, and crash triage runs from the first beta rather than from the first review.

SDK and framework upgrades taken on a schedule instead of in a panic the week a store deadline lands. Crash triage with named response times, a monitored error budget and a monthly note that says what moved and what we recommend next — written for the person who has to repeat it, not for another engineer. The agreement is month to month, and the repository, pipelines and signing keys are yours throughout, so leaving costs you notice and nothing else.

Moving an existing iOS and Android pair onto one codebase without a big-bang rewrite. Screens migrate a flow at a time, and the old app keeps shipping until the new one is better.

One codebase reviewed once and released together, with platform code written only where iOS and Android genuinely diverge. We have shipped this stack to both stores enough times to know which of those divergences are real and which are habit. The shared layer carries the product logic; the native layer carries the phone's conventions. Keeping that boundary clean is what makes the second year cheap instead of expensive.

A single team shipping both stores in the same release, so the second platform costs weeks rather than another project with its own budget, backlog and QA cycle. First usable build inside a fortnight, something installable at the end of every iteration after that, and a date we revise out loud the week reality changes it — not in the retrospective once it is too late for you to act on it.

CI that builds, tests, signs and submits on every commit, so a release is a button rather than an afternoon and a checklist somebody half-remembers. Screenshots, store metadata and staged rollouts run from the same pipeline. The automation is yours, documented and running in your account — which matters most on the day you want to ship without us, and is the cheapest insurance in the engagement.

Hermes, the New Architecture and native modules written wherever the bridge would cost you. Startup time, frame rate, memory and bundle size are measured every iteration and treated as merge gates rather than as a report nobody reads. All of it on the mid-range Android your users actually carry — which is where almost every cross-platform app that feels slow was signed off as fine.

React Native moves fast, and the cost of ignoring that is not linear. We keep you on a supported version deliberately, on a schedule you can see, instead of discovering three years of drift the week a store deadline lands. Upgrades are planned, estimated and done in daylight, with the breaking changes read before they are hit — so the framework is something you ride rather than something that happens to you.

Store releases, staged rollouts and crash triage with named response times, plus a monthly note on what moved and what we would do next. Support is month to month rather than an annual lock-in, and the repository, the pipelines, the signing keys and the documentation are yours from the first commit. Handing the work to your own team, or to anyone else, costs you notice and nothing more than that.
