What We Build For Mobile

Native iOS development

Swift and SwiftUI. iOS deep platform integration when the app needs advanced camera work, background processing, ARKit, WidgetKit, or deep App Store entitlements. We build for current iOS plus one version back at minimum, and we hold the App Store review line at first submission ninety percent of the time.

Native Android development

Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Android with the breadth of OEM and form-factor coverage that mainstream apps now require. Material You design, Android Auto, Wear OS, foldables. We test on the real device matrix that your user base uses, not just the simulator.

Cross-platform with React Native and Flutter

React Native for apps where the team is React-fluent or business logic is shared with a web app. Flutter for brand-first apps that need a custom rendered UI and consistent visuals across platforms. We pick the right one for your scope rather than defaulting to the framework we know best.

Mobile backend and APIs

REST and GraphQL backends sized for mobile traffic patterns. Pagination shapes that respect mobile data plans. Offline-cacheable response shapes. Real-time channels for chat and live updates via WebSockets or push. Authentication that survives bad networks.

Enterprise mobile and field-service apps

Offline-first apps for field service, retail floor, warehouse, healthcare workers. Integrations with handheld scanners, BLE devices, vehicle telematics, and existing enterprise systems. Multi-tenant security, role-based access, audit trails.

How We Work With You

πŸ‘ Problem discovery

Discovery ( Week 1)

Sixty-minute call. We learn your product, users, target devices, and constraints. We agree on the scope envelope and engagement model.

πŸ‘ Image

Team formation (Week 1 to 2)

We propose engineers from our vetted bench. You interview and approve each one. The team plugs into your tools (GitHub, Linear, Slack, your QA stack).

πŸ‘ Image

Sprint delivery (Ongoing)

Two-week sprints with TestFlight or internal-test track builds, written status, and code reviews you can audit.

πŸ‘ Image

Launch and steady-state (Per release)

App Store and Google Play submission, observability wiring, crash reporting, runbook handover. Post-launch the same team rolls into maintenance.

Why Product Teams Pick ScalaCode For Mobile

πŸ‘ Image
  • We hold the App Store and Google Play line

    First-submission acceptance ninety percent of the time. We read the App Store Review Guidelines before the final build review, not after a rejection. Most rejections are procedural; we treat the guidelines as part of the build spec.

  • Honest about native vs cross-platform

    We pick native when the use case needs platform depth and cross-platform when it does not. Cross-platform is great for content and form-heavy apps and a poor fit for graphics-heavy or deep-platform-integration use cases. We will tell you which one fits your scope.

  • Observability and crash reporting from day one

    Crash reporting, analytics, and error tracking wired in before launch. Bolting them on after a production crash costs twice as much. Sentry, Firebase Crashlytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude are part of every project setup.

  • ISO 9001 certified delivery, India rates

    Documented engineering process. Clutch and GoodFirms verified reviews. India-rate billing with Western-grade engineering discipline. You get the cost arbitrage without the quality compromise.

  • Verified portfolio across categories

    Retail, fintech, healthcare, automotive, eLearning, marketplace, and creator economy. Real shipped apps with real downloads. Ask any vendor to show you the same.

Common Mobile App Pitfalls And How We Avoid Them

Most mobile app projects fail in predictable ways. These are the five we see most often and how we design around them.

πŸ‘ Backend

Pitfall 1: backend that is not mobile-ready

Most web APIs are not built for mobile traffic patterns. Page sizes assume desktop bandwidth. Response shapes assume always-on connectivity. Auth refresh assumes a stable session. We audit the backend during discovery and either rebuild the affected endpoints or add a mobile-optimised API layer.

πŸ‘ Image

Pitfall 2: scope creep during the build

Every mid-build feature add costs roughly one and a half to two times what it would have cost in the original scope. We lock scope at week zero with an explicit change-request process for anything new. Changes go through a one-page impact assessment before they hit the sprint.

πŸ‘ Image

Pitfall 3: skipping the design system

Teams that skip a proper design system rebuild components multiple times across screens. The one to two weeks invested in a clean design system saves four to six weeks of rework. We always set up the design system in week one.

πŸ‘ Image

Pitfall 4: native modules underestimated

Cross-platform projects always need some native code. We budget at least ten percent of engineering time for native module work even on apparently cross-platform-friendly scopes. Underbudgeting this is the most common source of timeline slip.

πŸ‘ Image

Pitfall 5: observability bolted on after a production crash

Crash reporting, analytics, and error tracking must be wired in before launch. Bolting them on after a production crash costs roughly twice what it would have cost up front. We treat observability as part of the launch checklist, not the post-launch backlog.

ScalaCode vs The Alternatives

What you might compare Where ScalaCode fits When it might not
US-based mobile agency India delivery costs, Western-grade engineering, ISO 9001. We beat the US agency rate by three to four times for equivalent quality. If procurement requires a US contracting entity, contracting is more involved.
Freelance mobile developer We bring engineering management, QA, and continuity. Freelancers go cheaper but you absorb the management overhead. If you have one small feature to add and you already have a project manager, a freelancer can fit.
Other Indian engineering vendor Verified portfolio, ISO 9001 certified, named clients. Many Indian vendors do mobile, fewer can show a portfolio with this breadth. If your build is a generic CRUD app with no integrations, a generalist may quote lower.
Building in-house Faster time to v1 and lower fixed cost than hiring a five-engineer mobile team. If you already have a senior iOS or Android lead and want to staff around them, partnership may suit better than a full team.

What Clients Say

View All Testimonials

I looked around at several developers to compare costs, but they didn’t fit within my budget. Finally, I reached out to a company in India called ScalaCode. We set up several online meetings over a couple of weeks and came up with an app that did exactly what I wanted within my budget. I can confidently say that ScalaCode has been an excellent choice for me.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Should I build native iOS and Android or use cross-platform like React Native or Flutter?

    Native is the right call when the app needs heavy platform-specific behaviour, gaming, advanced camera, deep background processing, or platform-specific UX. Cross-platform is the right call for content-heavy apps, marketplace, fintech, and B2B SaaS companions. Cross-platform typically saves thirty to fifty percent over native iOS plus Android for equivalent scope.

  • How long does it take to build a mobile app?

    Tier 1 simple app: eight to fourteen weeks. Tier 2 mid-complexity: fourteen to twenty-six weeks. Tier 3 enterprise-grade: twenty-six to fifty-two weeks. Production hardening and post-launch iteration add roughly twenty-five to forty percent more time.

  • What does mobile app development cost?

    India delivery: $25K to $500K depending on tier. Cross-platform typically thirty to fifty percent less than native iOS plus Android for equivalent scope. Hourly rates $13 to $25 by seniority. Monthly dedicated team $1,200 to $4,000 per engineer.

  • Do you submit to the App Store and Google Play on our behalf?

    Yes. We handle App Store Connect and Google Play Console submission, store listings, screenshots, review responses, and post-launch updates. App Store first-submission acceptance is ninety percent for us when the guidelines have been built into the project from week one.

  • Can you maintain an app we built somewhere else?

    Yes, with a technical due diligence phase first. We audit the codebase, document state, identify risks, and propose a steady-state engagement. Most takeovers start with a four-week stabilisation sprint before steady-state maintenance begins.

  • Who owns the code and the app store listing?

    You do. IP assignment is in the master service agreement. App Store and Google Play accounts are under your ownership; we publish from your developer account, not ours.

  • What if our backend or APIs are not mobile-ready?

    We audit the backend during discovery. Many web APIs are not mobile-ready because of pagination shape, payload size, or auth refresh behaviour. We can rebuild the affected endpoints or add a mobile-optimised API layer. We surface this in discovery so it does not blow up the build mid-sprint.

  • How fast can a dedicated mobile team start?

    Usually within days. We agree on the scope, you interview and approve the engineers we propose, and they join your tools. The team comes from our existing vetted bench. Discovery to first shipped sprint typically runs three to five weeks for a clean start.
