Mobile App Development in UAE That Users Actually Use

We develop for iOS and Android using both native and cross-platform approaches. Native development uses Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, delivering optimal performance and platform integration. Cross-platform development uses React Native or Flutter when building for both platforms efficiently makes sense. We recommend the approach based on your product requirements, budget, and timeline rather than defaulting to one solution.

Development timelines depend on complexity. A focused MVP with core features typically takes three to four months. Full-featured applications with backend systems, integrations, and admin dashboards usually require five to eight months. Complex apps with multiple user types, real-time features, or advanced functionality can take nine to twelve months. We provide detailed timelines after scoping your specific requirements.

App development costs range from AED 150,000 for straightforward applications to over AED 2 million for complex products. The range reflects differences in scope: a simple service booking app costs less than a fintech platform with payment processing, compliance requirements, and real-time transaction handling. We scope projects in detail before quoting, breaking down costs by feature so you understand what drives the investment.

High-end apps typically involve complex backend systems, multiple integrations, advanced security requirements, and sophisticated features. A delivery app needs real-time tracking, driver management, payment processing, and admin systems. A fintech app requires bank-grade security, regulatory compliance, and transaction infrastructure. These aren't just more screens; they're fundamentally more complex engineering challenges requiring specialized expertise and extensive testing.

We build complete products including backend systems, APIs, databases, and admin dashboards. Most apps require server infrastructure to function. We architect backends using Node.js, Python, or Go depending on requirements, deploy on scalable cloud infrastructure, and integrate with third-party services like payment gateways, mapping APIs, and push notification systems. You receive a complete working product, not just a frontend shell.

We work with both, though our approach differs. Startups typically need focused MVPs that validate ideas quickly and efficiently. Established companies often require integration with existing systems and more complex feature sets. For startups, we help prioritize features and define realistic MVP scope. For enterprises, we navigate technical integration and compliance requirements. Both benefit from the same development quality and process rigor.

Post-launch support includes bug fixes, performance monitoring, and App Store update management. Most clients continue with ongoing development to add features, respond to user feedback, and expand functionality. We offer maintenance retainers for monitoring and minor updates, as well as continued development engagements for product evolution. Apps require ongoing attention; we structure support to match your needs.

Yes, integration with existing infrastructure is common. We work with ERP systems, CRMs, payment processors, inventory management, loyalty platforms, and custom backends. Integration complexity varies: some systems have well-documented APIs while others require custom middleware. We assess integration requirements during discovery and factor them into project scope. Our Dubai and Abu Dhabi clients often need connections to regional payment gateways and local services.

We manage the complete submission process for both App Store and Google Play. This includes preparing metadata, screenshots, and descriptions, configuring app settings, and ensuring compliance with platform guidelines. We handle the review process and address any rejection issues. Our experience with submission requirements means fewer surprises. Apps typically reach stores within one to two weeks after development completion.

To provide an accurate proposal, we need to understand the problem your app solves, who will use it, and what core features it requires. Sharing any existing documentation, wireframes, or competitor examples helps. We also need to know your target platforms, integration requirements, and timeline constraints. A discovery conversation covers these points and allows us to respond with relevant technical approach and realistic estimates.
