Mobile App Development Company in Michigan, US

Mobile application development is the process of creating software applications designed to run on mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. This includes developing apps for iPhone, iPad, SamSung, Galaxy Android Phones and Tablets.

Native Apps: Built specifically for one platform (iOS or Android) using platform-specific languages like Swift (iOS) or Java/Kotlin (Android). They offer the best performance and access to device features.

Web Apps: Mobile-optimized websites that behave like apps but run in a browser, typically using HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. They are platform-independent but have limited access to device features.

Hybrid Apps: A mix of native and web apps, built using cross-platform tools like Xamarin (.Net MAUI), React Native or Flutter. They run on multiple platforms with a single codebase while providing more access to device features than web apps.

The choice between iOS and Android depends on your target audience, budget, and business goals. iOS is preferred in markets like North America and Western Europe, while Android has a larger global user base, especially in emerging markets.

You may choose to develop for both platforms if you are developing a product. If your user base is some specific users and specifically in the US then, you can first develop for iOS.

The timeline for mobile app development depends on the complexity, features, and platform(s) involved. Simple apps can take 3-4 months, while more complex apps with custom features, integrations, and security measures can take 8-12 months or more.

The cost varies based on the complexity of the app, the number of platforms (iOS, Android), design intricacies, and the integration of backend systems or third-party services.

We provide a detailed estimate after understanding your project scope and requirements. Please reach out to us to set up a free consultation.

We take a user-focused approach, starting with a deep dive into your business requirements. By conducting discovery meetings and workshops, creating wireframes and prototyping the new application, we ensure that you see your vision taking shape in the form of application. By employing iterative development, we ensure that the final product aligns with your goals and delivers the functionality you need.

Some of our customers choose to develop a prototype mobile app - that looks and feels like real app but does not have real functions. You can opt for developing such a prototype app to ensure it works exactly as you had wished.

Our development process typically includes the following phases:

Discovery & Requirement Gathering: Identifying business needs, audience, and app objectives.

Design & Prototyping: Creating wireframes, UX/UI designs, and interactive prototypes.

Development: Coding the app and building back-end infrastructure if needed.

Testing: Conducting quality assurance and usability testing to ensure functionality.

Launch: Publishing the app to app stores (Apple App Store, Google Play Store).

Post-Launch Support: Providing updates, maintenance, and improvements.

We handle the technical aspect of the submission process to both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, ensuring your app meets all guidelines and requirements for each platform. This includes preparing metadata, screenshots, and descriptions for the app listing.

There are non-technical requirements for publishing. Customer’s Legal and Marketing team may need to provide certain documents and language to be used for the publishing. Customer will need to arrange for these non-technical aspects

Yes, we can integrate your mobile app with existing systems, databases, or third-party services such as CRMs, payment gateways, social media, or cloud-based platforms.

For us security is not an after-thought. We use Security-first design approach while building the backend for mobile apps.

SonarQube is used in our development process for static code analysis. We also can help and consult for the dynamic penetration testing. It is always recommended to be done by third parties and not by the original developers.

We prioritize security throughout the development process by following best practices such as secure coding techniques, data encryption, secure authentication, and regular security testing.

We also ensure compliance with relevant regulations, such as GDPR or HIPAA, when applicable.

We provide ongoing maintenance and support to ensure your app remains up-to-date, secure, and bug-free. This includes releasing updates, fixing issues, adding new features, and adapting to new OS versions or device models.

For Apple (iOS), we heavily use TestFlight to release updates or new features to internal or external testing teams. Once they are verified via TestFlight version then they are released to the AppStore.

Similar approach is used using Google PlayStore for Android App Updates.

For each update, there is a release version that users can download manually or the device will automatically download as per user’s settings. Optionally, we can implement force download within the app that requires users to upgrade to new version before using the app.

Yes, we can integrate analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Firebase, or custom solutions to track user behavior, app performance, and key metrics, helping you make data-driven decisions for future updates or marketing efforts.

We strongly recommend that you have prepared your business plan and you think that you are building a viable solution that has business potential.

We can suggest or guide how to implement technical solutions for monetizing the app - such as In-App Purchase, Subscription or Advertising.
