## Tools & technologies

-   React Native
-   Flutter
-   Swift
-   Kotlin
-   Expo
-   Firebase

## Choose the platform around the task.

### Native

Consider it when platform-specific behaviour, hardware access or demanding interactions drive the experience.

### React Native / cross-platform

Share the core iOS and Android journeys with React Native where it fits. Scope native modules for device-specific features, then test performance and releases on both platforms.

### Mobile web

Consider a browser experience when installation and store distribution add little to the task.

## A few practical questions.

### Native or cross-platform?

The choice depends on device features, interaction complexity, existing skills and platform differences. We make that decision against the product requirements rather than assuming one approach fits every app.

### Can an app work fully offline?

Only the agreed tasks and data can work offline. We define what is stored locally, how long it is retained, how edits reconcile and what still requires a connection.

### Who owns the store accounts?

Your organisation should own its developer accounts and associated commercial agreements. We can prepare builds and submission materials within the agreed access and scope.

### Does delivery guarantee store approval?

No. Store review is controlled by the platform. Release planning includes policy checks and review responses, but acceptance and review timing remain outside our control.

## Start with the moment of use.

Bring the core task, target devices and what must work without a connection.
