Our Mobile App Development Services

Cross-Platform Development

Build once, deploy everywhere.

React Native Development:

// React Native Example - Modern Architecture
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import {
  View,
  Text,
  FlatList,
  StyleSheet,
  RefreshControl,
} from 'react-native';
import { useQuery, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { ProductCard } from '@/components/ProductCard';
import { api } from '@/services/api';

interface Product {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  price: number;
  image: string;
  category: string;
}

export function ProductListScreen() {
  const queryClient = useQueryClient();

  const { data: products, isLoading, refetch } = useQuery({
    queryKey: ['products'],
    queryFn: () => api.products.getAll(),
  });

  const handleRefresh = async () => {
    await queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['products'] });
  };

  const renderProduct = ({ item }: { item: Product }) => (
    <ProductCard
      product={item}
      onPress={() => navigation.navigate('ProductDetail', { id: item.id })}
    />
  );

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <FlatList
        data={products}
        renderItem={renderProduct}
        keyExtractor={(item) => item.id}
        numColumns={2}
        refreshControl={
          <RefreshControl refreshing={isLoading} onRefresh={handleRefresh} />
        }
        contentContainerStyle={styles.list}
      />
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#f5f5f5',
  },
  list: {
    padding: 8,
  },
});

Flutter Development:

// Flutter Example - Clean Architecture
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_riverpod/flutter_riverpod.dart';

// Product Model
class Product {
  final String id;
  final String name;
  final double price;
  final String imageUrl;

  Product({
    required this.id,
    required this.name,
    required this.price,
    required this.imageUrl,
  });
}

// Product Provider
final productsProvider = FutureProvider<List<Product>>((ref) async {
  final repository = ref.watch(productRepositoryProvider);
  return repository.getProducts();
});

// Product List Screen
class ProductListScreen extends ConsumerWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) {
    final productsAsync = ref.watch(productsProvider);

    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Products')),
      body: productsAsync.when(
        data: (products) => GridView.builder(
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(8),
          gridDelegate: SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(
            crossAxisCount: 2,
            childAspectRatio: 0.75,
            crossAxisSpacing: 8,
            mainAxisSpacing: 8,
          ),
          itemCount: products.length,
          itemBuilder: (context, index) => ProductCard(
            product: products[index],
            onTap: () => _navigateToDetail(context, products[index]),
          ),
        ),
        loading: () => Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator()),
        error: (error, stack) => Center(child: Text('Error: $error')),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Native Development

Maximum performance and platform integration.

iOS Development (Swift):

// Swift iOS Example - MVVM Architecture
import SwiftUI
import Combine

// Product View Model

    @Published var error: Error?

    private let productService: ProductServiceProtocol
    private var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()

    init(productService: ProductServiceProtocol = ProductService()) {
        self.productService = productService
        loadProducts()
    }

    func loadProducts() {
        isLoading = true
        productService.fetchProducts()
            .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
            .sink(
                receiveCompletion: { [weak self] completion in
                    self?.isLoading = false
                    if case .failure(let error) = completion {
                        self?.error = error
                    }
                },
                receiveValue: { [weak self] products in
                    self?.products = products
                }
            )
            .store(in: &cancellables)
    }
}

// Product List View
struct ProductListView: View {
    @StateObject private var viewModel = ProductViewModel()

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            Group {

                    ProgressView()
                } else {
                    productGrid
                }
            }
            .navigationTitle("Products")
        }
    }

    private var productGrid: some View {
        ScrollView {
            LazyVGrid(columns: [
                GridItem(.flexible()),
                GridItem(.flexible())
            ], spacing: 16) {
                ForEach(viewModel.products) { product in
                    NavigationLink(destination: ProductDetailView(product: product)) {
                        ProductCardView(product: product)
                    }
                }
