Mobile Engineer / Developer

Developing for mobile brings constraints you do not meet on the web: the app must remain usable on the underground with no signal, must not drain the battery, must adapt to screens from five to thirteen inches and must pass Apple's notoriously demanding review. The mobile developer knows these rules and designs accordingly, which avoids publication rejections and poor ratings caused by avoidable problems.

How we work

What we do

The work starts with choosing the approach: cross-platform to cover both systems at lower cost, or native when graphics performance or hardware access demands it. This choice determines both the development budget and the maintenance budget for several years.

  1. 1

    Choosing the technical approach

    Deciding between cross-platform and native based on the expected features and the maintenance budget.

  2. 2

    Mobile journey design

    Screens adapted to touch use and to each system's conventions.

  3. 3

    App development

    Building the screens and processing, managing caching and synchronisation.

  4. 4

    Testing on real devices

    Checks on several models, screen sizes and system versions, including older devices.

  5. 5

    Publication and updates

    Preparation of store listings, submission and management of updates as the systems evolve.

Frequently asked questions

Expertise FAQ

Not always. If you only need people to look up information, a well-designed website costs much less. An app is justified for notifications, offline use or very frequent use.

Allow for the developer accounts (€99 for Apple, a one-off €25 for Google) and a maintenance contract. Without updates, an app becomes incompatible within one to two years.

Yes, and it is strongly recommended: the app then remains your property, regardless of your provider.

Rejections always state the reason. We fix it and resubmit; support through to approval is included in our packages.

Development takes ten to twenty weeks, plus a few days for store review.
