Mobile App Development
iOS and Android apps in Flutter or React Native, with the Laravel API built in house.
We build the mobile app and the Laravel API behind it under one roof, choosing Flutter or React Native based on what actually fits your project. The people who design your screens and the people who build your backend are the same team.
Outcome
Flutter & React Native, one team throughout
Every Mobile App Development engagement leads with the metric it moves, not a keyword screenshot.
The problem
Most mobile builds break where the app meets the API.
A lot of app projects split the work: one team builds the Flutter or React Native front end, another team, often a freelancer or a separate agency, builds the backend API, and the two sides have to agree on a contract neither one fully controls. Endpoints change, screens break, and it is never clear whose job the fix is. We build both sides ourselves: the same team that designs your Laravel API also builds the app that calls it, so a schema change and a screen update happen in the same sprint. That does not remove the real complexity of shipping a mobile app, but it removes a source of delay that has nothing to do with the product itself.
What does Mobile App Development include?
This is the specific work that makes up a monthly engagement.
-
Flutter App Development
One codebase for iOS and Android, built on Google's own toolkit.
-
React Native App Development
JavaScript and React, compiled down to genuinely native iOS and Android apps.
-
Mobile App MVPs
The smallest working app that lets real users tell you what to build next.
-
App Store & Google Play Launch
Submission, review, and listing setup for both stores, handled for you.
What you get
What's included in your Mobile App Development plan?
Every plan lists what ships and when. No surprise scope, no billable retainer creep.
- Flutter or React Native apps for iOS and Android
- Laravel API and backend built by the same team
- Discovery and technical scoping before a fixed quote
- Authentication, push notifications, and payments wired in
- App Store and Google Play submission handled for you
- 30-day post-launch support window included
The stack
The stack behind the app you can actually maintain.
Flutter or React Native on the front end, a Laravel API behind it, chosen for what a future developer can pick up, not for what is fastest to demo.
Mobile
- Flutter
- React Native
- Native modules where a platform needs them
Backend / API
- Laravel
- Sanctum (API authentication)
- Laravel Horizon (queues)
Data & services
- MySQL / PostgreSQL
- Redis (cache and queues)
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (push)
Release & monitoring
- App Store Connect
- Google Play Console
- Sentry (error tracking)
This is the same stack ZiRank's own site runs on: Laravel, Livewire, Filament, self-hosted.
Sample deliverables
Real artifacts, not slide-deck theatre.
Every Mobile App Development retainer ships these. You keep them all, forever, whether you renew or not.
-
Technical scoping doc
The user flows, screens, and API endpoints documented before a fixed quote is given, so both sides agree what "done" means before work starts.
-
Working builds as you go
A TestFlight or internal Android build you can install on your own phone as the app takes shape, not a single reveal at the end.
-
Documented Laravel API
The backend that powers your app, with authentication and endpoints documented, so a future developer or an in-house hire can pick it up without guessing.
-
Store-ready submission
App Store and Google Play listings prepared and submitted on your own developer accounts, so you keep ownership and control of both listings.
How we work
How we run your Mobile App Development engagement.
-
01
Scope
A discovery session maps the core user flows, the screens, and the API endpoints the app needs. Because pricing depends entirely on scope, we quote a fixed cost only after this step, never before.
-
02
Design
We design the screens in Figma first, using each platform's own conventions so the app feels native on iOS and native on Android, not like a website in a box. You approve the flow before a line of app code is written.
-
03
Build
The Flutter or React Native app and its Laravel API are built in parallel by the same team, with a working build you can install on your own phone as it takes shape. Authentication, push notifications, and any payment or booking logic are built and tested together, not bolted on at the end.
-
04
Launch
We handle the App Store and Google Play submission process, including the store listing, screenshots, and privacy details each platform asks for. A 30-day post-launch support window covers the fixes that only show up once real users are on the app.

Straight answers
Questions we hear about Mobile App Development.
-
How much does a mobile app cost in Dubai?
Mobile app costs are not published as a fixed price list because the right number depends on the screens, platforms, and integrations the app actually needs. We scope every project first, covering both the app and the Laravel backend behind it, then send a fixed quote rather than an hourly estimate. If you want a real number, the next step is a scoping call, not a guess from a price page.
-
Should we build for iOS, Android, or both?
Most UAE businesses need to support both iOS and Android, since neither platform dominates the local market the way it might elsewhere. Flutter and React Native both let us build for both platforms from a largely shared codebase, so covering both rarely doubles the cost the way two separate native apps would. We help you decide based on your actual customers during scoping rather than defaulting to one platform.
-
Do you build the backend and API as well as the app?
Yes, the same team that builds your Flutter or React Native app also builds the Laravel API and backend behind it. Authentication, data, and business logic live in one place instead of being split across two vendors who have to coordinate every change. It also means one team is accountable if something between the app and the backend stops working.
-
Will our app rank well in the App Store or Google Play?
We do not promise app store rankings or download numbers. A clear listing, accurate screenshots, and a well-written description can make an app more discoverable, but where it ranks in a store search depends on downloads, reviews, and other factors outside any developer's control. We focus on a compliant, well-presented submission rather than a result we cannot guarantee.
-
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
Build time depends entirely on how many screens, platforms, and integrations the app needs, so we do not quote a timeline before scoping the project. A simple app with a handful of screens takes meaningfully less time than one with payments, real-time features, or offline support. Once the scope is defined, the timeline comes with the fixed quote, not as a separate guess.
