React Native app design & development
React Native app development for iOS and Android
One codebase, both platforms — design, development and store submission handled end to end for a fixed $2,500, typically live in two to three weeks.

The problem I solve
- ✕Quotes that double because iOS and Android are treated as two builds
- ✕Developers who hand back a build and leave store submission to you
- ✕Apps designed on a desktop canvas and never tested on a real phone
Quick answer
A cross-platform React Native app covering both iOS and Android costs $2,500 as a fixed price, including design, development and store submission, and typically takes two to three weeks plus review time. One codebase serves both platforms, so you are not paying for two separate builds.
How I approach it
React Native means one codebase produces both the iOS and Android app, which is why the price is a single figure rather than two. The design is done in Figma first, then built — so what you approve is what ships, and there is no rebuild after sign-off.
Store submission is part of the job, not an afterthought handed back to you. That includes the review requirements both stores enforce, the assets they ask for, and the back-and-forth that usually catches teams out on a first submission.
The back end is your choice — an existing service, or something custom. Most early apps do not need much of one, and I would rather tell you that than build infrastructure you are not using yet.
