React Native App Development for B2B and B2C Apps

■ Who this is for

Who Our React Native App Development Service Is For

• B2B and B2C companies adding a mobile app to an existing web product
• Founders launching a mobile-first product who want one codebase, two stores
• Product teams that need senior React Native engineers without hiring
• Existing apps that need a rebuild, performance pass, or migration to RN
• Teams shipping AI-powered mobile experiences (chat, copilots, voice, vision)

■ Probably not a fit

We'll be honest if React Native is the wrong call

• Pure native iOS-only or Android-only apps with heavy platform-specific UX
• Games, AR/VR experiences, or anything that needs the metal of the device
• Marketing-only apps that should really just be a website
• Hourly fixes on someone else's neglected RN codebase under $5k

React Native — default for B2B and B2C apps

One codebase, two stores, deep React talent pool, and shared business logic with your web app. We use Expo's bare workflow when we want EAS for builds and OTA but full access to native modules. Hot reload and TypeScript across the boundary make sprint velocity meaningfully higher than native.

Flutter — when Dart is already a strength

Flutter is a great option if you already have Dart on the team or if your design needs pixel-identical rendering across platforms. The talent pool is shallower than React Native and the integration story with React-based web is weaker — so we rarely default to it for B2B and B2C apps.

Native iOS / Android — when the platform is the product

If the app needs heavy AR, deep system integration, performance-critical hardware access, or platform-specific UX patterns that users expect, native wins. We've shipped native when it was the right call. Most B2B and B2C apps are not in that category.

State and data — Zustand or Redux Toolkit + React Query

Zustand for most products — it's small, fast, and obvious. Redux Toolkit when the team already knows it and the data model is genuinely complex. React Query handles server state, caching, and the invalidation logic you would otherwise rebuild badly. We avoid bespoke state libraries.

Storage and offline — SQLite + WatermelonDB

AsyncStorage for tiny preferences. SQLite via WatermelonDB for anything resembling a real local dataset. We avoid syncing-by-magic libraries — the conflict logic always becomes a debugging tax later. Explicit sync that you can read and reason about ages much better.

Builds, OTA, distribution — Expo EAS + CodePush

EAS for builds, signing, and submission to both stores from a single config. CodePush or EAS Update for OTA updates of the JavaScript bundle. Native module changes still need a real store update — we are deliberate about which changes go which path.

One week. We map the product, the user journeys that matter on mobile, and the platform-specific behaviour you can't ignore (notifications, deep links, app store policy, biometrics). Output: a written architecture and a concrete plan for the first 90 days.

We choose the stack, design the navigation tree, define the offline and sync model, and confirm the OTA update strategy before writing production code. Decisions get documented so the next engineer to join is not guessing.

Auth, deep linking, the navigation shell, the design system primitives, CI builds for both platforms, and a deployable internal build. By the end of sprint zero you can install the app on a real device.

Two-week sprints. Internal builds shared via TestFlight and Firebase App Distribution after every sprint. Scope changes get re-baselined at sprint boundaries, not mid-sprint.

Performance pass on real low-end devices, offline scenarios tested deliberately, push notification flows verified end to end, store listing copy and screenshots prepared, privacy declarations filled in. We launch with monitoring and crash reporting already wired up.

We submit to both stores, handle reviewer back-and-forth, and stay on full availability for the first month after launch. Real users surface issues that no internal test catches. Then we move into the standard maintenance and feature retainer if you want us to keep going.
