Mobile App Development

Build Secure, Scalable, and Delightful Mobile Apps — Native, Cross-Platform, or Hybrid

At Innosaber, we design and deliver custom mobile apps that solve real business problems and delight users. From consumer-facing apps to complex enterprise mobile solutions that integrate with CRMs, ERPs, payment systems, and IoT devices — we build end-to-end mobile products for iOS, Android and modern cross-platform stacks.

What We Build

• Consumer mobile apps (B2C) — marketplaces, social, lifestyle, fintech, travel, media.
• Enterprise mobile apps (B2E/B2B) — field service, sales enablement, asset tracking, inventory, HR systems.
• Mobile-first web apps & PWAs for users on any device.
• Connected apps that integrate with backend APIs, microservices, third-party SaaS, IoT, BLE devices and on-prem systems.
• E-commerce & payment apps with secure checkout, wallets and payment gateway integrations.
• MVPs & prototyping to validate ideas quickly and iterate.

Platforms & Technologies We Use

• Datastores: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis
• Auth & SSO: OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SAML, JWT, Single Sign-On (Okta, Auth0, Azure AD)
• Payments & Wallets: Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, local gateways (as needed)
• Push & Messaging: Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Apple Push Notification Service (APNs), Twilio
• DevOps & CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitrise, Fastlane, Docker, Kubernetes
• Analytics & Monitoring: Google Analytics / Firebase Analytics, Sentry, Crashlytics, Datadog

Step-by-step Mobile App Development Process (We Follow Scrum)

We follow an agile Scrum approach with iterative sprints so you get early value, frequent demos, and predictable outcomes.

1. Discovery & Product Strategy

• Stakeholder interviews and business goals.
• User research, personas, and competitive analysis.
• Define core features, KPIs and success metrics.
• Deliverable: Product brief, prioritised feature list, high-level project plan and estimates.

2. Architecture & Integration Planning

• Choose the right platform(s) (native vs cross-platform) based on UX needs, performance, time-to-market, and budget.
• Define system architecture: backend services, data flow, offline strategy, sync & conflict resolution, and security controls.
• Identify third-party integrations (ERP, CRM, payment gateways, push providers, analytics).
• Deliverable: Technical architecture diagram, API contract definitions, data model.

3. UX & UI Design (Mobile-first)

• Map user journeys and create task flows.
• Low-fidelity wireframes → interactive high-fidelity prototypes (Figma).
• Mobile UI system & component library (design tokens, accessibility specs).
• Deliverable: Clickable prototypes and design system ready for implementation.

4. Sprint Planning & Setup

• Break features into user stories with acceptance criteria.
• Set up project board, environments (dev/staging/prod), and CI/CD pipelines.
• Provision accounts for App Store Connect and Google Play Console (we assist if needed).

5. Incremental Development (Sprint-by-sprint)

• Implement features in short sprints (1–2 weeks) — front-end UI, business logic, background sync, secure storage.
• Backend work: APIs, auth, push, file storage, serverless functions or microservices as required.
• Implement offline-first behaviour and data sync patterns if needed.
• Continuous integration, unit tests, and automated builds every sprint.

Daily Scrum ensures alignment and quick removal of blockers.

6. Quality Assurance & Testing

• Functional testing, device & OS fragmentation testing, cross-network testing.
• Automated unit tests, integration tests and end-to-end tests (as applicable).
• Performance testing (including cold start time, memory usage, and battery consumption) and network behaviour.
• Accessibility testing (screen reader support, contrast, large text).
• Security testing (OWASP Mobile Top 10 checks, secure storage, encryption in transit & at rest).

7. Beta Releases & User Acceptance Testing

• Distribute to internal testers and early users via TestFlight (iOS) and Google Play Internal/Closed testing tracks.
• Collect feedback, crash reports, and telemetry; iterate quickly in subsequent sprints.

8. App Store & Play Store Submission

• Prepare build, metadata, localised descriptions, screenshots, and privacy policy.
• App signing, provisioning, and compliance checks.
• We handle submissions, remediation of store review issues, and follow-up until approval is received.

Launch & Post-Launch Monitoring

• Production rollout strategy (phased rollout, feature flags).
• Monitor analytics, crash reports, performance and user feedback.
• Hotfixes and immediate patches as required.

Ongoing Support & Roadmap

• Regular maintenance (OS updates, dependency upgrades), feature releases, and A/B testing.
• Optional managed support and dedicated teams (full-time/part-time) for continuous delivery.

Integration Patterns & Backend Connectivity (Practical Details)

• API-first approach: design robust, versioned REST or GraphQL APIs with clear contracts.
• Real-time & Sync: WebSockets or Socket.IO for chat/real-time features; background sync and conflict resolution for offline apps.
• Push Notifications & In-app Messaging: tailored campaigns and deep links to drive engagement.
• Secure Authentication: token-based auth (JWT), refresh tokens, secure storage (Keychain, Keystore), biometric auth (FaceID / TouchID / Android Biometrics).
• Payment Flows: client-side payment UX with server-side verification and webhooks for reconciliation.
• Third-party SaaS: CRM (Salesforce), ERP, analytics or marketing automation integrations with secure middleware.
• IoT & Hardware: BLE, NFC, GPS, camera/scanner integrations and telemetry ingestion.

Security, Privacy & Compliance

• Data encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest.
• Secure key management and secret rotation.
• GDPR, CCPA and local data residency considerations — we advise on compliance and consent flows.
• Penetration testing and security audits upon request.

Testing Matrix & Device Coverage

• Physical devices + cloud device farms (BrowserStack, Firebase Test Lab) to ensure wide coverage across OS versions and form factors.
• Focus on both high-volume device profiles and edge cases for target markets.

Delivery Models & Resourcing

• Fixed Scope (Project-based): Great for well-defined app builds with clear deliverables.
• Dedicated Team / Resource Augmentation: Hire Innosaber engineers (full-time or part-time) to embed with your team — ideal for long-term product evolution.
• Hybrid: Fixed price for MVP + dedicated resources for ongoing feature development.

We provide developers, mobile architects, QA engineers, DevOps and product managers — matched to your technical needs and budget.
