iOS & Android development

The right platform for the right reason, not the cheapest default

livewall builds native iOS, native Android, and cross-platform mobile apps where the platform decision follows product requirements. One team, both platforms, behavioral design at the core.

More about Digital Products

Platform choice should follow the product, not a preference

Most development agencies default to cross-platform because it is easier to staff and quicker to pitch. livewall makes the platform decision based on what the product actually requires. Native when the platform experience, performance, or system integrations demand it. Cross-platform when development speed and cross-device consistency are the priority. That distinction matters more than most clients are told. As part of livewall's Digital Products practice, iOS and Android development sits alongside web development, MVP prototyping, and community platform work in a single integrated team.

The strategist, designer, and engineer who define the product requirements are the same people who build it. Nothing gets simplified in translation. The platform decision, the UX approach, and the technical architecture are resolved together, before development starts.

Platform-appropriate, always

We build natively when the platform demands it and cross-platform when speed and consistency matter. Product requirements lead, not defaults.

One team, both platforms

iOS and Android built by one team for consistent quality, shared product vision, and coordinated releases across both platforms.

App store expertise

Submission, review management, and app store optimisation for both Apple App Store and Google Play built into the development process from the start.

Native when it matters

Some products demand native. Features like ARKit, Face ID, HealthKit, or deep haptic feedback are only achievable with Swift. Platform-specific UX patterns, performance benchmarks, and system-level integrations require code built specifically for each platform. For those products, livewall builds in Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, following Apple and Google design guidelines and optimising for the unique strengths of each environment.

What we deliver on both platforms

From Swift and Kotlin native builds to React Native and Flutter cross-platform development, livewall covers the full iOS and Android stack.

Native iOS development

Native iOS development

Swift for iPhone and iPad with platform-specific UX, performance, and Apple compliance.

Native Android development

Native Android development

Kotlin for Android with platform-specific patterns, fragmentation handling, and Play compliance.

Cross-platform development

Cross-platform development

React Native or Flutter when cross-platform consistency and development speed are the priority.

One team building both platforms

Separate iOS and Android teams create friction: diverging visions, inconsistent releases, and double the coordination overhead. livewall builds both platforms in one squad with the same brief, design system, and sprint rhythm. The result is consistent quality and coordinated releases without a dedicated PM. For a wider mobile strategy, our Mobile App Development practice covers the full lifecycle.

App store submission and post-launch performance

Getting a well-built app through App Store Review and Google Play review is not a formality. livewall manages the submission process, review feedback, and any follow-up requirements for both platforms as part of the standard development scope. App store optimisation, including metadata, screenshots, and keyword strategy, is handled before the first submission.

After launch, livewall partners with clients to monitor real usage data, respond to platform updates, and ship new versions. iOS and Android both operate on annual major release cycles that require active maintenance. We build with that timeline in mind from day one. For teams validating a concept before committing to a full build, our App Development practice covers the full scope from early product thinking to live app.
