Native mobile apps built 
to stand out

Our end-to-end native Android and iOS application development has a single goal: to create beautiful, responsive, and secure products which solve users' problems and expand your business.

Why native app development?

Native apps are built specifically for iOS or Android, using the help of platform-native tools and languages. This way, the products have a clear edge in terms of performance, responsiveness, and integration with hardware as well as OS-level features. Hence, it's a wise choice for environments where quality, speed, and stability are not topics of debate.

Maximum speed and responsiveness

Native code runs directly on the device, giving a smooth UI, quick loads, and immediate interaction.

Access to every capability of the device

Get all the aces up a sleeve: sensors, cameras, biometrics, Bluetooth, AR, and system APIs. No workarounds or compromises.

Reliable offline performance

Native approach is more robust when handling caching and background work compared to web solutions.

Future-proofed and scalable

Less to maintain, tune, and scale as target platforms evolve and user expectations grow.

World-class UX

Native best practices like Human Interface and Material Design help us deliver a polished and user-friendly interface aligned with user behavior.

iOS development

Here, we leverage Swift, Swift UI, Xcode, and other leading technologies that allow our developers to design responsive and engaging apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and the entire Apple universe. With these technologies, we are able to meet the quality benchmark that Apple itself demands high, and engage users with performance and simplicity.

Firebase

Android development

We leverage Kotlin, Android Studio IDE, and Java as primary tools for Android app development. To quickly develop high-quality solutions, we opt for Firebase as well.

Flutter

Cross-platform development

For cross-platform projects, we use Flutter. It helps us deliver an identical user experience on both target platforms, even if they are different. Further, we save on cost and development time, so while developing for two platforms, you still meet all the deadlines.

Node.js
GraphQL
Firebase

Custom development tools

For customized solutions, we integrate technologies like GraphQL for efficient API management, Firebase for real-time databases and analytics, and Node.js for backend development. They are flexible enough to meet the unique needs of your business or users.

Jenkins
Appium

Testing & DevOps

Throughout the app's development, we do a lot of various tests, for example, usability, A/B, performance, load, etc. That is why we use a variety of tools like TestFlight, Espresso, JUnit, and Appium. To automate CI/CD pipelines, the team implements Jenkins and GitHub Actions.

Frequently asked questions

If you don’t see your question, just reach out—we’ll answer as soon as possible.

What are the advantages of native development over other approaches?

Native development gives you the best access to each platform’s features, performance, and user experience. This approach is especially useful for apps with complex animations, offline logic, hardware access, high security needs, or platform-specific behavior. It can cost more than cross-platform development, but the result often feels more polished and stable on each device.

What is the scope of Shakuro's native app development services?

We provide full-cycle, custom services for:

  • Native iOS development
  • Native Android development
  • UI/UX design & prototyping
  • Discovery & research
  • QA & testing
  • Maintenance & support

Can you share code between iOS and Android when you are doing native development?

Some code can be shared, but not as much as with cross-platform frameworks. In native development, iOS and Android usually have separate frontend codebases, because each platform uses its own language, tools, UI patterns, and system APIs.

How long does it take to develop a native app?

A simple native app can take around 2-3 months for one platform. A more complex app usually takes 4-8 months. If you need both iOS and Android built natively, the timeline can be longer because two separate apps are being developed and tested.

For enterprise apps, timelines can go beyond 8 months, especially when the product includes complex permissions, offline mode, integrations, compliance requirements, custom UI, or heavy backend work.

How much does mobile app development cost?

Mobile app development costs depend on product complexity, platforms, design scope, integrations, and support needs.

As a rough guide, an MVP usually starts from $30,000-$60,000, native iOS or Android app development often starts from $60,000-$120,000+, and a full-featured mobile product for both platforms can range from $120,000-$250,000+.

App redesign or modernization projects often start from $25,000-$50,000, while ongoing support and maintenance can be planned as a monthly retainer starting from $3,000-$8,000/month, depending on the scope.
