Hire Mobile App Developers for iOS, Android & Cross-Platform

Whether you need a single cross-platform codebase or two native apps done right, the wrong stack decision costs you months later. We staff Flutter, React Native, iOS, and Android specialists who've shipped apps to both stores — not just built one in a tutorial.

Why hire mobile app developers through Smerdoff instead of a solo freelancer

A mobile app that works in the simulator but crashes on real devices, gets rejected at App Store review, or can't handle offline state isn't a launch — it's a delay.

Cross-platform and native, matched to your case

We recommend Flutter, React Native, or fully native based on your performance and budget needs — not on which stack we happen to know.

Fixed-scope estimates

You get a defined deliverable and price before work starts — not an open-ended hourly clock on a moving target.

US time-zone overlap

Enough working-hours overlap for daily standups and fast decisions, instead of a 12-hour async lag on every question.

NDA and IP protection built in

Your product idea, code, and designs stay yours — signed before any technical discussion starts.

Store submission experience

Engineers who've navigated App Store and Google Play review before, so submission isn't the step that blows your launch date.

Start in days, not months

A defined scoping call and proposal process instead of a recruiting cycle that takes six weeks before anyone writes code.

Specialized mobile roles available

Every mobile project needs a different mix of skills — here's how we typically staff one.

Flutter developers

Single codebase for iOS and Android with near-native performance and speed.

React Native developers

Cross-platform apps that share logic with your existing React web stack.

iOS developers

Native Swift apps for performance-critical or platform-specific features.

Android developers

Native Kotlin apps built for the Android ecosystem and device fragmentation.

Backend & API developers

Mobile-ready APIs, auth, and push infrastructure behind the app.

QA & release engineers

Device testing, crash monitoring, and store submission handled end to end.

FAQ

It depends on scope — a simple MVP costs far less than a feature-rich app with backend, payments, and offline sync. We give a fixed-scope estimate after a short discovery call rather than a blanket hourly rate.

Flutter and React Native both let you ship one codebase to iOS and Android, which is faster and cheaper for most MVPs. Native makes sense when you need deep platform integration or top-tier performance in specific screens. We'll recommend a stack after understanding your app's requirements, not before.

Yes. Most engagements use a single cross-platform codebase covering both platforms, with native specialists brought in only for features that genuinely need them.

Yes, we handle App Store and Google Play submission and offer ongoing support after launch — bug fixes, OS updates, and new features as your app grows.
