Mobile App Development
iOS, Android, and cross-platform apps, taken from concept to the app stores by the same team that builds the backend behind them.
It designs, builds, and ships apps for iOS and Android, including the backend systems the app runs on. Eclipse Dev Studios covers the full stack: the app, the API behind it, app store submission, and the updates that come after launch.
What We Build
An App Is Only Half the Build
Every serious app is a client to a backend: accounts, data, sync, notifications, payments. Shops that only do the app leave you sourcing that separately. We engineer both halves together, so the app, the API, and the data model are designed as one system.

Questions We Get Asked
Should I build a native or cross-platform app?
Cross-platform (one codebase for iOS and Android) is right for most business and content apps: one build, two stores, lower cost. Native wins when you need heavy device integration, top-end performance, or platform-specific UX. We lay out the trade-offs for your specific app during discovery, with reasons you can check.
Do you build the backend too?
Yes, and we'd rather you didn't split it. The API, database, accounts, and admin tooling behind the app are half the product. Building both halves as one system is what keeps sync, performance, and security from becoming somebody else's problem later.
Do you handle app store submission?
Yes. Store listings, review guidelines, certificates, and the review back-and-forth with Apple and Google are part of the project. You end with your app live in the stores under your own developer accounts, which you own.
What does a mobile app cost to build?
App projects start at $5,000, and scope drives the rest: screens, platforms, backend complexity, and integrations. After a free discovery conversation you get a mapped plan, a fixed price, and a timeline before you commit.
What happens after the app launches?
iOS and Android keep moving, so the app has to. We stay on for OS updates, bug fixes, new features, and store policy changes. You're never left with a binary nobody maintains.
Have an App Idea?
From sketch to store listing, one team handles the app and the backend behind it. Tell us what it should do and we'll send a fixed quote.
