## Frequently asked questions about app development

**

### Native or cross-platform — which should we build?

**

Cross-platform (React Native or Ionic) if you need one codebase across iOS and Android and don't rely on heavy platform-specific features — that's what we used for GET Nursery App. Native (Swift, Kotlin) when you need maximum performance, ARKit / CoreML, deep hardware integration, or Apple Watch and Wear OS support. See [10 advantages of React Native](https://reeddynamic.com/blog/discover-the-top-10-advantages-of-leveraging-react-native-in-mobile-app-development/).

**

### How much does an iOS or Android app cost?

**

A shipping MVP typically runs $30,000–$120,000. Complex apps with offline sync, custom hardware, or heavy integrations run higher. GET Nursery App shipped its MVP in 16 weeks. We quote fixed-scope after a paid discovery so the number in the proposal is the number you pay.

**

### Should I build a native app or a progressive web app?

**

A PWA is right when you mainly need reach and low install friction. A native or cross-platform app is right when you need push notifications on iOS, barcode scanning, offline mode, background sync, or App Store presence. We build both — read [Native App vs Web App](https://reeddynamic.com/blog/native-app-vs-web-app/) and our [PWA guide](https://reeddynamic.com/blog/progressive-web-apps-pwa-benefits-guide/).

**

### Can you publish to the App Store and Google Play?

**

Yes. Bundle IDs, provisioning, App Store Connect, Google Play Console, TestFlight, review submissions, and the resubmission when Apple has notes about your login screen — all handled.

**

### Do you take over apps built by other developers?

**

Regularly. We audit the codebase, ship a small win in the first two weeks, and roll into ongoing feature work with a defined SLA.

**

### Do you integrate apps with our eCommerce platform?

**

Yes. Magento 2, WooCommerce, Shopify, and BigCommerce REST/GraphQL APIs, plus POS, loyalty, and payment providers like Stripe. GET Nursery App syncs inventory, pricing, and orders across multiple physical locations in real time.

**

### Do you handle post-launch maintenance?

**

Yes, on a monthly retainer: OS updates for each iOS/Android release cycle, crash triage, App Store review replies, dependency upgrades, and a monthly roadmap check-in.
