iOS & Android App Development — Dubai & UAE
Mobile App Development
in Dubai
We design and build iOS and Android apps for UAE businesses — cross-platform React Native, Arabic RTL support, UAE payment integration, and full App Store/Play Store deployment.
+Androidone codebase, both platforms — no double cost
What We Build
Mobile App Services
for the UAE Market
We build apps that UAE users actually use — fast, bilingual, integrated with local payment methods and services, and shipped to both stores from a single build.
Cross-Platform App Development
React Native apps that run on iOS and Android from a single codebase — same performance, same UI quality, one budget. We don't cut corners on native feel.
Consumer & Marketplace Apps
On-demand, marketplace, and consumer apps with user accounts, push notifications, ratings systems, and in-app purchases — designed for UAE user behaviour.
Enterprise Mobile Apps
Internal tools for field teams, operations apps, approval workflows, and client portals — mobile-first systems that replace manual processes at UAE companies.
UAE Payment Integration
Local payment methods integrated natively: PayTabs, Tabby, Tamara, Stripe, and Apple Pay / Google Pay — all compliant with UAE payment regulations.
App UI/UX Design
Full mobile UI/UX design — user research, Figma prototyping, Arabic/English dual layout, interaction design, and design system handoff to developers.
App Store & Play Store Submission
We handle the entire submission process: metadata, screenshots, review compliance, and rejection resolution. Your app in both stores without the headache.
Approach
Native vs Cross-Platform:
What We Recommend for UAE
Most UAE businesses don't need fully native iOS and Android apps. Here's how we think about it — honestly.
Native iOS
Swift / Xcode only
- Best possible iOS performance
- Access to all Apple-exclusive APIs
- Highest upfront cost
- Separate Android project required
- Best for: AR apps, high-performance games, Apple Watch
Our Recommendation
React Native
iOS + Android from one codebase
- Near-native performance for most apps
- One build = both platforms
- 40–60% cost saving vs dual native
- Arabic RTL support is excellent
- Best for: consumer apps, enterprise tools, UAE businesses
Native Android
Kotlin / Android Studio only
- Best possible Android performance
- Full access to Android APIs
- Highest fragmentation testing burden
- Separate iOS project required
- Best for: deeply hardware-integrated apps
Our Process
How We Deliver
Your Mobile App
Discovery & Scoping
We map your user journeys, define the MVP feature set, identify backend requirements, and choose the right technical approach — before anyone writes a line of code. You get a full technical spec and timeline.
UI/UX Design
Full Figma prototypes for every screen — in both English and Arabic — with interaction states, loading patterns, empty states, and error handling. Approved before development starts.
Agile Development
2-week sprints, each delivering a working build on TestFlight (iOS) and internal testing track (Android). You interact with real working software — not just screenshots — every two weeks.
QA & Device Testing
Testing across iOS devices (iPhone SE to Pro Max) and popular Android handsets used in UAE, including Samsung Galaxy and Xiaomi — the actual devices your customers use.
Store Submission & Launch
We prepare App Store and Google Play listings, manage the review process, handle any rejections, and coordinate your launch. Post-launch monitoring and bug fixes included for 30 days.

Common Questions About
App Development in Dubai
How much does it cost to develop a mobile app in Dubai?
Mobile app development in Dubai typically ranges from AED 35,000 for a simple cross-platform MVP to AED 300,000+ for a complex enterprise application. Most consumer apps for UAE businesses fall between AED 60,000–150,000 for both iOS and Android. We build with React Native for most projects, which keeps costs down vs native development for each platform separately.
How long does it take to build a mobile app in Dubai?
A focused MVP mobile application takes 10–16 weeks from kickoff to App Store launch. More complex apps with backend systems, multiple user roles, or marketplace features take 5–9 months. We work in 2-week sprints so you see working screens at every milestone.
Do you build apps in Arabic?
Yes. We build fully Arabic-supported mobile apps with RTL (right-to-left) layout, Arabic typography, Arabic number formatting, and bilingual English/Arabic switching. UAE mobile users expect native Arabic support — we build it properly, not as a bolted-on translation.
Do you submit to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We handle the complete App Store and Google Play submission process including app metadata, screenshots, review compliance, and — if needed — resolution of any review rejections. We've done this many times and know exactly what Apple and Google reviewers look for.
Do you offer app maintenance after launch?
Yes. We offer optional post-launch maintenance retainers covering iOS and Android OS update compatibility, bug fixes, performance monitoring, and new feature development. Most clients take at least a 6-month retainer after launch.
