What is a Mobile App?
A mobile app is like a browser application but designed and programmed specifically to fit mobile screen sizes and sometimes utilizes additional technologies found in mobile devices such as sensors, cameras, and fingerprint scanners. Users can download or purchase the app from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
What tools are used for mobile app development?
When developing a mobile app, we use the following programming languages and tools:
- React Native
- Expo
- Node.js
- CSS
- MongoDB
- Firebase
What is required from the client to determine the price and execution period?
We need the client to provide detailed app specifications so that we can understand the required pages and the technical complexity of each page. This information allows us to determine the price and execution period.
How is the cost of a mobile app calculated?
Most of the time, we calculate the cost of developing a mobile app based on the number of required pages, but the cost may increase for certain pages if they have additional complex technical requirements. Generally, the cost of developing a mobile app ranges from 4,000 SAR to 50,000 SAR or more.
What is the execution period for developing and designing a mobile app?
The execution period varies based on the mobile app requirements provided by the client, which we analyze to determine a suitable price and execution period. However, the execution period generally ranges from 7 weeks to 30 weeks.
When publishing the app on app stores, the approval period may take from one to two weeks, sometimes longer.
What are the client requirements for us to develop the mobile app?
If the client only has the idea for the project, we can offer additional services such as creating the name, designing the logo and identity, registering the domain name, and more.
However, if the client is ready in other aspects and only needs app development, we will need the following:
- The logo in an open file format
- Access credentials for the client's publisher accounts on Google and Apple app stores to upload and publish the app
- Access credentials for the server if the client has a ready hosting server to upload the app database
What are the conditions before publishing a mobile app?
If the client does not have merchant accounts on Google and Apple app stores, the client must:
- Register a publisher account on the Google Play Store and pay the annual fee of $25
- Register a publisher account on the Apple App Store and pay the annual fee of $99
- Have an active privacy policy page accessible via a web link
