Native App Development Process at Uptech
01
Native App Development Consulting
We begin with a consultation to improve an existing native app or develop a brand-new one. We analyze your requirements and provide expert advice on key factors like tech stack and platform selection (Android or iOS). We also suggest ways to maximize revenue and growth potential.
02
Product Discovery and Strategy Development
Uptech's strategy development and product discovery help you validate your app idea, identify the ideal product-market fit, and avoid costly mistakes. At this point, we establish clear guidelines, specify users' pain points and needs, and develop a product-market fit strategy for your app. No careless assumptions!
03
PoC Development
We develop a Proof of Concept (PoC) for a native app to quickly experiment with new and untested business ideas before full-scale development. Whether it's an AI-powered product or a next-generation fitness tracker, we embark on this process within two months to validate market needs, assess technical feasibility, and save costs for further development.
04
UX/UI Design
Uptech’s UI/UX design stage focuses on making your app an effortless experience through both visuals and functional, convenient user flow. This process starts with defining the product vision and conducting user research. Then, we build prototypes for initial testing before final design and development begin.
05
Native App Development
Native app development is the most time-consuming stage. We set up the technical architecture and perform UI implementation, backend development, functional implementation, system integration, and testing. Each stage is interdependent, and success hinges on seamless communication and teamwork among developers, designers, and our clients.
06
Application QA
All apps we develop undergo a streamlined quality assurance procedure. We use clear test cases and collaborative tools like Jira and TestRail. Our collaborative environment promotes open communication between QA and developers, leading to faster issue resolution and a smoother development journey.
07
Post-Release Maintenance & Support
We don’t leave you to mind your business after launch. Regular support from our team is available to respond to user feedback, platform updates, and address bugs and unexpected technical issues. Plus, it’s on-demand – you can access our expertise whenever you need it.

High
Performance
We guarantee superior performance in speed, responsiveness, and user experience, making native apps a delight for our clients. Our Android and iOS apps communicate directly with the operating systems, eliminating the layers that often slow down cross-platform apps.
Seamless User
Experience
Our research-driven approach focuses on market and user needs. We analyze competitors from the start and investigate user behavior throughout the development stage by conducting user testing. With this feedback, we create an intuitive and accessible user interface.
Enhanced
Security
We believe in ethical and secure partnerships. We sign NDAs upfront and follow industry best practices (OWASP) and data privacy regulations (GDPR, HIPAA) to ensure the protection of your information and that of your users.
Access to Advanced
Features
Native app development lets us directly utilize a device's core features. We can implement security measures by accessing built-in device security features. This includes biometric authentication, encryption, and secure data storage, providing a higher level of security for your app and its users.
Platform-Consistent User
Interface
As a native app development company, we leverage platform-specific design standards — iOS's Human Interface Guidelines or Android's Material Design — to create a user experience that feels native and intuitive for the platform's users.

FAQ
Answers to questions you may have about native app development services.
What is native app development?
Native app development is the process of creating applications for Android or iOS, not both simultaneously. Each app requires its own development tools and specialized expertise to provide a superior user experience. Android developers build apps using Java or Kotlin with the Android Studio IDE and Android SDK, while iOS developers create apps with Swift using the Xcode IDE.
How do native apps ensure high performance?
Native apps are built for a single platform, allowing direct access to the device's hardware and software components. This accessibility, combined with the platform's core language and tools, enables the creation of a high-performance and responsive user experience.
What are the key benefits of native mobile app development services?
Our native mobile app development services ensure a consistent look and feel with the platform's guidelines, providing users with a familiar and intuitive experience, enabling engineers to:
- create highly responsive user experiences;
- provide enhanced security;
- develop advanced features;
- design a platform-consistent user interface.
How does native app development differ from hybrid app development?
Native apps prioritize deep access to a specific platform's features and hardware but require separate development efforts for each platform (Android/iOS). Hybrid apps, however, offer faster development by using one codebase across platforms but may sacrifice some features and performance.
What is the cost of native mobile app development?
Native mobile app development costs range from $25,000 to $930,000, significantly impacted by the type of app. The standard cost of native mobile app development services is often benchmarked against the cost of such services in the USA. At Uptech, our team works mostly from Europe, which affects the cost of the app, along with the types and components of the app. Talk to our team to estimate your native app development costs.
What best practices and technologies does Uptech use in native app development?
We base all development activities on user needs and feedback. Our technologies are chosen based on project needs and developer experience:
- Android: Kotlin, Coroutines/RxJava, Dagger, Retrofit, Clean Architecture, Room, JUnit;
- iOS: UIKit/Swift, Combine/RxSwift, MVVM/Redux, XCTest, SnapshotTesting;
- Databases: Core Data, SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL), NoSQL (MongoDB), Elasticsearch/Algolia, Redis;
- Cloud Infrastructure: AWS Cloud, Google Cloud;
- CI/CD: CircleCI, Gitlab CI, Github Actions, Fastline;
- Analytics: Segment, Amplitude.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes, we sign an NDA at the very start of all our native app development services. To us, data security is non-negotiable. We comply with changing data regulations in all industries and domains we work with. Where applicable, we go the extra mile with OWASP Secure Coding Practices and GDPR best practices.
