Should I build native or cross-platform?

Native wins when the app leans hard on OS-specific capability, animation performance, or deep hardware integration. Cross-platform wins when the app is mostly UI-and-forms and the team's existing skill base is web. We decide per product, not per preference. The discovery phase produces a written recommendation with the trade-offs.

React Native or Flutter?

React Native suits teams with an existing React or web codebase and a hiring pool around it. Flutter suits teams prioritising a single pixel-identical codebase across iOS and Android with strong widget composition. Both are production-ready. The choice is mostly about team continuity, not capability.

Do you do app-store submission and review?

Yes. We set up App Store Connect and Play Console, handle certificate and provisioning-profile management, run phased rollouts, respond to store-review comments, and handle the 'rejected for metadata reasons' theatre. We also maintain the store listings and assets on your behalf when the engagement extends into operations.

Can you take over an existing app?

Yes. We regularly inherit mobile apps built by agencies that have moved on, or legacy native apps that need modernisation. Week one is a health check. Crash rates, technical debt, architecture review, store-ratings triage. Week two onwards is the agreed remediation or feature plan.

How do you handle offline-first and sync?

Offline-first is a first-class design decision, not a feature bolted on at the end. We model local persistence (Core Data, Room, Realm, SQLite), design conflict resolution, build a mobile-aware sync protocol, and test it against realistic network-failure scenarios. The BFF is designed knowing it serves offline-capable clients.

What about push, deep links, and analytics?

Push, deep linking, and analytics are part of the mobile platform plumbing, not an add-on. We set up Firebase Cloud Messaging or APNs direct, Universal Links and App Links, deferred-deep-link attribution, and event instrumentation through Amplitude, Mixpanel, or your preferred analytics vendor, with a privacy and consent layer you can defend in court.

What this means at Enigmatix

Mobile as a proper engineering discipline.

The usual mobile failure mode repeats. A web team ships an app, discovers that offline sync, push notifications, store review cycles, and the OEM fragmentation tax are real problems, and six months later the app sits in maintenance purgatory. Mobile as a discipline is how we avoid that.

We build native iOS, native Android, and cross-platform apps in React Native and Flutter, with the same rigour we apply to your backend. Offline-first where needed. Store-release automated. Crash-rate budgeted. And a backend-for-frontend that's a mobile contract, not a repurposed web API.

Representative work

A sample of projects where this capability was load-bearing. We omit client names by default and share them under NDA when you want to dig into a specific engagement.

What we build

Six mobile workloads we take seriously.

A typical engagement is the app plus the BFF plus release tooling, not just the UI. We scope the exact mix during discovery.

/01

Native iOS apps.

Swift and SwiftUI, with UIKit when the case calls for it. Core Data or SwiftData where persistence matters, Combine or async/await for concurrency, and proper modularisation so large apps still build in under a minute.

/02

Native Android apps.

Kotlin with Jetpack Compose. Clean-architecture modules, Hilt for DI, Room for local data, coroutines and Flow for async, WorkManager for background jobs. Tested on real devices across the OEM and version matrix.

/03

React Native apps.

TypeScript React Native with the new architecture where appropriate, native modules for performance-critical paths, and a build pipeline that produces signed binaries your QA team can flash on day one.

/04

Flutter apps.

Dart and Flutter for teams that want a single codebase across iOS, Android, and sometimes web. Riverpod or Bloc for state, organised widget trees, and platform channels where native capability is needed.

/05

Mobile BFF and APIs.

A backend-for-frontend designed for mobile. Offline-first payloads, efficient pagination, versioned endpoints, and mobile-aware caching. Your web team shouldn't have to retrofit the mobile team's needs into a shared API.

/06

Release engineering and store ops.

Fastlane pipelines, signed builds, staged rollouts, crash-free-sessions SLOs, App Store and Play Store listing maintenance, phased review management, and the runbook for 'critical bug, ship a hotfix before Friday'.

Trusted by our clients

What partners
tell us.

Most clients renew for a second engagement. The ones who don't usually hire someone from our team to run the project in-house.

We are a mental health charity and not tech minded. We needed to improve our patient registration system but wanted a company that we can relate to. Hassan took the time to meet with me and patiently went through our process to find a personalised solution for us. Hassan's team did a great job streamlining our process and connected our registration system to our patient management software. Whenever we have a glitch, they resolve this quickly. Cloudini provides a personal and efficient service and we have adopted them to be our IT provider.

Tien Kuei

CEO · Power to Live Foundation

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Cloudini as a premier bespoke software development agency. Our journey with them has been nothing short of exemplary, far exceeding our initial expectations. While many agencies can develop based on strict specifications, Cloudini demonstrated an incredible commitment to our project that was truly unparalleled.

Robert McPherson

Managing Director · RBM Global Ltd

Dragonfly has been working with the team at Cloudini for several years now on building out our web-based platform and APIs. One of their strengths is quickly building out a multi-disciplinary team to work on the development and delivery of features with different technical requirements. Their support has allowed us to accelerate our development work without building an internal team. They have also worked seamlessly with other third parties both during the acquisition of Dragonfly and development of our mobile app. Cloudini has been instrumental in bringing our ideas to life and providing guidance to help us make the best technical decisions. I would recommend getting in touch with them if you're looking for support.

Rebecca Palser

COO · Dragonfly

Hassan and the Cloudini team have been indispensable partners as we rebuilt our client-facing applications into a single platform. As well as being exceptional technically, they consistently invest the time to understand the product and suggest how it can be enhanced and improved.

David Claridge

CEO · Dragonfly

Cloudini did some great work for Sainsbury's, bridging complex interactions between some older less flexible systems, some rigid vendor solutions and the new systems we were building. The software Cloudini developers wrote stood up well, long beyond the interim scope of it needing to work for 12-18m and was still in active use 5 years after its creation to good effect, since it was part of mission critical systems.
