You may already own most of your app.
If your business runs on a Laravel platform, NativePHP can package it into real iOS and Android apps with push notifications and offline support, without rebuilding your logic twice in two more languages. When that is not the right fit, we build native from scratch.
Sports Scenarios shipped a native app and a Roblox game with us. Every QikCMS site can become an app as a built in feature.
You are probably here because one of these is true.
You need push notifications
Email gets ignored and texts cost money per message. A push notification is free, instant, and lands on the lock screen.
Your users work in the field
Crews on a roof, a route, or a shop floor need something that opens in one tap and works when signal drops.
An app store listing is the point
Sometimes the business case is credibility and discovery. Being findable in the store is the deliverable.
You were quoted two builds
One agency for iOS, another for Android, and a third codebase to keep in sync with your website forever.
Your web app already works
The logic, the database, and the screens exist. Rebuilding all of it in Swift and Kotlin would be paying twice for the same thing.
You need the device itself
Camera, barcode scanning, location, or local storage. A browser tab cannot reach far enough for those.
Package what you have, or build native.
NativePHP
Most common. Typically 4 to 10 weeks.
We package your existing Laravel platform into real iOS and Android apps. One codebase stays the source of truth, so a feature you ship on the web is in the app too.
-
Far cheaper than two native builds
-
Push notifications through Firebase
-
Camera, location, and offline handling
-
One codebase to maintain, not three
-
Built in for every QikCMS site
Fully native build
When it is warranted. Typically 3 to 6 months.
For apps where the experience is the product: heavy animation, constant background activity, deep hardware use, or performance demands a wrapper cannot meet.
-
Full platform performance and polish
-
Deep hardware and background access
-
Platform specific interface conventions
-
You own the code and the roadmap
-
Worth it when the app is the business
Including the parts nobody warns you about.
App store submission
Developer accounts, certificates, provisioning, listing copy, screenshots, and review responses for both stores.
Push notifications
Firebase Cloud Messaging set up properly, with segmentation so you are not notifying everyone about everything.
Authentication
Sign in that shares sessions with your web platform, plus biometrics and Sign in with Apple where required.
Offline behavior
Deciding what works without signal and what syncs when it returns, so the app is not a blank screen in a basement.
In app purchases
Store billing where the platforms require it, and Stripe where they do not, without getting your listing rejected.
Releases and updates
Versioning, staged rollouts, crash reporting, and a pipeline so shipping an update is routine rather than an event.
Shipped and in the stores.
Sports Scenarios
App and Roblox. Built and launched a native mobile app and a Roblox game with us, taking one content product into two very different channels.
Every QikCMS site
Built in. Any of the 250+ sites on our platform can be turned into a native app, because the capability is part of the product rather than a separate project.
QikCheckout
Restaurant apps. Restaurants on QikCheckout can ship a branded ordering app with push notifications for specials and order status.
Mobile app development, answered.
It lets a Laravel application ship as a real iOS and Android app rather than only as a website. Your existing code stays the source of truth, and the app gets a store listing, an icon on the home screen, push notifications, and access to the device. It is not a bookmark to your website.
For most business apps, no, and users will not be able to tell. For games, heavy animation, or constant background processing, native is genuinely better and we will say so. The question is what your app does, not which approach sounds more impressive.
Quoted per project after the mapping phase. Packaging an existing Laravel platform with NativePHP costs a fraction of two ground up native builds, because the logic already exists. Budget separately for Apple and Google developer accounts, which are paid directly to them.
Yes, including certificates, provisioning, listing copy, screenshots, and responding to review feedback. Rejections happen to everyone and we work through them rather than handing you a ticket number.
Apple rejects apps that are just a wrapped website with no app specific value. That is why we build in push notifications, device features, and an interface designed for a phone. Review requirements change, so we keep current with them rather than assuming last year's rules.
You do. The listings live under your own Apple and Google accounts so your business owns the ratings, the reviews, and the install base. We will set them up for you, but they are yours from day one.
Tell us what the app has to do.
-
Response time - one business day, from a developer
-
First call - a working session, not a sales pitch
-
Deliverable - scope, budget, and timeline before code
Often built alongside an app.
CMS and web platforms
Build the platform first, then ship it to the stores from the same codebase.
Custom CRM
Put assignments and customer records in a field crew's pocket with push alerts.
Roblox game development
Reaching a younger audience often means both an app and a Roblox experience.
