React Native app development for iOS and Android

React Native for iOS and Android

React Native fits when you want one team and one codebase for two stores. I take on a new app, or I finish and extend one you already have. That includes bug fixes and new features.

I need to be clear about the limits: I build store apps with React Native. I do not build native Swift, Kotlin or Java apps. If you need those, I am not the right person.

NativePress: WordPress to a real native app

NativePress is a WordPress plugin plus an Expo / React Native app. The plugin exposes its own REST namespace, nativepress/v1, which serves lightweight Markdown instead of the heavy default wp/v2 output. The app then draws that content with native components.

• Your WordPress stays the source of truth. You keep publishing as you do today.
• iOS and Android from the same app.
• Sold as a subscription: a monthly plan plus a one-time setup fee. Ask for a quote.

The demo shows a mock-up with sample content, not a live customer app. Read the NativePress case study for the full picture, or the WordPress side if the plugin is what you need first.

Convoy: a group travel app

Convoy is a group app for people travelling together. It runs as a web app that installs on the home screen (PWA), and it shows what I build for real-time use:

• A live map with the whole crew
• Group chat
• SOS alert
• Invite by code or QR, with no sign-up for the crew
• Leader and Sweep roles, rally points and a driving mode
• A view-only link for family

Positions are kept in server memory only. The demo uses made-up crews and scripted fake GPS on a tourist route, with no real people or positions. See the Convoy case study or the demo page.

Store release help

I prepare your app for submission to the App Store and Google Play. That means the build and the release steps. Apple and Google decide approval. I cannot promise it and I do not promise downloads either. Your developer accounts stay yours.

Backend and API

Most apps need a server. I write the API in Node.js or in vanilla PHP when you want the lightest server, add sign-in, and set up real-time features when the app needs them. I document the API the way I document real ones: see the Sample Orders API for the style. More on this at real-time backend development.
