APP DEVELOPMENT

Apps people
actually
use.

RockPaper Runway builds iOS and Android apps, native or cross-platform, from the first MVP to release on the App Store and Google Play. Our work includes the mobile apps for a meal-kit delivery platform.

Built for
the phone.

We start from what customers must get done in a few taps, then build the smallest app that does it well. Accounts, payments, notifications and the admin behind the app are planned from day one, so the first release grows instead of being rebuilt.

Both stores,
one team.

Design, iOS, Android, backend and store release from one team. You test real builds on your own phone throughout, and we take the app through App Store and Google Play review.

What we build

01iOS

iPhone & iPad apps

Apps built for iOS from the first screen to App Store approval, following Apple's guidelines so review goes smoothly.

02Android

Android apps

Apps for Android phones and tablets, tested across screen sizes and released on Google Play.

03Cross-platform

One codebase, both stores

Cross-platform apps with React Native when one codebase for iOS and Android is the faster, cheaper route; native where the app needs it.

04Commerce

Ordering & subscriptions

Menus and catalogues, carts, checkout, recurring orders and subscriptions customers can pause, skip or change in the app.

05Engagement

Accounts & notifications

Sign-up and login, saved preferences, order history and push notifications that bring customers back at the right moment.

06Operations

Backend & admin

The API, database and admin tools behind the app, so your team can manage products, orders and customers day to day.

How we work

From idea to an app on your customers' phones.

01

Discovery

Who the users are, what they must get done, and what the first release has to include.

02

Roadmap

Milestones, estimates and the architecture: data model, roles, integrations.

03

Build in sprints

Test builds on your own iPhone and Android phone every week.

04

Test

Automated tests, manual QA and permission checks before anything reaches users.

05

Launch & grow

App Store and Google Play release, crash monitoring, then the next features from real usage.

CASE STUDY ยท FOOD DELIVERY

Meal-kit delivery
app.

We built the iOS and Android apps for a meal-kit delivery platform. Customers browse the menu, order, and manage their subscription and deliveries from their phone, with the subscription flow and the admin behind it built by the same team.

iOS and Android

Released on the App Store and Google Play.

Subscriptions in the app

Customers manage their plan and deliveries themselves.

One team end to end

App development: questions buyers ask

Do you build mobile apps for iOS and Android?

Yes. RockPaper Runway builds iOS and Android apps, native or cross-platform with React Native, from MVP to release on the App Store and Google Play.

What apps have you built?

The iOS and Android apps for a meal-kit delivery platform: customers browse the menu, order, and manage their subscription and deliveries from their phone.

Native or cross-platform: which should I choose?

Cross-platform (React Native) when you want one codebase for both stores and a faster launch; native when the app depends heavily on device features or platform-specific performance. We recommend one after discovery.

Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?

Yes. We prepare the store listings, builds and review requirements and take the app through approval on both stores.

How does a project start?

With a discovery call to agree the first release, then a roadmap with milestones and estimates. You get test builds on your own phone throughout, not only at the end.
