Custom mobile apps for Android and iOS — built for your business, not a generic template.

Android और iOS के लिए कस्टम मोबाइल ऐप — आपके बिज़नेस के लिए बना, कोई जेनेरिक टेम्पलेट नहीं।

Android మరియు iOS కోసం కస్టమ్ మొబైల్ యాప్లు — మీ వ్యాపారం కోసం నిర్మించబడింది, జెనెరిక్ టెంప్లేట్ కాదు.

A mobile app is not always the right answer — but when it is, we build it properly. Using Flutter, we deliver a single codebase that runs natively on both Android and iOS, connected to your existing backend or a new one we build alongside it.

The problem

Most Indian businesses either over-invest in apps they don't need or under-build apps that don't work.

  • Separate Android and iOS builds double the cost and maintenance burden
  • Apps built on no-code platforms hit feature ceilings within 6 months
  • No backend — the app is a UI with no real data or logic behind it
  • Poor offline support — the app is useless when the internet drops
  • No Play Store or App Store submission experience — the app never goes live
  • Staff apps with no role-based access — everyone sees everything
What we build differently

One Flutter codebase. Real backend. Deployed on both stores.

  • Flutter cross-platform build — one codebase for Android and iOS
  • Connected to a real REST API backend — PHP, Python, or new build
  • Role-based access: customers, staff, managers, admins see different views
  • Offline-capable architecture for apps used in low-connectivity environments
  • Full Play Store and App Store submission handled by us
  • Push notifications, real-time updates, and payment integration included where needed
Types of apps we build

Six types of mobile apps we regularly deliver for Indian businesses.

Customer App

Customer-facing business apps

For businesses that want to give customers a branded app experience — ordering, booking, loyalty tracking, account management, and direct communication. Replaces or complements your website for customers who prefer app-based interaction.

  • Product or service catalogue with ordering and cart
  • Booking system with appointment slots and reminders
  • Push notifications for offers, updates, and order status
  • Loyalty points, membership, and referral features
Staff App

Staff and field operations apps

For businesses with field staff, delivery teams, technicians, or remote workers who need to log tasks, update job statuses, capture data, or access information on their phones without sitting at a desktop. Replaces WhatsApp-based coordination with a structured workflow tool.

  • Job assignment, acceptance, and status update flows
  • Photo capture, signature collection, and checklist completion
  • GPS location tracking and route logging
  • Real-time sync with manager dashboard on web
Delivery App

Delivery and logistics apps

For restaurants, e-commerce businesses, and service companies with delivery operations. A delivery partner app connected to your order management system — with live order assignment, route optimisation, delivery confirmation, and customer notifications.

  • Live order queue with accept/reject and pickup confirmation
  • Google Maps integration for route and navigation
  • Delivery proof — OTP or photo confirmation
  • Earnings tracker and payout summary for delivery partners
Software Companion

Mobile companion for existing software

For businesses that already have a web-based admin panel or operations system and want mobile access for managers or staff. We build a Flutter app that connects to the existing REST API backend — no duplicate logic, just a native mobile interface over your existing system.

  • Connects directly to your existing PHP or Python backend via REST API
  • Role-specific views: managers see dashboards, staff see tasks
  • Offline data caching for use in low-connectivity areas
  • Push notifications for alerts, approvals, and status changes
E-commerce App

Mobile shopping and marketplace apps

For retail businesses, D2C brands, and marketplaces that want a native mobile shopping experience. Faster than a mobile website, with better engagement, push notification capabilities, and a checkout flow optimised for mobile UPI and card payments.

  • Product catalogue, search, filters, and wishlist
  • Cart, checkout, and Razorpay / UPI payment integration
  • Order tracking, returns, and customer account management
  • Seller dashboard (for marketplace models)
Offline / AI App

Offline-capable and AI-powered apps

For use cases where internet connectivity cannot be guaranteed — field inspections, rural operations, healthcare in remote areas — or where local AI inference is needed on the device. We build Flutter apps with SQLite-based offline storage and local LLM integration where required.

  • Full offline functionality with background sync when connectivity returns
  • Local SQLite database for data captured without internet
  • On-device AI assistant integration (Ollama, GGUF models)
  • Background sync queue with conflict resolution
Technology

Flutter-first, API-connected, production-ready.

We build exclusively with Flutter for cross-platform mobile development — one codebase, two stores, consistent experience. Here is the full stack behind every app we deliver.

Flutter (Dart)

Google's cross-platform framework. One codebase runs on Android and iOS with native performance, smooth animations, and platform-specific behaviour where needed.

REST API Backend

All apps connect to a REST API — either your existing backend or one we build in PHP or Python. Clean JSON communication, JWT authentication, and versioned endpoints.

Firebase

Push notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging, optional real-time database sync, crash analytics, and app performance monitoring — all integrated as needed per project.

Razorpay / UPI

In-app payment integration via Razorpay SDK — supporting UPI, cards, net banking, and wallets. One-time and subscription billing both supported.

Google Maps SDK

Live location tracking, route display, delivery navigation, geofencing, and place search — integrated natively into Flutter via the Google Maps SDK for Flutter.

SQLite / Hive

Local on-device storage for offline-capable apps. Data captured without connectivity is queued and synced automatically when the connection is restored.

How we work

How a mobile app project runs at MyCityBiz.

Mobile app projects have more moving parts than websites — backend API, app build, store submissions, and device testing. Here is exactly how we manage it.

1

Scoping & User Flow Mapping

Scoping और User Flow Mapping

Scoping & User Flow Mapping

We map every screen and user flow in the app before designing or building anything — who uses the app, what they do on each screen, what data is captured, and what the backend needs to support. This prevents costly changes mid-build.

2

API Design & Backend Setup

API Design और Backend Setup

API Design & Backend Setup

We design and document all API endpoints the app will consume before Flutter development begins. If the backend does not exist, we build it first. If it does, we audit existing endpoints and add any the app needs.

3

UI Design & Screen Approval

UI Design और Screen Approval

UI Design & Screen Approval

We design all key screens — onboarding, home, core function screens, and settings — and present them for your review and approval before Flutter development starts. You approve the look and feel before a single line of app code is written.

4

Flutter Development (Milestone-based)

Flutter Development (Milestone-based)

Flutter Development (Milestone-based)

We build in milestones — authentication and core screens first, then primary features, then integrations (payments, maps, notifications). You receive a testable APK at each milestone so you can test on real devices throughout the process, not only at the end.

5

Device Testing & QA

Device Testing और QA

Device Testing & QA

We test across a range of Android devices and screen sizes, and on iOS via TestFlight. We check all user flows, edge cases, offline behaviour, and performance on lower-end devices — which is where most Indian users are.

6

Store Submission & Handover

Store Submission और Handover

Store Submission & Handover

We handle Google Play Store and Apple App Store submission — app listing, screenshots, descriptions, privacy policy, and compliance review. You receive full source code, build files, and store account credentials on final delivery.

FAQ

Common questions about mobile app projects.

Flutter gives you a single codebase that compiles to native code for both Android and iOS — meaning one development cost instead of two. Performance is near-native, UI is fully custom, and the same developer can maintain both platforms. For Indian businesses, where Android dominates but iOS cannot be ignored, Flutter is the most cost-effective professional choice. We do not use React Native or no-code platforms — Flutter gives us full control over performance and UI quality.

Flutter एक single codebase देता है जो Android और iOS दोनों के लिए native code में compile होता है — यानी दो की जगह एक development cost. Performance near-native होती है, UI पूरी तरह custom होता है, और वही developer दोनों platforms maintain कर सकता है। Indian businesses के लिए, जहाँ Android dominant है लेकिन iOS को ignore नहीं किया जा सकता, Flutter सबसे cost-effective professional choice है। हम React Native या no-code platforms इस्तेमाल नहीं करते — Flutter हमें performance और UI quality पर पूरा control देता है।

Flutter ఒకే codebase‌ను అందిస్తుంది, అది Android మరియు iOS రెండింటికీ native code‌గా compile అవుతుంది — అంటే రెండు development costs స్థానంలో ఒకటే. Performance near-native‌గా ఉంటుంది, UI పూర్తిగా custom‌గా ఉంటుంది, ఒకే developer రెండు platforms‌ను maintain చేయగలడు. భారతీయ వ్యాపారాల్లో Android ఆధిక్యంలో ఉన్నప్పటికీ iOS‌ను విస్మరించలేము, కాబట్టి Flutter అత్యంత cost-effective professional choice. మేము React Native లేదా no-code platforms ఉపయోగించము — Flutter వల్ల performance మరియు UI quality‌పై పూర్తి control ఉంటుంది.

Both. If you already have a website or web software with a REST API backend, we connect the Flutter app directly to it — no duplicate logic, just a native mobile interface over your existing system. If you do not have a backend, we build one alongside the app — typically in PHP with MySQL, or Python if the app requires data processing or AI features. The backend cost is included in our project quotes.

दोनों संभव हैं। अगर आपके पास पहले से website या web software है जिसमें REST API backend है, तो हम Flutter app को सीधे उससे connect करते हैं — duplicate logic नहीं, बस आपके existing system पर native mobile interface. अगर backend नहीं है, तो हम app के साथ नया backend बनाते हैं — आमतौर पर PHP + MySQL में, या Python में यदि app को data processing या AI features चाहिए। Backend cost हमारे project quotes में शामिल होती है।

రెండూ సాధ్యమే. మీ వద్ద ఇప్పటికే REST API backend ఉన్న website లేదా web software ఉంటే, Flutter app‌ను దానికే నేరుగా connect చేస్తాము — duplicate logic అవసరం లేదు, మీ existing system‌పై native mobile interface మాత్రమే ఉంటుంది. Backend లేకపోతే app‌తో పాటు మేమే backend నిర్మిస్తాము — సాధారణంగా PHP + MySQL‌లో, లేదా app‌కు data processing లేదా AI features అవసరమైతే Python‌లో. Backend cost మా project quotes‌లో భాగంగా ఉంటుంది.

We handle the entire submission process for both stores. For Google Play, you need a Google Play Developer account (one-time $25 registration). For Apple App Store, you need an Apple Developer account (₹8,000/year). We prepare all store assets — screenshots, descriptions, privacy policy, and app categorisation — and submit on your behalf. Google Play review typically takes 1–7 days; Apple App Store review takes 1–3 days. Both accounts remain in your ownership.

हम दोनों stores के लिए पूरा submission process handle करते हैं। Google Play के लिए Google Play Developer account चाहिए (one-time $25 registration). Apple App Store के लिए Apple Developer account चाहिए (₹8,000/वर्ष). हम screenshots, descriptions, privacy policy, और app categorisation सहित सभी store assets तैयार करके आपकी ओर से submit करते हैं। Google Play review आमतौर पर 1–7 दिन लेता है; Apple App Store review 1–3 दिन लेता है। दोनों accounts आपके ही ownership में रहते हैं।

రెండు stores‌కు సంబంధించిన మొత్తం submission process‌ను మేమే handle చేస్తాము. Google Play కోసం Google Play Developer account అవసరం (one-time $25 registration). Apple App Store కోసం Apple Developer account అవసరం (₹8,000/సంవత్సరం). Screenshots, descriptions, privacy policy, app categorisation వంటి store assets అన్నీ మేమే సిద్ధం చేసి మీ తరఫున submit చేస్తాము. Google Play review సాధారణంగా 1–7 రోజులు పడుతుంది; Apple App Store review 1–3 రోజులు పడుతుంది. రెండు accounts కూడా మీ ownership‌లోనే ఉంటాయి.

Yes, for use cases that require it. We build offline-capable apps using SQLite or Hive for local on-device storage. When there is no internet, the app continues to function and captures data locally. When connectivity is restored, the app syncs with the server automatically. This is particularly important for field staff apps, delivery apps in rural areas, and data collection apps. Offline capability is an add-on that adds complexity and cost, so we scope it only when genuinely needed.

हाँ, जहाँ इसकी जरूरत होती है वहाँ app internet के बिना भी काम कर सकता है। हम local on-device storage के लिए SQLite या Hive का उपयोग करके offline-capable apps बनाते हैं। Internet न होने पर भी app चलता रहता है और data locally capture करता है। Connectivity वापस आने पर app automatically server से sync हो जाता है। यह field staff apps, rural delivery apps, और data collection apps के लिए खास तौर पर महत्वपूर्ण है। Offline capability एक add-on है जो complexity और cost बढ़ाता है, इसलिए हम इसे केवल तभी scope करते हैं जब इसकी वास्तव में जरूरत हो।

అవును, అవసరమైన use cases‌లో app internet లేకుండానే పని చేయగలదు. Local on-device storage కోసం SQLite లేదా Hive ఉపయోగించి offline-capable apps‌ను మేము నిర్మిస్తాము. Internet లేకపోయినా app పని చేస్తుంది మరియు data‌ను locally capture చేస్తుంది. Connectivity తిరిగి వచ్చిన వెంటనే app ఆటోమేటిక్‌గా server‌తో sync అవుతుంది. ఇది field staff apps, గ్రామీణ delivery apps, data collection apps‌కు చాలా ముఖ్యమైనది. Offline capability అనేది complexity మరియు cost పెంచే add-on కాబట్టి, నిజంగా అవసరమైనప్పుడే దానిని scope చేస్తాము.

Yes. Upon full payment you receive the complete Flutter source code, backend source code, database schema, build configuration files, and all store credentials. You are not locked into MyCityBiz for future updates — any Flutter developer can take the project forward. We do offer ongoing maintenance, new feature additions, and retainer support, but these are entirely optional.

हाँ। Full payment के बाद आपको पूरा Flutter source code, backend source code, database schema, build configuration files, और सभी store credentials दिए जाते हैं। Future updates के लिए आप MyCityBiz पर locked नहीं रहते — कोई भी Flutter developer project को आगे बढ़ा सकता है। हम ongoing maintenance, नए features, और retainer support देते हैं, लेकिन यह पूरी तरह optional है।

అవును. Full payment అనంతరం మీకు పూర్తి Flutter source code, backend source code, database schema, build configuration files, మరియు అన్ని store credentials అందిస్తాము. Future updates కోసం మీరు MyCityBiz‌కే పరిమితం కావాల్సిన అవసరం లేదు — ఏ Flutter developer అయినా project‌ను ముందుకు తీసుకెళ్లగలడు. మేము ongoing maintenance, కొత్త features, retainer support అందిస్తాము, కానీ అవి పూర్తిగా optional.

Post-launch updates — bug fixes, new features, UI changes — are handled as a separate engagement on a per-request or monthly retainer basis. Each update requires a new build and a new store submission, which we manage. For apps where backend data changes (prices, menus, catalogue) we always build a web-based admin panel so those updates can be made without a new app release.

Post-launch updates — bug fixes, new features, UI changes — अलग engagement के रूप में per-request या monthly retainer basis पर handle किए जाते हैं। हर update के लिए नया build और नई store submission चाहिए होती है, जिसे हम manage करते हैं। जिन apps में backend data बदलता रहता है (prices, menus, catalogue), उनमें हम हमेशा web-based admin panel बनाते हैं ताकि उन updates के लिए हर बार नया app release न करना पड़े।

Post-launch updates — bug fixes, new features, UI changes — వేరు engagement‌గా per-request లేదా monthly retainer basis‌పై handle చేయబడతాయి. ప్రతి update‌కు కొత్త build మరియు కొత్త store submission అవసరం, దాన్ని మేమే manage చేస్తాము. Backend data మారుతూ ఉండే apps‌లో (prices, menus, catalogue) ప్రతి సారి కొత్త app release అవసరం లేకుండా ఉండేందుకు మేము ఎప్పుడూ web-based admin panel‌ను నిర్మిస్తాము.

Often combined with

Services that pair well with a mobile app.

Business Software

Most apps need a web-based admin panel behind them. We build the backend operations software and the mobile app together — sharing the same database and API layer.

AI Integration

Add an AI assistant, document scanner, or offline LLM directly inside your mobile app — for customer support, on-device data processing, or intelligent search.

Automations

Connect app events — new orders, registrations, payments — to automatic WhatsApp notifications, CRM entries, and follow-up sequences without manual handling.

SEO & Marketing

App Store Optimisation (ASO) and Google Ads app campaigns to drive installs — because a great app that nobody finds still does not grow your business.
