Mobile App Development

Mobile app development at Golden Code means turning your idea into a real app on Google Play and the App Store, with a web dashboard to manage users, orders, content and notifications. We build the app from one codebase that runs on Android and iOS, which saves roughly half the cost and time of building two separate apps, without users noticing any difference in speed or look.

One example is Ezhalha in Saudi Arabia, which combines instant driver booking with price negotiation, alongside a driver app and an admin dashboard.

When do you need an app and not just a website?

Not every business needs an app. We recommend one when users come back often (repeat orders, bookings, status tracking), when you need phone features such as location, the camera and notifications, or when loyalty and direct contact with customers are central to your business model. If a good website is enough for you, we will say so plainly and save you the cost.

The apps we build

• Ordering, delivery and ride apps: a customer app and a courier or driver app, live map tracking and online payment.
• Booking and appointment apps: for clinics, salons, sports venues and training centres, with notification reminders.
• Store apps: a mobile version of your shop, connected to the same stock and orders.
• Education and community apps: courses, content, memberships and subscriptions.
• Internal company apps: tracking staff, tasks and field visits.

The technologies we use

We build apps with React Native or Flutter depending on the project, the back-end and dashboard with Laravel, and Firebase for push notifications. One codebase means every update reaches Android and iOS users at the same time, and that maintaining the app later is easier and cheaper.

Design before code

Before any code is written we design the app's screens and the full user journey, from sign-up to a completed order. You try the interactive prototype on your phone and change what you want, and only after you approve it do we start building. This saves you expensive changes later. See our UI/UX design service for this stage.

Publishing on the stores

We prepare the app for Google Play and the App Store: icons, store screenshots, the description and the privacy policy, and we follow the review until it is approved. The app is published on your own developer account, so it stays fully yours.

Security and performance

We protect user data with encrypted connections to the server, secure sign-in and clear permissions in the dashboard. We test the app on real devices of different sizes and versions, and make sure it works smoothly on a weak connection.

After launch

We monitor the app after release, fix any issue that appears during the warranty period, and update it for each new Android and iOS version as part of the maintenance plan. We can add new features in stages based on user feedback.

Why choose Golden Code for your app?

• One team for the app, the back-end and the dashboard: you do not juggle different companies, and responsibility never gets lost when something breaks.
• A smart first version: we help you launch the most important features first to test your idea in the market at the lowest cost, then add the rest in stages.
• Full ownership: the source code, store accounts and servers are in your name from day one, so you are never locked in.
• Clear communication: a test build after every stage, and direct contact with the developer responsible for your app.

How much does a mobile app cost?

An Android and iOS app with its dashboard starts from EGP 50,000. The cost rises with the number of user types (customer, courier, admin), online payment, maps and integrations with other systems.
