What we do

Native and cross-platform mobile development that turns app downloads into retained, paying users.

Outsource Tel assembles dedicated mobile development teams for consumer and B2B applications — Swift on iOS, Kotlin on Android, and React Native or Flutter where shared code accelerates time-to-market. Every squad pairs senior mobile engineers with QA, DevOps and product design so you ship one cohesive release train, not three disconnected workstreams.

We handle the entire mobile app development lifecycle: discovery, design system, native or cross-platform architecture, secure API integration, offline-first state, in-app purchases, push and lifecycle messaging, App Store and Play Store submission, and post-launch growth instrumentation. Apps we ship target 4.7+ store ratings, sub-1% crash rates and meaningful D30 retention from day one.

Whether you are launching a greenfield consumer app, rewriting a hybrid legacy app for native performance, or scaling a mature mobile product with growth experiments, we hire and embed the right squad — and keep them with you, with 91% annual retention.

FAQs

Answers to what buyers actually ask.

Procurement, engineering and finance leaders raise the same questions before signing. Here are ours, answered up front.

Should we build native iOS/Android or use React Native / Flutter?
+

It depends on UX ambition, animation/graphics complexity and team economics. We run a one-week architecture review to recommend native, cross-platform or a hybrid strategy backed by hard trade-offs — never religion.

How long does it take to launch a mobile app?
+

A focused MVP typically reaches the App Store and Play Store in 12–16 weeks. Larger products with backend and integrations land in 4–6 months. We commit to a milestone plan after a 60-minute scoping call.

Can you handle App Store and Play Store submission and reviews?
+

Yes. We own the entire submission process — listings, screenshots, review responses, expedited reviews and policy escalations — so your launch isn't held up by store bureaucracy.

Do you support post-launch growth and ASO?
+

Yes. Growth pods cover analytics instrumentation, A/B testing, push and in-app messaging, and App Store Optimisation — measured against activation, retention and LTV, not vanity downloads.

Who owns the source code and the App Store accounts?
+

You do. Source, design files, store accounts and signing certificates are yours from day one. We work inside your accounts wherever possible.
