Mobile App Development in Chennai & India

Landessware builds cross-platform (Flutter) and native (iOS, Android) mobile apps for startups, SMEs, and enterprises across India. From idea-stage prototypes to production apps with millions of installs — we cover the full product lifecycle.

Most mobile app agencies ship v1 and disappear. That’s a bad deal for founders — the hard part of mobile isn’t building v1, it’s iterating on the thing after real users start hitting it, keeping the codebase upgradeable across OS versions, and maintaining backward compatibility as the API evolves.

Landessware builds mobile apps as part of longer product engagements. We scope the product, build v1, ship to stores, iterate on real usage data, and stay on for as long as the client wants us. Our internal products (Lander Books, HECE, FilmiCall) run on the same stack and engineering discipline we bring to client work.

What we build on mobile

Cross-platform first, native when it matters.

Flutter (iOS + Android)

Single codebase, native performance. Our default for most projects where fast shipping and a consistent UX matter.

Native iOS (Swift)

When iOS-specific features or deep platform integration matter — HealthKit, CallKit, PencilKit, StoreKit 2.

Native Android (Kotlin)

When you need deep Android platform integration — Jetpack Compose, Android-specific hardware APIs.

Backend APIs (Python/Node)

We build the backend to match — Django REST Framework, FastAPI, or Node.js/TypeScript — with proper auth, async jobs, and observability.

Auth and payments

Firebase Auth, Auth0, custom SSO; Stripe, Razorpay, UPI integrations. Done right the first time.

App Store & Play Store ship

We handle the full submission process — certificates, provisioning, store listings, privacy declarations, and review cycle.

Who we build mobile apps for

  • Startups at idea or MVP stage who need a technical partner, not just a contractor — we’ll tell you what to cut to ship faster
  • SMEs digitising internal workflows that would benefit from a mobile-first tool (field sales, inventory, delivery, service teams)
  • Enterprises needing companion apps for their existing web products
  • Our own ERP/custom-software clients who need mobile apps paired with their Odoo, ERPNext, or bespoke backend
  • Existing products needing a rescue — unfinished builds, abandoned agencies, codebases that need stabilisation before feature work resumes

Typical engagement shape

  1. Discovery (1–2 weeks): scope the product, wireframe the MVP, confirm tech choices, hard-cost estimate.
  2. Design (2–4 weeks): Figma designs, component library, key flows prototyped.
  3. Build (8–16 weeks for MVP): Flutter app, backend API, Firebase/Supabase for auth and real-time, CI/CD pipeline to TestFlight and Play Internal Testing.
  4. Beta and launch (2–3 weeks): Closed beta, feedback iteration, App Store / Play Store submission.
  5. Post-launch iteration and AMC: feature work, platform-version upgrades, observability, crash fix rotation. Ongoing for as long as the client wants.

Engagement models

  • Fixed-price MVP for well-scoped v1 builds with clear acceptance criteria
  • Time-and-materials for discovery, open-ended iteration, and post-launch work
  • Dedicated team for clients who want 1–4 engineers embedded long-term
  • AMC for maintenance and minor feature work after go-live

Mobile app development — common questions

Flutter produces better performance on both iOS and Android with a single codebase, and the tooling (DevTools, hot reload) is significantly better. React Native is still fine — we’ll use it if a client’s team already runs React Native in production.

It depends heavily on scope. Simple MVPs (auth, a few core flows, a handful of API endpoints) land in the ₹8–15 lakh range. Feature-rich products with real-time, payments, complex backend land higher. We give a hard-cost estimate after a 1–2 week discovery phase.

Yes — we’re happy to integrate with whatever backend you have. We also build backends in Python (Django/FastAPI) or Node.js/TypeScript if you need one.

Yes — certificates, provisioning, store listings, privacy declarations, review cycle. We’ve shipped to both stores dozens of times and know the usual rejection reasons.

Yes. AMC covers platform-version upgrades (iOS 17, Android 14 etc.), bug fixes, minor features, and observability. Most clients stay on AMC for years.

Yes, Chennai-based. We work with clients across India and internationally (UAE, Thailand, Malaysia, USA). Remote-first engagement with occasional in-person visits for India-based clients.
