Frequently Asked Questions About Mobile App Development
How much does it cost to develop a mobile app?
The cost of developing a mobile app typically ranges from ₹5 lakhs to ₹30 lakhs, depending on complexity, features, platforms, and design requirements. Simple apps with basic functionality may start around ₹5-8 lakhs, while complex enterprise solutions or apps with advanced features like AI, AR/VR, or complex backend systems can cost ₹15-30 lakhs or more. At Code 2 SEO, we provide transparent pricing based on detailed project requirements and offer flexible engagement models to accommodate various budget constraints.
How long does it take to develop a mobile app?
The timeline for mobile app development typically ranges from 3 to 9 months, depending on the complexity and scope of the project. A simple app with limited features might take 3-4 months, while a feature-rich application with complex backend integration could take 6-9 months or more. Our development process includes discovery and planning (2-4 weeks), design (3-6 weeks), development (6-16 weeks), testing (2-4 weeks), and deployment (1-2 weeks). We emphasize thorough planning and quality assurance to ensure on-time delivery without compromising on the app’s performance or user experience.
Should I develop for iOS, Android, or both platforms?
The choice between iOS, Android, or both platforms depends on your target audience, budget, and business goals. In India, Android holds about 95% market share, making it the dominant platform for reaching the broadest local audience. However, iOS users typically have higher spending power and engagement rates. If budget allows, we recommend a cross-platform approach using frameworks like React Native or Flutter, which allows you to develop for both platforms simultaneously while reducing costs by up to 30-40% compared to native development for each platform separately. We can help analyze your specific market demographics and business requirements to recommend the optimal platform strategy.
How do you ensure the security of mobile applications?
At Code 2 SEO, we implement multiple layers of security measures throughout the development process. This includes secure coding practices, data encryption (both in transit and at rest), secure authentication mechanisms (including biometric and multi-factor authentication where appropriate), regular security testing (including penetration testing and vulnerability assessments), and compliance with industry-specific regulations like GDPR or HIPAA when applicable. We also implement certificate pinning, secure API communication, and proactive monitoring systems to detect and respond to potential security threats. Additionally, we provide regular security updates post-launch to address emerging vulnerabilities and maintain the highest level of protection for your users’ data.
How do you handle app maintenance and updates after launch?
We offer comprehensive post-launch support and maintenance services to ensure your app remains current, secure, and high-performing. Our maintenance packages typically include regular OS compatibility updates, bug fixes, performance optimizations, security patches, and minor feature enhancements. We provide monitoring tools to track app performance, crash reports, and user behavior, allowing for data-driven maintenance decisions. For feature updates and major enhancements, we follow an agile development approach with planned release cycles. Our maintenance agreements offer flexible support levels, from basic technical support to dedicated development teams for continuous improvement, with clear SLAs for response and resolution times.
How do you integrate Search Engine Optimization into app development?
Our Search Engine Optimization Service for mobile apps operates on two fronts: App Store Optimization (ASO) and web presence optimization. For ASO, we conduct thorough keyword research to optimize app store listings, create compelling screenshots and videos, implement strategies for generating positive reviews, and regularly analyze performance metrics for continual improvements. For web presence, we develop SEO-optimized landing pages, implement deep linking strategies to improve app discoverability in web searches, create valuable content around your app’s functionality, and establish authoritative backlinks. Throughout development, we ensure your app follows technical SEO best practices, including proper indexing of app content, fast loading times, and mobile-friendly design principles that align with Google’s ranking factors.
