Native and cross-platform mobile applications for iOS and Android

What is mobile development? Mobile development covers the design and creation of applications for iOS and Android devices. With cross-platform technologies like React Native and Ionic, a single team develops for both platforms from one codebase, reducing time and costs without compromising quality and performance.

From prototyping to store publication, with React Native and Ionic

Who develops mobile apps in Italy? SparkFabrik is an Italian company based in Milan specialized in developing complex web and mobile applications. We build native apps with React Native and hybrid apps with Ionic for iOS and Android, using Agile methodologies and an end-to-end DevOps approach.

which designs and develops high-quality mobile applications, choosing the most suitable technology for each project’s specific needs.

Our experience in web and mobile development allows us to integrate the best development, testing, and deployment practices to deliver performant, secure, and market-ready apps.

With React Native and Ionic we cover both approaches: native and hybrid, from a single codebase for iOS and Android.

Whether you need an app built from scratch or revisions to an existing one, we carefully design your product by choosing the best market technologies.

  • Native Apps

    With React Native we create multi-platform native applications from a single codebase for iOS and Android, leveraging device features (camera, GPS, sensors, notifications) with native performance and look&feel.

  • Hybrid Apps

    With Ionic Framework we use HTML, CSS and JavaScript to create cross-platform mobile apps with a native-like experience. Capacitor plugins provide access to native device functions.

  • Full Lifecycle

    We manage the entire app lifecycle: from UX design to prototyping, from development to testing, from store publication to ongoing maintenance with a DevOps approach.

What we can do for you

MOBILE DEVELOPMENT WITH REACT NATIVE AND IONIC FOR iOS AND ANDROID

React Native combines the power and flexibility of React with all the advantages of native applications. It enables creating multi-platform native apps from a single codebase, with superior performance compared to hybrid solutions and an uncompromising user experience.

Ionic allows creating hybrid applications and Progressive Web Applications (PWA) by reusing existing web skills, with a single codebase for any platform.

The market context confirms the strategic relevance of this investment: according to Statista, mobile traffic accounts for over 60% of global web traffic, making mobile applications a strategic channel for every business.

Our Areas of Expertise in Mobile Development

We design and develop complex mobile applications with the best cross-platform technologies. From technology selection to store publication, we cover every aspect of mobile development.

React Native

High-performance cross-platform native apps

React Native leverages the power of React to create multi-platform native apps from a single codebase. Cross-platform by design: a single team maintains iOS and Android versions with superior performance compared to hybrid solutions and full access to native device APIs.

How we work

BY YOUR SIDE, FROM DISCOVERY TO STORE LAUNCH

An Agile and iterative process to design, develop and release your mobile app with quality and speed.

  • Discovery

    We analyze your needs, define functional requirements and design the user experience. We choose the most suitable technology (React Native or Ionic) based on performance, budget, and project goals.

  • Development

    We develop the app with Agile methodology and iterative sprints. A single team manages the cross-platform codebase for iOS and Android, with automated testing and continuous code reviews to ensure quality.

  • Launch

    We manage publication on App Store and Google Play, configure performance monitoring and activate ongoing support for updates, maintenance and app evolution.

A structured approach to bring your app from concept to market

Frequently Asked Questions about Mobile Development

  • Native apps developed with React Native offer optimal performance and full access to device features (camera, GPS, sensors, notifications). Hybrid apps developed with Ionic use HTML, CSS and JavaScript to create multi-platform applications with a native-like experience. The choice depends on your project's specific requirements.

  • React Native is a JavaScript framework created by Facebook in 2015 that allows you to create native apps using the same iOS and Android platform APIs. It offers power, flexibility and superior performance, with a single cross-platform codebase. It's ideal when you need high performance and full access to native device features.

  • Ionic is a framework for creating hybrid applications and Progressive Web Applications (PWA). It uses HTML, CSS and JavaScript and integrates with Angular, React and Vue. Thanks to Capacitor plugins it can access native device functions. It's ideal when you want to reuse existing web code or quickly develop an MVP.

  • Yes, with both approaches (React Native and Ionic) we develop multi-platform apps for iOS and Android from a single codebase. This allows a single team to maintain both versions, centralizing automated tools for development, testing and debugging.

  • With Ionic you can easily reuse work already done on prototypes, assets and web applications thanks to the use of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. With React Native too, if you already have React components on the web, you can leverage existing logic and patterns.

  • Using cross-platform technologies allows you to reduce development time and costs: a single team develops for both platforms. With Ionic in particular, tests are faster and simpler compared to a fully native application, reducing maintenance costs.

  • We support both scenarios: we can create a completely new app from scratch or work on existing apps with revisions, updates or technology migrations. With React Native you can also integrate the technology into existing Android and iOS projects.

  • We specialize in developing complex web and mobile applications. We carefully design your product by choosing the best market technologies based on your specific needs. We work with Agile methodologies and guarantee an end-to-end DevOps approach.
