Existing product to mobile

Mobile app creation service for existing web products.

Convert a website to a mobile app or turn a website into a mobile app for iOS and Android without discarding the product, backend and behavior that already work.

Outcome

A maintainable app, not a disposable wrapper.

The engagement ends with owned source, reproducible signed builds, tested mobile journeys and a release path your team can repeat.

01

Architecture fit

We test the hardest mobile requirement and choose PWA, Capacitor, Expo, React Native or a focused native layer.

02

Mobile product pass

We adapt navigation, safe areas, keyboard behavior, deep links, permissions, failure states and device capabilities.

03

Store launch

We prepare signing, builds, privacy answers, listings, testing tracks and submissions for Apple and Google.

Our default is web plus Capacitor

For most responsive products, the fastest reliable path is to preserve the web application and add Capacitor. Web, iOS and Android share one source codebase, so feature work and maintenance remain cheaper than rebuilding the interface twice.

Capacitor does not block native capabilities. Push notifications, camera, files, deep links, biometrics, secure storage, geolocation, haptics and in-app purchases can use existing plugins. A focused Swift or Kotlin plugin can expose an app-specific SDK when no suitable plugin exists.

We recommend Expo, React Native or native development only when a verified requirement such as demanding gestures, sustained background execution, offline-first synchronization or deep platform UI justifies the second client.

See the detailed React vs React Native architecture guide and the mobile app builder comparison.

What the project covers

How the engagement works

  1. Release spike. We inspect the current product and prove the hardest mobile requirement before committing to an architecture.
  2. Mobile implementation. We package or implement the client, close mobile UX gaps and add only the native capabilities the outcome needs.
  3. Signed testing. We test the actual TestFlight and Google Play builds, not only browser preview or a simulator.
  4. Store submission. We complete the required listing, compliance and review path, then leave a reproducible release handoff.

Starting point and boundaries

A deployed web product, working AI-builder project or source repository is enough to start. The standard range assumes a responsive application and a limited native scope. Major product redesign, backend migration, complex offline sync and separate native clients are estimated after the $299 production-readiness audit.

Builder-specific paths are documented for Lovable, Base44, Bolt and Replit. If the app is already production-ready, use the App Store publishing service or Google Play publishing service instead.
