The team behind your London mobile app
Product strategists, mobile designers and senior iOS and Android engineers, all on one accountable squad.
The London mobile app development partner that ships to the App Store and Google Play.
London is part of Europe's largest mobile-first market, where Monzo, Revolut, Bumble, Citymapper and Deliveroo all built their flagship iOS and Android apps. To win the home-screen here you need an app that loads fast, looks native, survives App Store review, and scales as your install base grows. That's exactly what Dafe Software builds.
Launch in 8 to 16 weeks
Your London mobile app goes from kickoff to App Store UK & Google Play UK in one quarter or two, depending on whether you choose native or cross-platform.
One accountable squad
A senior PM, mobile designer and 2 to 4 iOS and Android engineers focused exclusively on your build. No agency hand-offs, no junior bait-and-switch.
App Store-ready code
Tested, instrumented, CI/CD-ready code that passes Apple and Google review the first time, with crash-free release tracks and rollback plans.
Investor-ready
We harden your London mobile app for the next round, with analytics, retention dashboards and a credible scaling story for App Store and Google Play growth.
Mobile-grade security
Biometric auth, secure enclave storage, certificate pinning and United Kingdom-specific compliance baked into every release, not bolted on later.
Fixed-scope contracts
Transparent pricing, milestone-based payments and full source-code and IP ownership transferred to you.
From idea to App Store in four sprints
A proven, repeatable mobile-delivery process refined across 50+ shipped iOS and Android apps. The same playbook we'll run on your London build.
Discovery & platform pick
Founder interviews, London market validation, a native-vs-cross-platform recommendation and a fixed-price proposal in one week.
Mobile UX & prototyping
Mobile flows, native-feel wireframes and a clickable Figma prototype your stakeholders and TestFlight beta testers can actually use.
iOS & Android sprints
Weekly TestFlight and internal-track Google Play builds, transparent Linear/Jira boards and reviewable code from sprint one.
App Store launch & iterate
Submission to App Store UK & Google Play UK, ASO setup, analytics wiring, crash monitoring and a 30-day post-launch warranty.

Mobile app development in London: common questions
Do you build native iOS and Android apps for London startups?+
Yes. We deliver both fully native (Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin/Jetpack Compose) and cross-platform (Flutter, React Native) apps for London-based founders, fintechs and enterprise teams.
Will my app pass Apple App Store and Google Play UK review?+
Yes. Every mobile app we ship goes through a pre-submission review covering Apple Human Interface Guidelines, Google Play policies, GDPR consent flows and the ICO's age-appropriate design code.
Can you integrate with UK Open Banking and payment rails?+
Yes. We integrate Truelayer, TrueLayer Payments, Stripe UK, GoCardless and FCA-authorised PSD2 providers directly into mobile flows, with biometric auth and secure enclave storage.
