White-Label & Direct App Development
India-Based Team, Direct Communication
iOS · Android · Flutter
Mobile app development is the design, build, and ongoing support of a native or cross-platform application for iOS and Android — from UI/UX design and backend integration through app store submission. Amla Software builds iOS, Android, and Flutter apps for African SMEs, and delivers the same builds white-label for IT firms outsourcing app development to our India-based team.
What’s Included
Every mobile app engagement covers the full build — design, development, and what happens after launch — whether you’re a direct client or an IT firm reselling the work.
- Native iOS app development
- Native Android app development
- Cross-platform development with Flutter
- UI/UX design & prototyping
- Backend & API integration
- App Store & Play Store submission
- Post-launch maintenance & updates
- White-label delivery for IT firms, direct delivery for SMEs
Our Remote Mobile App Development Process
- 1
Discovery & Requirements
We start with a scheduled video call — with you directly if you’re an SME, or with your project lead if you’re an IT firm outsourcing the build — to understand your users, business goals, and the platforms you need to reach, and scope the right approach — native or cross-platform.
- 2
Design & Prototyping
We design wireframes and interactive prototypes and share them online for review, so the app’s flow and screens are agreed before development begins, working directly with you or through your account manager.
- 3
Development & Testing
We build the app, integrate it with your backend and APIs, and share test builds so you can try it on your own devices before it’s ready to ship.
- 4
App Store Launch & Support
We handle App Store and Play Store submission, then stay on for ongoing maintenance, updates, and support after go-live — under your own brand if you’re an outsourcing partner — coordinated entirely over video, WhatsApp, and email.
Which Approach Fits Your App?
We recommend the platform approach that matches your goals and budget, not the one that’s easiest for us.
iOS
Best when your users are predominantly on iPhone and you want an app that feels native to Apple’s design conventions and performance.
Android
Best for reaching the largest share of smartphone users across Africa, where Android usage significantly outpaces iOS in most markets, with full access to device-specific features.
Flutter
Best when you need both iOS and Android from a single codebase, keeping development time and ongoing costs lower — a common priority for SMEs and IT firms working to a tighter budget.
Why work with us
Built for African IT firms and SMEs alike
No office on the continent needed — here’s how outsourced and direct app development engagements both run smoothly.
White-Label Delivery for IT Firms
African IT services companies use us as extra mobile app development capacity — working under your brand or NDA, reporting to your project lead, without contacting your client unless you want us to.
Direct Delivery for SMEs
African SMEs work with us directly, with no agency in between — from a discovery call through launch and ongoing support.
iOS, Android & Flutter Expertise
Deep, proven experience across native and cross-platform builds, so we recommend the approach that fits your business, not the one we default to.
Flexible Invoicing
We invoice in USD or INR, with payment terms and currency agreed upfront as part of your proposal.
Common Questions
Native vs. cross-platform — which should I choose?
It depends on your budget, timeline, and how much you rely on platform-specific features. Native iOS and Android development gives the best performance and deepest access to device features, but means building and maintaining two separate codebases. Flutter lets us build one codebase for both platforms, which is usually faster and more cost-effective — we’ll recommend the right fit after understanding your requirements.
How long does app development take?
Timelines depend on the app’s scope and complexity — a simple app with a handful of screens moves faster than one with custom backend integrations, payments, or real-time features. We agree a clear schedule with you upfront during the discovery phase and keep you updated at each milestone.
Do you help with app store submission?
Yes. We handle the full App Store and Google Play submission process, including store listings, screenshots, and compliance with each platform’s review guidelines, so you’re not navigating that process alone.
How does remote development and testing coordination work for an African client?
Every stage — discovery calls, design reviews, and progress updates — happens over video, WhatsApp, and email, with a single project lead keeping you informed at each milestone, or reporting through your own project lead if you’re an IT firm outsourcing the build to us. We share test builds through TestFlight for iOS and internal testing tracks for Android, so you can try the app on your own devices before anything goes live.
