Mobile app development company in Pakistan

Apps built to be released, not just demoed

Many app projects stall between a promising prototype and a product people can download, pay for and rely on. We start from the release: App Store and Google Play requirements, payments, push notifications, analytics and the backend the app depends on. Planning for those from the first week makes launch day routine rather than a scramble.

LumeBrains is a software house in Lahore with 20+ professionals across engineering, product, design, QA and delivery, led by a founder with more than ten years of hands-on software engineering.

What we build

• Consumer apps: social, content and marketplace apps with feeds, profiles, media and deep links.
• Business and operations apps: staff, delivery and field apps that work alongside an admin platform.
• SaaS companion apps: mobile clients for an existing web product, sharing its APIs and accounts.
• Utilities and device apps: focused tools that use the camera, photos, files, storage or Bluetooth.
• Rescues and takeovers: existing apps that need fixing, finishing or rebuilding. See software product rescue.

iOS, Android, Flutter and React Native

We work in all four and recommend one based on your product, not our preference. Native apps give the best performance and the fullest access to device features; cross-platform lets one codebase serve both stores, which often suits MVPs and content-led apps.

iOS app development

Native iPhone and iPad apps in Swift and SwiftUI, built with App Store review in mind from the first week. See iOS app development.

Android app development

Native Android apps in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, released through Google Play’s testing tracks so you can install every build on your own phone before it goes live.

Flutter app development

One Dart codebase for iOS and Android with a consistent look on both. We build new Flutter apps and take over existing ones, including fixing Firebase, API and payment integrations.

React Native app development

JavaScript and TypeScript apps that can share code and developers with a React or Next.js website. A good fit when your team already works in React.

We explain the trade-offs in plain terms during discovery, including what each choice means for maintenance and hiring later. Need a Flutter, React Native, iOS or Android developer to join your own team? See hiring dedicated developers.

From idea to the app stores

1. Discovery: users, flows, integrations and constraints, agreed before any architecture.
2. Design and architecture: screens, data model and APIs confirmed together.
3. Build: working increments you can install on your own phone through TestFlight and Google Play internal testing.
4. Release and support: store submission, review questions, crash monitoring and a plan for the next version.

You get an estimate up front and a daily update on what was completed, two things our clients have singled out about working with us.

Technology

Swift, SwiftUI, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Flutter and React Native, with Firebase, REST and GraphQL APIs, Stripe and in-app purchases, push notifications, deep links and universal links, and Fastlane release pipelines. On the backend we use Node.js, NestJS, Python, Laravel or .NET, depending on what you already run.

Working with a team in Pakistan

Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5) shares a full working day with the Gulf, the afternoon with the UK and Europe, and the early morning with the US East Coast. There is always overlap for calls, and work moves forward while you sleep. We work in English, with written updates you can forward to your stakeholders.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to build a mobile app in Pakistan?

It depends on the number of screens, the integrations, the platforms and the backend the app needs. Rather than quote a range blind, we run a short discovery and then give you a written estimate broken down by feature, so you can decide what goes into the first version.

How long does it take to build an app?

A focused first version usually takes weeks to a few months; larger products are planned as a series of releases. You see working builds on your own phone throughout, not just at the end.

Do you build for both iOS and Android?

Yes. Either natively for each platform or with one cross-platform codebase in Flutter or React Native. We recommend the approach that suits your product and budget, and explain why.

Should I choose Flutter or React Native?

Both build iOS and Android apps from one codebase. Flutter gives a very consistent look on both platforms; React Native suits teams that already use React on the web and want to share code and developers. We recommend one after looking at your product, your team and any existing code.

Can you take over an app another developer started?

Yes. We begin with a review of the code, infrastructure and accounts, tell you honestly what is worth keeping, and then fix, finish or rebuild it.

Will you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?

Yes, under your own developer accounts, so the apps, store listings and data belong to you. We handle submission, review questions and release notes.
