Apps that ship, get found, and keep users.
From MVP to App Store launch in 12 weeks, with marketing, analytics, and ASO baked in from day one. Native iOS (Swift), native Android (Kotlin), or cross-platform via React Native and Flutter. You ship a product, not a prototype.
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
We bundle the deliverables most teams pay three different vendors for, under one strategist, on one timeline, on one invoice.
Product Discovery
User research, flows, and clickable prototypes in Figma. We pressure-test the product before writing a line of code.
Pre-buildNative iOS (Swift)
Swift + SwiftUI for iOS 15+. Pixel-perfect, energy-efficient, App Store guidelines from the first commit.
iOSNative Android (Kotlin)
Kotlin + Jetpack Compose. Material 3, large-screen support, Play Store guidelines respected.
AndroidReact Native (Cross-platform)
Single codebase, near-native performance. The right call for 70% of consumer apps where shipping speed matters most.
Flutter
When you need a single visual language across iOS, Android, and web, Flutter gets there fastest.
Backend & APIs
Firebase, Supabase, or custom Node/Postgres. Auth, push, real-time sync, offline-first patterns, schema versioning.
App Store + Play Store Launch
ASO keyword research, store listing copy, screenshot templates, A/B tested icons. We handle review submissions too.
ASOIn-App Analytics & Cohort Tools
Mixpanel / Amplitude setup, event taxonomy, funnel + retention dashboards, A/B test infrastructure baked in.
GrowthReal projects.
Real results.
Recent engagements across Pakistan and the UK. Each one tied to the metric that actually moved the business.

Cross-platform food delivery · 9-month engagement Lahore + Dubai.
Banking app · App Store 4.8 rating · biometric auth
Swift + Kotlin · biometric onboarding · 14-week build.
Helix patient app · prescription + booking in one
Flutter · custom backend · 24 clinics integrated.
Native shopping app for UK ecommerce
Swift + SwiftUI · 60fps · deep linking + push.
Product discovery
User interviews, competitor teardown, flow mapping, clickable prototype in Figma. We kill ideas on paper, cheaply.
Week 1 to 3Design system + key screens
Brand tokens, component library, 8 to 12 hero screens. Usability testing before any engineering starts.
Week 3 to 5Engineering sprint
2-week sprints with weekly TestFlight / Play internal builds. You're testing the real app from week 6, not waiting for a launch.
Week 5 to 12QA + store submission
Device matrix testing, accessibility, performance, store listing, ASO. Submission to App Store and Play Store, handled.
Week 12 to 14Launch + iterate
First 30 days post-launch are usually noisy. We fix what real users surface, ship updates fortnightly, monitor crash rates.
Month 4+A clear, dated process.
No mystery timelines. Each phase has a deliverable, a duration, and a definition of done, you'll know exactly what we're working on and what's coming next.

Common questions
It depends on the app:
- Pick React Native if shipping speed matters most, your UI is mostly forms/lists/feeds, and you're not pushing device hardware.
- Pick native (Swift + Kotlin) if performance is critical or you're integrating deeply with device APIs.
About 70% of our consumer apps go React Native. Most banking, AR, and camera-first apps go native.

Apps that ship.
And keep users.
Native iOS, Android, and cross-platform apps, from MVP to App Store launch, with ASO and analytics built in.
Thrivehash is a mobile app development company in Pakistan building iOS, Android, and cross-platform apps. App development runs from product discovery and prototype to App Store and Play Store launch. We build native apps in Swift and Kotlin, and cross-platform apps in React Native and Flutter. We've shipped 32+ apps since 2019, with a 4.6 average rating.
Every app ships with a backend and APIs, authentication, push notifications, and in-app analytics. App Store Optimisation (ASO) and store listings are handled in-house, so your app gets found. iOS app development, Android app development, and hybrid builds all follow the same tested process. You own the source code and store accounts. Pricing is in PKR. Call (+92) 316 575 8800.
Frequently asked questions
How much does app development cost in Pakistan?
An MVP starts around PKR 400,000, and a full cross-platform app is quoted per scope. Everything is in PKR, with a fixed scope agreed before we start.
How long does it take to build an app?
An MVP takes 8 to 12 weeks. A full cross-platform app takes 12 to 16 weeks. You test real builds from week six, not at the end.
Native or cross-platform, which should I choose?
Cross-platform (React Native) is faster and cheaper for most apps. Native (Swift, Kotlin) is better when performance or device features matter.
Do you build both iOS and Android apps?
Yes. We build native iOS (Swift), native Android (Kotlin), and cross-platform apps that run on both from one codebase.
Will I own the app and source code?
Yes. You own the source code, the Apple Developer account, and the Play Console. We work as collaborators.
Do you handle App Store and Play Store submission?
Yes. We prepare listings, screenshots, and ASO keywords, then submit and handle the review process to first-submission approval.
What is ASO (App Store Optimisation)?
ASO is SEO for app stores: keywords, title, screenshots, and icon that help your app get found and downloaded.
Can you build a backend for the app?
Yes. We build backends and APIs with auth, push notifications, and real-time sync on Firebase, Supabase, or custom Node and Postgres.
Do you provide app maintenance and updates?
Yes. We ship updates fortnightly after launch, monitor crash rates, and add features as you grow.
Can you take over an existing app?
Yes. We audit the existing code first (usually one week), then either refactor or build features alongside your current setup.
