One codebase, both platforms
Cross-platform development means your app is written once and runs on iOS and Android. One team, one timeline, and one set of updates — instead of paying for the same app twice.

Mobile apps for Dubai businesses.
Shapes Infinity is an app development company in Dubai that ships cross-platform mobile apps to iOS and Android from one codebase — one build, one timeline, both stores. Founded in 2024, we work with startups and established businesses across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the wider GCC, with bilingual English and Arabic interfaces when your users need them. One conversation gets you a plan, a timeline, and a transparent quote, with deliverables defined before the work begins.

- Both stores one build, one timeline
- One codebase iOS + Android
What mobile app development covers here
An app is more than the screens people tap. Every mobile app we build in Dubai includes the design, the engineering, the backend, and the store delivery — running on the same modern stack the studio uses for everything: React, Next.js, Node.js, Tailwind, and cloud infrastructure. Mobile apps are one of our services from one studio, all quoted the same transparent way.
Backend, APIs, and cloud
Most apps need more than a front end. We build the backend and APIs on Node.js and cloud infrastructure, so your app has somewhere solid to keep its data and something fast to talk to.
App Store and Google Play delivery
We prepare the listings, handle the submissions, and see the app through review on both stores. Your app launches on Apple and Google together — not one now and the other eventually.
Bilingual English and Arabic
Interfaces designed to work as hard in Arabic as in English, right-to-left layouts included. For apps serving the UAE and Saudi Arabia, bilingual is not an extra — it is part of the brief.
UI/UX designed first
Screens and flows are designed before a line of app code is written, so you approve exactly what will be built. What you sign off on is what ships to the stores.
Support after launch
Updates, security checks, and performance improvements after release — including keeping up with the new OS versions Apple and Google push every year.
How an app project runs
App developers in the UAE quote in wildly different ways; ours is deliberately boring. An app runs through the same four steps as every project at the studio — you see the plan before the work, and you know the price before we start.
The brief
One conversation, on WhatsApp or a call. Tell us what the app should do, who will use it, and where it needs to run — we ask the questions that matter.
The plan
A plan, a timeline, and a price, with deliverables defined in writing before any work begins. Transparent quotes, no hidden costs.
The build
Defined-scope apps ship in 2 to 4 weeks. Larger apps get a staged plan, so something real is in your hands at every stage — not only at the very end.
Release and support
We deliver to both stores and stay through review. After launch: updates, security checks, and performance work, with an optional monthly plan if you want us on call.
Mobile app questions, answered
The questions Dubai and UAE businesses ask us most before starting an app. If you want the longer version, our learning tracks explain how we build, in plain language.
Should I build a native or a cross-platform app?
For most businesses, cross-platform is the practical choice: one codebase covers iOS and Android, which means one timeline, one budget, and one set of updates instead of two. Native development makes sense when an app depends heavily on device-specific features. Tell us what your app needs to do and we will give you a straight recommendation before any quote.
How long does mobile app development take?
A defined-scope app takes 2 to 4 weeks. Larger apps get a staged plan, so you know what ships at each stage and when. Either way, you see the timeline in writing before the build starts, and the deliverables are agreed before any work begins.
Will my app be released on both the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. Because the app is built from one codebase, the same build ships to both stores. We prepare the store listings, handle the submission process for Apple and Google, and stay with it through review until the app is live on both.
Who owns the code when the project is done?
You do. The codebase and everything produced for the project belong to you, handed over with clear documentation. You are free to maintain the app with us, with your own team, or with anyone else — there is no lock-in.
What happens after the app launches?
Launch is the start, not the end. Ongoing support covers updates, security checks, and performance improvements, including keeping pace with the new OS versions Apple and Google release every year. Some clients keep us on call with a monthly plan; others come back when they need the next feature.
