An app goes through the same five stages whoever builds it. Knowing them makes it easier to tell where a project is, and where it is stuck.
1. Deciding what the first version is not
Most first versions try to do too much. The useful question is not what the app could do, but what it has to do on day one for anyone to open it twice. Everything else waits.
2. Screens and flow
Before any code, the screens get drawn and the path through them gets settled. This is the cheapest point to change your mind. Moving a button in a drawing takes a minute; moving it after the build takes a day.
3. The build
We build in React Native, so one codebase runs the Android app, with Firebase behind it for accounts, data and anything live. You see working screens as they land, not at the end.
4. Testing on real phones
Not an emulator. Real Android phones, including a slow one, because that is what most people have. An app that is smooth on a developer's machine and stutters on a four-year-old phone is not finished.
5. Play Store submission
Store listing, screenshots, privacy policy, signed release, then review. Google's review takes a few days and can come back with questions. The account stays in your name, not ours.
