Mobile App Development
Company in Dubai

Mobile app development in Dubai starts from AED 15,000 for a simple single-platform app and ranges up to AED 500,000+ for a complex AI-powered cross-platform app with backend, admin panel, and enterprise integrations. A typical UAE business app — cross-platform with a payment gateway and admin panel — costs between AED 50,000 and AED 120,000. Al Wafaa Group provides a fixed-price proposal after a free discovery session so you know the exact cost before any work begins.

A simple single-platform app takes 6–10 weeks. A cross-platform app (React Native or Flutter) takes 10–16 weeks. A full-featured e-commerce or delivery app with backend, admin panel, and UAE payment integration takes 3–5 months. Enterprise apps with ERP integration take 4–6 months. Al Wafaa Group uses two-week agile sprints — you see a working demo every fortnight, not just at the end of the project.

Yes. Al Wafaa Group builds native iOS apps (Swift), native Android apps (Kotlin), and cross-platform apps (React Native, Flutter). We handle full App Store and Google Play Store submission including screenshots, app store descriptions, review management, and UAE regulatory requirements for each store. We recommend cross-platform development for most UAE business apps as it delivers 30–40% lower development cost with the same user experience on both platforms.

You do — completely. Al Wafaa Group transfers full source code ownership to the client upon project completion and final payment. You receive the full source code repository, all API keys and credentials, and full access to the App Store and Play Store accounts. We do not retain any licensing rights to your application. There is no vendor lock-in of any kind.

Yes — Arabic RTL support is built natively into every app from the UX design stage, not bolted on afterwards. We design Arabic and English layouts simultaneously in Figma, test Arabic text rendering on actual UAE devices, and validate that all UI components flip correctly in RTL mode. Our Arabic support covers Modern Standard Arabic and the Gulf dialect. We also build bilingual content management systems so your team can update Arabic and English content without a developer.

Yes. Al Wafaa Group integrates all major UAE payment gateways including Telr, PayTabs, and Network International, as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay for UAE cards. We also handle VAT-compliant receipts (5% UAE VAT), refund flows, and payment webhook integration with your backend or ERP. Our payment integration is tested in the UAE live environment before launch.

Yes. Every Al Wafaa mobile app project includes a 12-month warranty covering bug fixes at no additional cost. After the warranty period, we offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) covering OS version updates (iOS and Android release updates), security patches, App Store policy compliance updates, and feature enhancements. We recommend an AMC for all production apps as Apple and Google release major OS updates annually that require app testing and often minor code changes.

Yes — and you do not need to rebuild your app. Al Wafaa Group adds AI features to existing iOS and Android apps via API integration, typically adding 2–6 weeks to a project timeline. Common AI additions include an AI chatbot in Arabic and English, personalized product recommendations, image recognition (for inspection apps or e-commerce), voice search, and predictive features. AI processing runs server-side so major AI updates do not require new App Store submissions.

Yes. Al Wafaa Group has built Uber-style on-demand delivery and service apps for UAE businesses including logistics companies, food delivery services, car care businesses, and facility management companies. These include a customer app, a driver/service provider app, real-time GPS tracking, geofenced delivery zones, in-app payment, rating system, and a full admin panel with dispatch management and analytics.

Native apps are built separately for iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) — they offer the highest performance and deepest access to device features. Cross-platform apps (React Native, Flutter) share one codebase for both platforms — faster to build, less expensive to maintain, and in most business use cases indistinguishable from native in terms of performance. For most UAE business apps — e-commerce, bookings, enterprise tools — we recommend React Native or Flutter. For apps requiring very high performance or deep device hardware access, we recommend native.
