Mobile App Development in Saudi Arabia

Full-Cycle Service

The Entire App Lifecycle Under One Roof

A successful app is more than screens — we build the backends, admin panels, and integrations that actually run it.

iOS & Android Apps

Business, e-commerce, services, and booking apps with smooth interfaces and consistent performance — built native or with Flutter, whichever serves your project best.

UX Design That Survives

Screens designed Arabic-first with full RTL support and tested on real users before development — apps that are hard to use get deleted fast.

Backends & APIs

Secure, scalable servers, databases, and APIs, with an admin panel that manages users, content, and orders in real time.

Notifications & Integrations

Push notifications, Saudi and international payment gateways, maps and tracking, OTP verification, and API connections to your existing systems.

App Store Publishing

We prepare accounts and store assets, submit to the App Store and Google Play under your organization's name, and handle review feedback until approval.

Updates & Support

Compatibility with new iOS and Android releases, rapid crash fixes, and new features prioritized by real usage data after launch.

An Early Technical Decision

Native or Cross-Platform: Which Is Right for Your App?

The most important decision in your project comes before the first line of code — we help you make it on practical criteria, not personal preference.

Native — Swift & Kotlin

The right call when your app needs maximum performance or deep hardware integration: advanced camera work, Bluetooth, heavy mapping, or real-time processing.

Cross-Platform — Flutter

One codebase running on both platforms, so you reach the market faster with lower development and maintenance cost — the practical choice for most business and service apps.

We compare both approaches in detail, criteria and costs included, in our guide: Native vs cross-platform apps.

Delivery Path

Four Stages From Idea to Store

1

Requirements Workshop

We define your target audience and the core features of a first MVP release, deferring the extras that delay launch and inflate cost.

2

Interactive Prototype

Screens designed as a clickable prototype you try on your own device, so you approve the full experience before coding begins.

3

Build & Test

Short development sprints with test builds delivered via TestFlight and Google Play internal testing, plus continuous performance and security checks.

4

Release & Growth

We submit the app, see it through store review, then monitor analytics and crashes and plan updates based on how people actually use it.

Why Matrix IT

We Ship Our Own Apps Before We Ship Yours

Our apps are not just portfolio pieces — they are live products used daily in Saudi Arabia and beyond.

The apps behind our platforms — WOSL school dismissal and Pixa — serve thousands of users in the stores, so we know what holds up after launch
Building software since 2007 for 150+ clients in 15+ countries, from our Riyadh headquarters
Arabic-first: correct RTL interfaces and copy that speaks to the regional audience
Backends hosted inside Saudi Arabia when required, to enterprise security standards
Full source-code ownership, and a natural fit with our other services from e-commerce to enterprise systems

Budget

What Drives Your App's Budget

We do not advertise flat prices because they are simply inaccurate — these are the factors we review with you to produce a clearly itemized proposal.

Number of screens and complexity of first-release features
The choice between native development and Flutter
Whether a backend already exists or must be built from scratch
Required integrations: payments, maps, notifications, internal systems
The support and update plan after store release

FAQ

What Founders and Managers Usually Ask

How long does it take to develop a mobile app?

A first MVP release of a business or services app typically takes 8–12 weeks including design, development, testing, and publishing. Larger apps with complex backends take longer — we set an exact timeline after the requirements workshop.

Do you develop for both iOS and Android?

Yes, we always cover both platforms — either with a single Flutter codebase, or with two native apps in Swift and Kotlin when the nature of the project demands it. We recommend the right option in the first consultation.

Who owns the app's source code?

You do. We hand over the complete source code with documentation, and the store accounts are registered in your organization's name — you stay with us by choice, not by lock-in. That has been our working principle since 2007.

Do you handle publishing to the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. We prepare the accounts, descriptions, and marketing screenshots, submit the app, follow the review through to approval, and address any store feedback at no extra cost during the launch period.

What happens after the app launches?

We offer monthly support plans covering crash monitoring, compatibility with new OS releases, and development of additional features guided by usage data — a successful app is an ongoing product, not a task that ends at handover.
