Mobile app development for iOS and Android
A successful mobile app is simple to use, fast and genuinely useful day to day. GadLia designs and builds custom iOS and Android apps for startups, retailers and companies in Morocco: from the idea and prototype to publishing on the App Store and Google Play, followed by ongoing updates. Our Marrakech team works on projects in Casablanca, Rabat and across the country.
- iOS & Android
- React Native & Flutter
- Store publishing
What you get
Everything you need to launch your app, not just the code: product design, back end, publishing and support.
- 01
Product workshop and prototype
We pin down the must-have features for version one, then build a clickable prototype you can test before development starts.
- 02
Mobile interface design
Screens designed for the thumb: clear navigation, natural gestures, iOS and Android conventions, and a right-to-left Arabic version.
- 03
One codebase, two platforms
With React Native or Flutter, a single codebase powers both iOS and Android. The project moves faster and maintenance takes less effort.
- 04
Back end, APIs and admin panel
User accounts, database, push notifications, payments and a web dashboard to manage content, orders or users.
- 05
App Store and Google Play publishing
Store listings, screenshots, descriptions, compliance with store guidelines and handling of the review process.
- 06
Maintenance and new features
Updates for new iOS and Android versions, bug fixes, crash monitoring and new features as your product grows.

What makes the difference
An app is a product that lives over time. We build it to stay maintainable and to grow with your business.
The right technical choice
React Native, Flutter or fully native: we recommend the technology based on your features and budget, not on habit.
Design and development in one team
Our UI/UX designers and developers work together. What gets designed can actually be built, and what gets built matches the design.
A partner after launch
We stay on hand for store updates, fixes and new releases. The code and developer accounts remain in your name.
How we work
Four clear steps, with your sign-off at every stage.
- 01
Step 1
Discovery
We define your users, the main journeys and the scope of version one, so you can launch quickly without cutting what matters.
- 02
Step 2
Prototype
Key screens become an interactive prototype. You try it on your own phone before development begins.
- 03
Step 3
Development in sprints
We deliver in short iterations. You install test builds on your phone and give feedback along the way.
- 04
Step 4
Launch and follow-up
Submission to the App Store and Google Play, close monitoring of the first weeks, quick fixes and a roadmap for what comes next.

- React Native
- Expo
- Flutter
- TypeScript
- Swift

Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your answer? Send us a message, we reply quickly.
Do I need separate apps for iOS and Android?
Not necessarily. With React Native or Flutter, a single codebase runs on both platforms with a near-native experience. We only recommend fully native development when the app relies on very specific phone features.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
It depends mainly on the number of features. A focused MVP usually takes from a few weeks to a few months. After the discovery workshop you receive a detailed timeline along with the quote.
Do you handle App Store and Google Play publishing?
Yes. We prepare the listings, screenshots and descriptions, and manage the submission and any feedback from the review teams. Developer accounts are created in your name.
Can my app be in Arabic and French?
Yes. We plan multilingual apps from the start, with an Arabic interface that displays correctly right to left alongside French or English.
Can we work together if I am based in Casablanca or Rabat?
Of course. We are based in Marrakech and run projects all over Morocco. Workshops happen by video call or on site, and you test each intermediate build directly on your phone.
