I need a mobile app developer who can take a social media concept from idea to a polished release on both iOS and Android. Core objective • Build a fully-functional social network where users can create profiles, post updates, follow friends, like/comment, and receive real-time notifications. Scope of work 1. Product planning • Translate my high-level feature list into user flows, wireframes, and visual mock-ups so we can lock the MVP scope quickly. 2. Cross-platform build • Develop the app for both iOS and Android—React Native, Flutter, or another cross-platform stack that guarantees a single, maintainable codebase. • Implement secure authentication (email and popular social logins). • Optimise feeds, media uploads, and push notifications for performance and low data consumption. 3. Back-end & APIs • Set up a scalable back-end with user management, real-time data, and media storage. I’m open to Firebase, Supabase, or a custom Node/Express stack—recommend what fits best. 4. QA & launch • Provide iterative builds for testing, handle bug fixes, and guide the submission process to the App Store and Google Play. Deliverables • UX/UI mock-ups for approval • Source code for the mobile app and server • Documentation covering architecture, environment setup, and deployment steps • A short post-launch support window to resolve critical issues Strong communication and reliable, on-time delivery are essential. If you’ve shipped social media or chat-driven apps before, include links or store listings so I can review them. I’m ready to move quickly once we agree on the technical approach and timeline.
