App development in Dubai
Old Port is an app development company in Dubai that designs, builds and releases mobile and web apps for Android, iOS and the browser. We are also an app publisher: our own wellbeing apps, GameHarbor and MindHarbor, are built and maintained by the same team that builds client products.
What is included.
- Product discovery, user flows and a written scope
- UI/UX design and a clickable prototype
- Cross-platform development for Android, iOS and web from one codebase
- Accounts, cloud sync and AI features where they add value
- Automated builds, testing on real devices and store submission
- Post-launch updates, monitoring and support
How we work.
- Step 1
Scope
Workshops to agree what the first version must do, who it is for and how success is measured.
- Step 2
Prototype
A clickable prototype you can put in front of real users before development starts.
- Step 3
Build
Development in short cycles, with a working build to review at the end of each one.
- Step 4
Release
Store listings, submission to Google Play and the App Store, and a web release.
App development: questions and answers.
Need something specific? Tell us about your project.
How long does it take to build an app?
It depends on scope. A clickable prototype usually comes first, then development in stages. You receive a staged timeline with your proposal before any work begins.
Do you build native or cross-platform apps?
We usually build cross-platform: one codebase released as native Android and iOS apps plus a web version. It is how GameHarbor and MindHarbor are built, and it keeps cost and maintenance lower. We recommend native only when a project needs it.
Can you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We prepare the store listings, screenshots and privacy details, and handle submission and review for both stores.
