Cross-platform capacity for Newcastle product teams

Newcastle web teams already working in JavaScript can often extend into mobile without starting from zero. React Native app developers in Newcastle work with your engineers, share components with your web product and keep the codebase tidy for the next hire.

Distance has not been a problem for Newcastle clients. We keep one shared project space, agree dates in writing and hold calls at times that suit Newcastle hours, which sit 2 to 3 hours ahead of Perth.

  • Bluetooth equipment tested
  • Offline sync queue
  • Scheduled upgrades

Common situations

What Newcastle clients usually ask us to solve

Teams with JavaScript skills

If your team already writes React, much of that experience carries into mobile. We help you ship to both stores without hiring a separate native team, and leave your developers able to maintain the app.

Field and inspection apps

Inspection and field apps need the camera, offline storage and fast forms. React Native delivers them on iPhone and Android from one codebase, with native modules where a feature needs more.

Apps needing native hardware access

Some apps talk to scanners, printers or Bluetooth equipment. We write and test native modules for those links, so hardware features work reliably on real devices.

1
Version

Older React Native versions need staged upgrades rather than one big jump.

2
Native needs

Special hardware features need native code written and tested separately.

3
Team skills

Existing JavaScript experience speeds things up, but gaps need attention.

4
Libraries

Third-party packages need vetting, since poor ones cause trouble later.

5
Release process

Release automation takes initial effort but pays back quickly.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask your own →
Can you upgrade our old React Native app?
Yes, in careful steps with testing along the way, so the app keeps running while it improves.
Do you write native modules?
Yes, when React Native alone is not enough, we write native code for those features.
Can you join our sprints?
Yes, working in your tools and cadence, so we fit in instead of disrupting your team.
Do you use TypeScript?
Yes, for safer, clearer code that is easier to maintain.
Will the app feel native?
For most apps, yes, with attention to platform details that make it feel natural.
Do you automate releases?
Yes, to make shipping routine and reduce manual steps, and you can ask us anything along the way.
Can React Native connect to industrial Bluetooth devices?
Yes, through a native module for Bluetooth, which we test with your actual equipment on both platforms. Industrial devices often have quirks, so we confirm behaviour on the hardware before committing to the design.
How do you structure an offline-first app?
With local storage, a queue of pending changes and clear conflict rules, so users can keep working without signal and changes upload safely later. We test the awkward cases, such as edits made on two devices.
How do you handle performance?
By profiling real screens, avoiding unnecessary re-rendering, optimising lists and images and moving heavy work off the main thread. We measure on mid-range phones, not only the latest handsets, before release.
How do you manage library updates?
With scheduled upgrades and tests, so the app never falls far behind. Small regular updates to React Native and libraries are safer and cheaper than a large jump after years of neglect.
