Getting Started
By OneByte Studio
How OneByte Studio takes a mobile product from idea to App Store and Play Store — discovery, design, build, and release.
Start with the product, not the stack
The best mobile apps begin with a sharp user problem. Before we pick Swift, Kotlin, or a cross-platform toolkit, we map who the app is for, what “done” looks like on day one, and which platform moments matter most.
Discovery that ships
Workshops stay short and concrete: flows, constraints, store requirements, and a release slice small enough to learn from real users. You leave discovery with a prioritized backlog and a clear technical recommendation — not a binder of unused research.
Design for thumbs and systems
We design for native patterns on iOS and Android while keeping a shared product language. Screens are prototype-ready, accessibility is considered early, and edge cases (offline, empty states, permissions) are treated as first-class.
Build with release discipline
Engineering pairs with store checklists from week one: versioning, crash hygiene, analytics hooks, and CI that produces installable builds. Cross-platform projects still respect platform conventions so the app feels at home.
What “getting started” looks like with us
- Intro call — goals, timeline, and platform mix.
- Scope sketch — MVP cut and success metrics.
- Kickoff — design and engineering lanes in parallel.
- First store build — a vertical slice you can put in testers’ hands.
