The Journey of a Mobile App: From Figma to App Store
Building a mobile app is more than just writing code — it’s a carefully structured process that moves from concept to design, development, testing, and finally, launch. At Appsoluty, we guide our clients through every step of this journey, turning ideas into smooth, scalable, and user-friendly mobile products.
In this post, we’ll walk you through what it really takes to get from Figma (design) to the App Store (release) — and how we ensure quality at every stage.
1. Design & Prototyping: It All Starts in Figma
Figma is where your app comes to life visually before a single line of code is written. We use it to:
- Create wireframes and define screen layouts.
- Design user flows and interactions.
- Build pixel-perfect mockups that match your brand.
This stage helps align everyone — client, designers, and developers — on what we’re building and how it should feel to users.
2. Planning & Technical Discovery
Before diving into development, we run a short but critical discovery phase:
- Define core features and technical requirements.
- Decide on the tech stack (e.g. Flutter, KMP, native).
- Break the app into sprints for smooth delivery.
This step ensures we’re not just building fast, but building smart — avoiding rework and technical dead ends.
3. Development: Backend, Admin & Mobile in Sync
Development happens in parallel, which is key for speed and consistency:
- Backend Development: We build the API, business logic, and database using Laravel, Node.js, or .NET.
- Admin Panel: A web interface to manage users, content, orders, or anything else your app needs.
- Mobile Frontend: Built with Flutter, Kotlin Multiplatform, or React Native — depending on what fits best.
Each sprint delivers a testable version, so you can follow progress in real time.
4. QA & Testing: Fix Before It’s Live
Every new feature goes through rigorous testing:
- Functional testing
- UI/UX testing
- Cross-device compatibility
- Performance testing
Our QA team ensures your app is bug-free, smooth, and stable before it reaches real users.
5. Deployment: Releasing to the App Store and Google Play
Once the app is approved, we handle:
- Store assets (screenshots, descriptions, keywords)
- Code signing and builds
- App Store and Google Play submission
- Dealing with any rejections or feedback from Apple/Google
We’ve launched dozens of apps — we know how to navigate the process efficiently.
6. Post-Launch Support & Iteration
After launch, the real journey begins. We stay involved to:
- Monitor crashes and analytics
- Release hotfixes or small improvements
- Plan future updates based on user feedback
You’re not left alone — we’re your long-term partner in growth.
