Mobile App Development with Custom Service

.NET MAUI finally replaced Xamarin in 2024. With the cross-platform framework .NET MAUI, the development of native apps for different platforms is made possible in the same programming language and with the same tools.

Another advantage is that a large part of the app logic, such as server communication and business rules, can be reused across platforms. Apps created with .NET MAUI offer almost native performance and are more efficient than hybrid or web apps. Furthermore, .NET MAUI enables access to native APIs and functions, which is particularly advantageous for complex apps.

With .NET MAUI, apps can be developed that can be run on different platforms. It supports the creation of native user interfaces for each platform and offers a uniform user experience. Changes can be made during the runtime of the app, which shortens the development time. .NET MAUI is closely integrated with Visual Studio, which creates an efficient development environment.

The following points underline the efficiency and flexibility that .NET MAUI offers for the development of modern applications:

• Cross-platform app development
• Uniform programming language
• Native user experience
• Code reuse

We offer smartphone app development and for all other common devices such as tablets or wearables. Since we realize mobile app development for iOS and Android as well as cross-platform apps and web applications, popular mobile devices are supported as well as Mac, Windows PCs or smartwatches. Our app development for iPhone, iPad, Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy and Co. makes it possible for your app to be used by your customers on every typical mobile device.

Thanks to our technological approach, we can ensure that your application runs stably on all devices.

We offer comprehensive support during the development process, especially in the area of cross-platform app development for Android and iOS. We offer services such as the development of warehouse logistics apps, integration into existing teams to overcome bottlenecks, project management and consulting.

Our services at a glance:

• App Design: We design interfaces that are attractive and intuitive. We also take into account corresponding design guidelines (e.g. for iOS apps). This creates a clear, user-friendly experience.
• UI Design: Visually appealing interfaces with a clear structure that reflect your brand and immediately pick up users.
• App Programming: We implement your app technically in a modern development environment and offer you native app development for iOS or Android.
• Mobile App Testing: Thorough tests on various devices ensure the quality, performance and stability of your app.
• Flexible expert support: Whether you hand over a complete project or need selective support – we adapt to your needs.
• Mobile App Development Trainings: In addition, we offer trainings and support for teams that want to learn app development or expand their skills in app programming.

Cayas Software positions itself as a full-service partner and attaches great importance to high-quality and cost-effective solutions.

Yes, we can convert existing Xamarin apps to .NET MAUI, .NET for Android or .NET for iOS. To do this, we update projects to SDK-style projects and dependencies to the latest .NET version. On our blog page, you can find an article about the 7 steps to migrate from Xamarin Forms to .NET MAUI for further insight.

The development time of an app depends on its scope. Smaller projects can be completed in just three weeks, an app with several functions can take up to six months of development time.

• Planning (1-2 weeks): Together we sharpen your idea and derive a clear concept from it, including requirements for app design, functions, performance and quality.
• Design & Prototyping (3-4 weeks): A prototype shows the look & feel of your app at an early stage. This gives you a concrete picture of the later user experience and allows you to make targeted adjustments in this phase.
• Technical App Development (6-12 weeks): In the development phase, we combine the app design with features and architecture to create a functional application. Your app is created step by step.
• Quality Assurance (3-6 weeks): To ensure a smooth experience, the app undergoes extensive testing after app programming.
• Release & Go-Live: Finally, we publish the app in the desired store and accompany the launch.

Cayas Software GmbH has developed a variety of cross-platform apps that cover different industries and use cases. We are experts in app development for iOS and Android. The app types we have developed include:

• Warehouse logistics apps: These apps optimize warehouse processes and improve efficiency in logistics.
• Driver apps: Developed for delivery services to enable drivers to navigate safely and efficiently.
• Voice command integration: Implementation of voice commands in apps to increase user-friendliness.
• Field service apps: For order management, reporting and mobile process support.
• Customer portals & service apps: Digital interfaces to customers, orders or support.
• Maintenance and technician apps: For smart process control directly on site.
• Marketing and product apps: For strong customer loyalty and brands to experience.

Yes, definitely! At Cayas, we are not satisfied with just publishing the app. We offer ongoing support and maintenance on request. Depending on your requirements, this can include monitoring, updates, bug fixes, performance improvements or even the development of further functions.

Our goal is to ensure that your app runs smoothly and grows with your business. As a rule, we offer flexible support models after publication:

• Maintenance contracts with a defined scope and fixed service levels.
• Flexible support packages with a fixed number of hours per month that you can use as needed.
• On-demand support if you only want to request support when you need it.

This way, you can choose the app development model that best suits your company and ensure the long-term stability of your app.

The cost of an app depends on its range of functions, the required interfaces, the design and the planned expansion. The more features and individuality are desired, the higher the investment requirement.

At Cayas, you will receive a clear, comprehensible offer without hidden items. This gives you full planning security from the very beginning, both in terms of budget and time frame.

In app development, we rely on modern technologies and many years of experience. Depending on the project goal and platform, different programming languages and frameworks are used:

• Swift / Objective-C → for Apple platforms
  These languages are used for native iOS, iPadOS or macOS apps when maximum performance and deep hardware access are required.
• Kotlin / Java → for Android platforms
  These languages are suitable for native Android apps that are to be optimally adapted to smartphones and tablets with Android.
• C# (.NET MAUI) → cross-platform
  With .NET MAUI, we develop apps that run on both iOS and Android based on a common codebase. This reduces development and maintenance efforts, and new functions can be published faster.

This way, we can flexibly decide – depending on the budget, target group and range of functions – whether a native solution or a cross-platform app offers the most added value.

Regardless of the approach, we pay attention to high performance, reliable quality and a user-friendly app design, so that your application is convincing on all devices.
