Mobile app development for iOS and Android in Malaysia
Give customers a simpler way to order and book, or help field staff record work while they are on site. UNO develops iOS and Android business apps using Ionic, Angular and Capacitor. We plan the mobile screens together with the backend, admin tools and system connections, so the project covers what happens after someone taps a button. Our designers and developers work in-house in Kuala Lumpur.
Development costs and scope
Mobile app projects start from RM50,000. Your quote depends on the mobile journeys, backend APIs, administration tools, integrations and device features.
The quote covers the backend and admin tools as well as the iOS and Android releases. Hosting, developer accounts, third-party subscriptions and ongoing support are listed separately in our proposal.

One Ionic app.
Built for iOS and Android.
Ionic Hybrid Development
We use Ionic, Angular and Capacitor to build your app around a shared codebase for iOS and Android.
One product roadmapCoordinated releases
Your App on iOS
The same Ionic product, packaged for iOS and tested on the agreed Apple devices before App Store submission.
Your App on Android
Your Ionic app, packaged for Android and tested across the agreed devices before Google Play submission.
OUR APPROACH
Why we build with Ionic
One codebase runs on both platforms, so features ship to iOS and Android together. It suits ordering, bookings, customer portals and workforce tools.
Ionic hybrid development
A shared application for iOS and Android.
- Development effort
- Build shared screens and workflows once, with platform-specific adjustments where needed.
- Product updates
- Maintain shared features in one codebase, with testing and store releases for each platform.
- Device features
- Camera, location, notifications and file access work through Capacitor plugins. We test each one on real devices.
- Business fit
- Our preferred route for business apps centred on forms, transactions, records and connected workflows.
Native development
Platform-specific apps built separately for iOS and Android.
- Development effort
- Implement and maintain each platform’s interface and app code, even when the business requirements match.
- Product updates
- Coordinate feature changes across both implementations and their release schedules.
- Device features
- Direct access to platform SDKs can suit specialised hardware features and demanding platform-specific experiences.
- Business fit
- Worth considering when intensive graphics, performance constraints or deep OS integration drive the product.
We build with Ionic. If your app needs heavy graphics or deep hardware access, native is the better choice and we will tell you.

How we handle device features, offline work and release
UNO uses Ionic, Angular and Capacitor for a shared iOS and Android codebase.
Device functions
We list the camera, location, notification and file-access needs and check each against the available plugins before committing to it.
Offline work
We decide with you which records are stored on the device and which actions need a connection, and what users see while an upload waits or two people change the same record.
Real conditions
We test on an agreed list of iOS and Android devices: permissions denied, weak connectivity, interrupted uploads, sign-in expiry and app updates, as well as the normal workflow.
App, backend and admin tools
Orders need somewhere to be processed, accounts need access rules and staff need tools to review exceptions. Our quotation includes the backend APIs, administration and system connections alongside the mobile screens.
Release and ongoing use
We submit the app to both stores; developer accounts should be in your company's name. Apple and Google set their own review schedules. Our proposal sets out the warranty and the ongoing maintenance for the app and its backend.
Mobile app development FAQ
Discuss Your AppDoes UNO develop apps for both iOS and Android?
Yes. UNO builds hybrid apps with Ionic, Angular and Capacitor, so one codebase runs on both iOS and Android. Each platform is tested on real devices and released to its own store. We do not build separate native iOS and Android apps.
Should we build a mobile app or a mobile-friendly website?
A mobile-friendly website is often enough for browsing information and occasional enquiries. An app is worth considering when people return frequently, need device features or must complete selected tasks without a connection. We look at how customers or staff will actually use it before recommending an approach.
How much does mobile app development cost in Malaysia?
Business mobile app projects at UNO start from RM50,000. An account-and-forms app typically costs RM50,000 to RM80,000, an ordering or booking app with payments RM80,000 to RM150,000, and a multi-role app with offline work and integrations from RM150,000. Our quotation covers the backend and admin tools as well as the iOS and Android releases.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
A business mobile app for iOS and Android, including its backend, typically takes 8 to 16 weeks from signed proposal to store release. Offline work, several user roles and integrations lengthen the build. Apple and Google review times come on top and are outside our control.
Can a business app work without an internet connection?
Yes, for selected tasks such as viewing assigned jobs or recording an update for later upload. We decide with you what is stored on the device, how it is protected and how conflicting changes are resolved. Features that depend on live data still need a connection.
Can the app connect to our current CRM, ERP or website?
Yes, through the system's API. Where one does not exist, we build it as part of the project. We check login, permissions and the records the app needs to read or update, and any backend changes are listed in the scope.
Will UNO help publish the app on the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We prepare the release and submit the app to the App Store and Google Play. We recommend the developer accounts are registered in your company's name. Apple and Google control their review process, so we cannot guarantee an approval date.
What needs maintaining after a business mobile app is released?
Operating systems, device plugins, backend APIs and store requirements all change, and the app needs checking when they do. Our Support & Maintenance Package covers the app and its backend together, for the devices and OS versions agreed in the project.
Can a mobile app use the camera, location and push notifications?
Yes. Ionic apps use the camera, location and push notifications through Capacitor plugins, subject to the permissions the user grants. Tell us the task behind each feature, such as scanning a code or attaching a site photo. We also design what the app does when permission is denied.
Who owns the mobile app's source code?
You do. The custom source code for the app and its backend becomes yours once the project is paid in full, and we hand it over with the documentation. The developer accounts and store listings should be in your company's name.
