iOS/Android Social Networking App

I’m ready to bring a new social networking experience to both iOS and Android and I need a seasoned mobile developer who can take the concept from blank screen to App Store and Google Play release. The core objective is to create a responsive, stable and scalable app that feels genuinely native on each platform while sharing a single codebase where sensible.

Here’s what I’m looking for:
• A developer who has already shipped social or community-driven apps and can point to live examples.
• Proficiency with Swift or Objective-C on iOS, Kotlin or Java on Android, and a proven cross-platform framework if you prefer to accelerate the build (React Native, Flutter, or similar).
• Solid back-end knowledge to stand up user authentication, data storage, push notifications and real-time interactions. I’m open to Firebase, AWS Amplify, or a custom REST/GraphQL solution—please outline what you feel best suits a modern social product.

I currently have no finalised designs, so if you or a teammate offer UI/UX services that would be a bonus. Otherwise, be prepared to collaborate closely with a designer I’ll bring on board.

Deliverables I expect:
1. Technical architecture plan with recommended tech stack
2. Clickable prototype or staged test build for early feedback
3. Full source code with clear documentation
4. Deployed TestFlight and internal Android tracks for iterative testing
5. Production release support, including store listing assets and post-launch stability monitoring

Please include:
– A brief overview of similar projects you’ve completed
– Which tools and libraries you intend to use and why
– An estimated timeline broken into milestones (design, MVP, beta, launch)

I’m eager to move quickly once I find the right fit, so let me know your availability and any questions you have.
