The problem
Mobile apps don't stay finished. The platforms move every year, and an app nobody maintains slowly stops shipping.
A new iOS, a higher target SDK, a dropped Expo version. What built yesterday doesn't build today.
A rejection or policy deadline lands the week you planned to launch.
A release goes out, crashes spike, and nobody on your team owns mobile.
The app works, but nobody knows why. Every change feels risky.
Store deadlines already in effect
Google Play · since Aug 31, 2026
Updates must target Android 16 (API 36)
Apps still targeting older versions can't publish updates, and older targets lose visibility to new users.
Official sourceApp Store · since Apr 28, 2026
Builds must use Xcode 26 and the iOS 26 SDK
If your project doesn't build on Xcode 26, App Store Connect rejects the upload, including bug fixes.

How it works
Add me to your repo, Expo / EAS and store accounts with the permissions you choose. Within a week I audit the codebase, set up crash monitoring and map every store and SDK deadline that affects your app.
Add anything to your board: an upgrade, a crash, a rejected build, a new screen. I work through it one request at a time, in your order.
Most requests are delivered in 48–72 hours on average. Bigger ones are split into smaller pieces so you see progress every few days.

Why it costs more than a task service
Task services wait for you to file a ticket. I own the app: I watch it, plan around the stores and answer when it breaks. Every plan includes the basics below, plus the promises I put in writing.
Not a rotating team. The same senior engineer on every request, building context on your codebase month after month.
Production incidents get a response within 4 business hours, 9am–6pm US Eastern, Monday to Friday.
I track every App Store, Google Play and Expo requirement that affects your app and schedule the work ahead of time.
If a store rule I should have handled blocks your updates, your next month is free.
Crash-free sessions, outdated dependencies and upcoming deadlines, every month, even when nothing broke.
I keep my client list small on purpose. When it's full, new clients join the waitlist.

About
I'm a senior React Native engineer. I've built and released apps to the App Store and Google Play myself, including the 4 shown above, so I know the parts that break after launch: upgrades, store reviews and the bugs that only show up in production.
No account managers, no hand-offs. The person you talk to on the call is the person who opens the pull request.
