Mobile App Development in Sri Lanka
A great mobile app puts your business on your customers’ home screen. INVO2 offers mobile app development in Sri Lanka using React Native and Expo, so a single codebase powers polished apps on both iOS and Android. That means faster launches, lower costs and easier updates — without compromising on the smooth, native feel users expect from the apps they use every day.
Building two separate apps doubles the cost and the headaches
Traditionally, launching on iPhone and Android meant building and maintaining two separate apps with two different teams. Every feature had to be written twice, bugs appeared on one platform but not the other, and releases were constantly out of sync. For most businesses, that cost simply is not justified.
Even with budget in place, many apps fail after launch. They are slow, drain batteries, crash on older phones or ask for permissions users do not trust. App store reviews turn negative, downloads stall and the investment never pays back.
One codebase, two platforms, native performance
React Native and Expo let us write your app once and ship it to both app stores, while still using native components and device features such as the camera, push notifications, location and secure storage. Over-the-air updates mean bug fixes and content changes can reach users in hours, not days.
We design interfaces that follow iOS and Android conventions, test on a wide range of real devices — including the budget phones common in Sri Lanka — and optimise for fast start-up and low data usage. We then handle app store submission, privacy declarations and review requirements for you.
Why INVO2 for mobile app development
Cross-platform development with React Native and Expo lets us deliver iOS and Android apps for significantly less than two separate native builds — without cutting corners on quality. We test on the budget Android phones many Sri Lankan users carry, not just the latest flagships, so your app performs for every customer.
We think beyond the launch. Analytics, crash reporting and over-the-air updates are built in, and our team can plan app store optimisation and paid acquisition campaigns to drive installs. When you need new features, the same team that built the app is ready to extend it.
Every project starts with a focused first release. Rather than building every idea at once, we help you launch the features that prove the concept, learn from real users and invest in the next release with confidence.
Ideal for
- Start-ups validating an app idea
- Businesses adding loyalty, booking or ordering apps
- Companies that need field or rider apps for staff
- Brands that want one team for app, web and marketing

FAQ
Mobile App Development FAQs
Can’t find your answer? Ask us directly — we reply within 24 hours.
Why do you use React Native and Expo?
They let us build for iOS and Android from one codebase while keeping native performance and access to device features. That typically reduces development and maintenance costs significantly compared with two fully separate native apps.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
A focused first version usually takes 10 to 16 weeks, including design, development, testing and app store approval. Simpler apps can be faster; apps with complex integrations take longer.
Do you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We prepare store listings, screenshots and privacy declarations, and submit the apps under your own developer accounts so you retain full ownership.
Can the app work offline?
Yes, where it makes sense. We can cache content and queue actions so users can keep working without a connection, syncing automatically when they are back online.
What happens after the app launches?
Apps need ongoing care: OS updates, new device sizes and security patches. Our maintenance plans cover updates, monitoring and small improvements, and we can plan larger feature releases with you.
Can you add an app to our existing website or system?
Yes. If you already have a website or back-end system with an API, the app can connect to it. If not, we can build the API layer so your website and app share the same data.
