We build the full mobile stack for the China market — Native iOS (Swift/SwiftUI), Native Android (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose), React Native / Flutter cross-platform, and WeChat Mini Programs. There is no Google Play in mainland China: we handle publishing to Huawei AppGallery, Xiaomi GetApps and Tencent MyApp, plus the China App Store — including the mandatory ICP filing and MIIT app registration, with software copyright (ruanzhu) assistance for Android store listings. Alipay / WeChat Pay / UnionPay in-app payments, JPush + vendor push channels (HMS/Mi Push), Umeng analytics, Bugly crash reporting, Amap maps — all standard. SDK and permission architecture built PIPL-compliant from day one. Fixed price in CNY, 12-month warranty, full source code handed over.
Technologies & Platforms We Work With
What We Build
From ICP filing and software copyright to multi-store publishing, from vendor push channels to Alipay/WeChat Pay in-app payments — everything in one package, designed for China's regulatory and platform ecosystem.
iPhone + iPad compatible, iOS 15+ support. Modern UI with SwiftUI, reactive flow with Combine. The China App Store requires an ICP filing number — we run the entire filing process for you, with first-submit approval track record.
Android 8+ support, Material You 3.0, 40% faster development with Jetpack Compose. No Google Play in China: multi-channel packaging and publishing to Huawei AppGallery, Xiaomi GetApps, Tencent MyApp, OPPO/vivo stores — each channel's requirements (ruanzhu, filing number, privacy compliance) covered. Huawei devices ship without GMS — HMS Core adaptation included.
Single codebase, two platforms — 50% cost saving. Need lighter reach? WeChat Mini Programs skip the download entirely and spread through social chains — the ideal forward scout for a native app: validate demand with a Mini Program, then graduate to native for retention. We build both and advise honestly.
NestJS / Node.js REST or GraphQL API. PostgreSQL + Redis. Deployed on Alibaba Cloud / Tencent Cloud with in-country data residency (PIPL cross-border transfer rules respected). Real-time via WebSocket. Need a dual China/global architecture? We run both.
Clickable prototype in Figma — Apple Human Interface + Material Design compliant, adapted to Chinese user conventions (bottom tabs, waterfall feeds, red-dot engagement patterns). Dark mode, dynamic type, accessibility standard. Animation: Lottie + Rive.
MIIT app filing (ICP) handled — since 2023, apps without a filing number are delisted from the China App Store and local Android stores. Software copyright (ruanzhu) application assistance (mandatory for Android stores). App icon, screenshots, ASO copy, PIPL-compliant privacy policy and first-launch consent dialog — all included. Free revision if rejected.
Real Mobile Apps
Each one live on the China App Store + local Android stores. References shared during the discovery call.
B2C brand retailer. Web + iOS + Android on one backend, Douyin Store and Tmall order aggregation. Alipay + WeChat Pay + UnionPay. Vendor push channels reach 92% of devices; push drove repeat purchases up 38%.
12-branch restaurant chain. Customers scan a QR into a WeChat Mini Program to order and pay (WeChat Pay); loyal members graduate to the native app (stored value, points, coupons). Kitchen tablets auto-receive orders.
6-branch dental chain. Patients book in-app, view panoramic X-rays, download e-prescription PDFs. Personal health data encrypted to PIPL sensitive-information standards, with full consent and withdrawal flows.
Intra-city instant delivery company. Couriers receive daily routes in the Android app (Amap routing API), capture proof-of-delivery photos and e-signatures. Offline mode for weak-signal zones, SF Express/Dada capacity API integration.
Vocational education provider. Students watch video courses, take quizzes, earn certificates. Offline downloads (DRM-protected), screen-recording protection. WeChat Pay / Alipay recurring subscriptions. Minor-protection mode built in.
Textile B2B firm — 180 dealers. Dealers browse the catalogue in-app, add to cart, place orders → flows automatically into Kingdee Cloud → triggers e-fapiao invoicing and dispatch. WeCom (enterprise WeChat) notifications.
How We Work
Fixed price in CNY, fixed schedule. App Store review (1-3 days), local Android store reviews (1-7 days) and filing timelines are all built into the plan. Free revision if rejected.
We talk through your business (60-90 min, Tencent Meeting or Google Meet). Target users, main 3 screens, native vs cross-platform vs Mini Program first, which integrations (Alipay/WeChat Pay, Amap, push, real-name verification). Within 3 business days: a fixed-price CNY quote, module by module.
Clickable Figma prototype, screen-by-screen approval. In parallel we kick off the MIIT app filing and ruanzhu application (filing 2-4 weeks, ruanzhu 1-2 months — runs alongside development, no schedule impact). Dark mode, dynamic type, accessibility standard.
Native: two tracks in parallel (Swift + Kotlin). Cross-platform: React Native / Flutter single codebase. Huawei HMS adaptation and vendor push channels (HMS/Mi Push/JPush) wired in. Weekly builds to TestFlight + Pgyer beta distribution — you try progress on your own phone.
NestJS backend, PostgreSQL, Alibaba Cloud/Tencent Cloud deployment (in-country data). Payments (Alipay/WeChat Pay/UnionPay), push (JPush + vendor channels), analytics (Umeng), crash (Bugly). PIPL self-audit: permission minimisation, SDK inventory, privacy policy, first-launch consent. UAT with your team.
Apple Developer account (¥688/year) opened under your entity, ICP filing number submitted to the China App Store. Huawei AppGallery, Xiaomi GetApps and Tencent MyApp submitted channel by channel (ruanzhu + filing number + privacy dossier complete). iOS review 1-3 days, local Android stores 1-7 days.
12 months of free bug-fix warranty. iOS/Android SDK upgrades (iOS 18, Android 15) and annual store re-reviews included. 24/7 crash monitoring. New features in monthly sprints. Maintenance optional (¥600/hour, or monthly retainer).

Google Play is unavailable in mainland China. Android distribution runs through local stores: Huawei AppGallery, Xiaomi GetApps and Tencent MyApp (plus OPPO/vivo stores) cover the vast majority of Android users. Each channel has its own review requirements — software copyright certificate (ruanzhu), MIIT filing number and privacy dossier are all mandatory. We handle multi-channel packaging, paperwork and per-store submission. Huawei devices also ship without GMS — we include HMS Core adaptation (push, maps, sign-in) as standard.
Since the 2023 regulatory tightening, apps on the China App Store must present an ICP filing number (MIIT app filing) or they are rejected or delisted. Filing requires an in-country entity (business licence) and in-country hosting. We run the entire process: filing dossier, submission via the cloud provider's filing system, then App Store submission once the number is issued. It takes ~2-4 weeks and runs in parallel with development.
Software copyright (ruanzhu) is a certificate of software ownership issued by the National Copyright Administration — Huawei, Xiaomi and Tencent MyApp all require it for listing. The application involves source-code excerpts and documentation, and normally takes 1-2 months (expedite available). We prepare the full dossier and track the application — a missing ruanzhu is the single most common reason China launches stall.
Depends on stage. Mini Program: no download, spreads through WeChat social chains, costs roughly 40-60% of native — ideal for validating demand and high-frequency low-friction flows (ordering, booking, membership). Native app: wins on performance, retention, push reach and complex features (AV, AR, offline). The most common winning play is "Mini Program for acquisition + native app for retention", sharing one backend. We advise honestly in discovery — we won't push native if you don't need it.
It's strict, and store reviewers check it directly. Core requirements: a first-launch privacy consent dialog (no personal data collected before consent), minimised permissions with per-permission purpose statements, consent-withdrawal and account-deletion flows, a public third-party SDK inventory, separate consent for sensitive data (biometrics, health, location trails), and in-country data storage (cross-border transfers need a security assessment). Our SDK and permission architecture is PIPL-shaped by default — it's also the prerequisite for passing Huawei and App Store privacy review.
Physical goods/services (e-commerce, delivery, ride-hailing): integrate Alipay + WeChat Pay + UnionPay SDKs directly, no platform commission. Digital content (memberships, courses, virtual currency) on iOS must go through Apple IAP (standard 30% commission, or 15% via the Small Business Program under $1M/year). Local Android stores apply their own revenue-share policies for digital goods. We architect the payment routing for both categories from the start so you never risk a compliance delisting.
Effectively no — they're unavailable or unreliable in mainland China. We use the mature local stack: push via JPush + vendor channels (HMS Push, Mi Push, Honor/OPPO/vivo channels; APNs on iOS) so notifications arrive even when the app is killed; analytics via Umeng, crash reporting via Tencent Bugly, maps via Amap/Baidu. All standard, no extra charge.
Code is 100% yours. The Git repository is handed over in full — continue with any other team or hire in-house. The Apple Developer account, Huawei/Xiaomi/MyApp developer accounts, the filing entity and the ruanzhu certificate are all registered under your business licence entity — 100% ownership yours. Vendor lock-in is not our model.
Yes, with a path choice: (1) Set up an in-country entity (WFOE) — file, obtain ruanzhu and open store accounts in your own name; maximum control. (2) Use a licensed publishing partner to hold the filing and publish — faster to market but third-party dependent. (3) List outside the China App Store region + reach mainland users via a WeChat Mini Program — lowest compliance overhead. We map the costs and risks of each path to your business model in the discovery call.
