Native (Swift + Kotlin): highest performance + access to new Apple/Google features (Live Activity, App Clips, Material You). Best for: gaming, AR, video editors, 1M+ user projects. Cross-platform (React Native / Flutter): 50% cheaper + single codebase + 2x faster development. Best for: MVP, e-commerce, B2B, content apps. We advise based on your scenario; we don't push native when it's not needed.
Google Play: 2-8 hours after submit (usually live same day). Apple App Store: 1-3 business days after submit. Account setup included: Apple Developer Program (€99/year) and Google Play Console (€25 one-time), opened in your name with Italian IBAN, 100% your ownership. Free revision if rejected.
No. Of our last 24 apps, 23 approved on first submit. We know Apple guidelines 4.0 (Design), 5.1 (Privacy, GDPR + ATT), 2.5 (Performance) by heart. If rejected: free revision for our code errors; separate quote for content policy violations. Guaranteed.
Code is 100% yours. GitHub repository handed over free. You can continue with another software house, hire internal devs. App Store and Google Play accounts in your name — 100% your ownership. Vendor lock-in is not our model.
Every project gets a senior mobile developer (min. 5 years iOS/Android). Our 12-year team includes devs who worked at Satispay, Bending Spoons, Musement. Juniors work under code review — output is owned by the senior. We introduce the assigned developer at the discovery call.
Yes. Full SDI integration for B2B/B2C invoicing (codice destinatario, PEC or accredited channel send, receipt, 10-year substitute storage per AdE). Compatible with TeamSystem, Zucchetti, Fatture in Cloud, Aruba. For public sector apps, PagoPA integration via authorized PSPs. AgID-qualified for public data hosting.
Standard package: OneSignal/Firebase push, Stripe IT/Satispay/Nexi/PayPal/Klarna + Apple Pay + Google Pay + Bancomat Pay + Scalapay, Firebase Analytics + Mixpanel, Sentry crash, biometric login. Extras (Zendesk, Intercom, deep linking, MapKit/Google Maps, ARKit/ARCore) included in scope — no extra fee.
Three options: (1) Shared backend — web + mobile on the same API, cart syncs across devices. Most common. (2) Hybrid web view — for low budget some mobile screens show the web page (Apple dislikes this; needs care). (3) Mobile-dedicated app — mobile-first UX, syncs to web via API. We decide together at discovery.
78% of Italian consumers buy from a smartphone, but the payment layer is structurally different from the rest of the EU. Beyond Apple Pay IT and Google Pay, the canonical stack adds Satispay (mobile-wallet unicorn, 4M+ users), Bancomat Pay (mobile version of the local debit-card scheme), Scalapay BNPL and the Nexi XPay SDK. Garante Privacy consent architecture is a critical checkpoint in both App Store IT and Google Play IT review.
In Italy iOS holds 26% market share (premium segment), Android 74%. ARPU on iOS is 3.1× higher; e-commerce and fintech apps prioritise iOS. For hybrid stacks, React Native + Expo (Bending Spoons, some Satispay flows) and Flutter (Esselunga, Conad) are popular. Native iOS Swift + native Android Kotlin dominate banking and health apps.
Satispay's iOS + Android SDK uses a deep-link architecture: user is bounced to the Satispay app for SCA and bounced back on confirmation. PSD2 SCA is triggered automatically. Merchant commission is €0.20 above €10 with 0% transaction fee. Setup is 1–2 weeks for an experienced team; the main gotcha is handling the "PaymentIntent" state machine "Pending → Accepted → Failed" correctly.
Apple Pay IT has been live since 2018 and lifts checkout conversion by 22–28%. The merchant side uses PassKit + Apple Pay Merchant ID + domain verification; the backend forwards the payment token to Nexi XPay, Stripe or Adyen. Google Pay IT follows the same shape — Wallet API + server-side token decryption. Supporting both schemes covers 88% of checkout users.
Bancomat Pay (Bancomat S.p.A.), the mobile companion to Italy's domestic debit-card scheme, has ~8M users. P2P (Bancomat Pay > phone number), e-commerce (online payment) and POS (in-store QR). Fees are below Visa/Mastercard (0.8–1.2%). Official iOS + Android SDK is available; approval from Bancomat S.p.A. activates the channel. Positions strongly as an "Italian-first" alternative.
An Italian mobile app generally has a three-layer consent flow: (1) Trattamento dati personali (operations), (2) Profilazione (analytics + A/B testing), (3) Marketing (push + email + third-party sharing). The consent screen is exactly what App Store IT reviewers inspect; each layer must be revokable individually — a single "tutto in uno" form is rejected. Iubenda for Apps is the most widely-used compliance SDK in Italy.
Listings on the Italian App Store must be 100% Italian: name, subtitle, description, screenshot labels. "Made in Italy" framing is a powerful ASO signal but requires the developer entity (Partita IVA + sede legale) to be Italian. The most common App Store IT rejection: in-app subscription priced in USD instead of EUR. The second most common: non-compliant Garante Privacy consent screen.
| Channel | IT share | Review time | Commission |
|---|---|---|---|
| App Store IT | 26% | 24–48 hrs | 15% (small) / 30% |
| Google Play IT | 74% | 2–7 hrs | 15% (small) / 30% |
| Amazon Appstore IT | 2% | 3–5 days | 20% |
| Huawei AppGallery | 1% | 1–2 days | 15% |
Nexi Mobile SDK is tightly coupled to the Italian card network; Bancomat Pay is native and Italian-bank 3DS is the fastest. Adyen Mobile SDK shines on multi-country single-account consolidation. Stripe Terminal Italia is more in-store; for e-commerce, the Stripe Payments SDK. Fees: Nexi 1.4% + €0.15; Adyen Interchange++; Stripe 1.4% EU card, 2.5% non-EU card.
Italian users opt in to push at an average ~38%, below the EU mean. Anchoring the opt-in screen to a local calendar ("Resta aggiornato sui Saldi") lifts opt-in to 52%. OneSignal, Bumpapp (Italian, Bologna-based) and Braze are widely used. Garante Privacy requires a separate written consent for marketing push; transactional push (order status, etc.) is consent-free.
