I build and publish my own apps. Time Zone Pro, Didnt, Kif and The Qibla are on the App Store, built natively with Swift and SwiftUI, and Scrittor on Google Play has been downloaded over 100,000 times. So I've been through the whole thing many times: design, development, in-app purchases, store reviews and getting people to actually download it.

If you have an app idea or want to test an MVP, I can take it from a rough sketch to an app people can download on iPhone and Android.

## Why work with Shahid
- Scrittor has 100K+ downloads and a 4.3 star rating on Google Play
- 4 native SwiftUI apps live on the App Store, plus 2 Chrome extensions
- Shipped subscriptions, lifetime unlocks, widgets and an app in 4 languages
- 6+ years of frontend work, so the design details get the attention they need

## What's included
- **iPhone and iPad apps in SwiftUI**: Native apps built with Swift and SwiftUI that follow Apple's design guidelines and feel at home on iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Macs.
- **Android apps**: Apps for Android phones, published on Google Play, with things like Google Drive backup and sign in.
- **MVPs for founders**: We cut the idea down to what matters most, ship it in a few weeks and learn from real users before spending months on it.
- **Subscriptions and in-app purchases**: Paywalls, subscriptions and one-time unlocks. The same setup I use to make money from my own apps.
- **Widgets and phone features**: Home screen widgets, notifications, location and compass features, and support for multiple languages.
- **App Store and Play Store launch**: I prepare the screenshots, the listing text and keywords, and handle the submission so your app gets approved and found.

## Stack
Swift, SwiftUI, iOS, iPadOS, Android, StoreKit, WidgetKit, App Store Connect, Google Play Console, TestFlight, Figma

## Process
1. **A quick call**: We talk for about 30 minutes about what you want to build and when you need it. After that I send you a written scope, a timeline and a fixed price.
2. **Plan it out**: Before I write real code we agree on the screens, the flows and how it will be built. It saves a lot of back and forth later.
3. **Build**: I share preview links every few days so you can click around and give feedback while things are still easy to change.
4. **Launch and after**: I handle the release and check that everything works. I'm still around after launch for fixes and small changes.

## FAQ
### Do you build for both iOS and Android?
Yes. I have apps on both the App Store and Google Play. We'll pick the right approach for your budget and your users when we plan the project.

### How long does it take to build an app?
A focused MVP usually takes 4 to 8 weeks. Bigger apps with accounts, syncing and payments take longer. You'll get a timeline before we start.

### Will you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. I prepare the screenshots and store listing and handle the submission and review using your developer accounts.

### Do you sign an NDA?
Sure, I'm happy to sign one before you share your idea.
