Freelance Mobile App Developer in Islamabad

Freelance mobile app developer for Islamabad, Pakistan: iOS and Android apps from one codebase. Planned for privacy best practice and local payments.

Overview

Cross-platform iOS and Android apps (Flutter or React Native) with secure APIs, push notifications, payments and app-store submission handled for you. Projects for Islamabad run remotely, with about 8.5 hours of overlap with a 9-to-6 working day. Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

Pakistan-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Islamabad have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

No comprehensive data-protection act in force yet (a Personal Data Protection Bill has been drafted): We build to GDPR-style consent and data-minimisation by default so you are ready when national rules are finalised.
Payment methods customers in Pakistan expect: JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast (instant bank payments) and bank card gateways.
Interface and content languages: Urdu and English, with proper right-to-left (RTL) layouts.
