New York app development
that ships.

Gotham Production designs and builds native iOS and Android apps for New York startups and businesses — from a first sketch to a polished listing live on the App Store and Google Play.

Native apps, built in New York

From a rough idea
to a live app.

A great app looks effortless and feels instant — and getting there takes a team that has actually shipped one. We have. Our own game, Velvet Aces, is live on both the App Store and Google Play, and we bring that same crash‑safe, store‑ready standard to every client build.

Gotham Production is a New York app development studio. We handle the whole journey under one roof — product strategy, UX, design, engineering, and launch — so nothing gets lost in a hand‑off. You get native‑quality apps for iPhone and Android, usually from one shared codebase, with a backend that scales and analytics that tell you what's working.

Whether you're a founder validating an MVP or an established business bringing a service to mobile, we'll turn the idea into something people want to open every day — and get it into their hands.

What's included

Everything from concept
to the app store.

Native iOS & Android

Fast, native‑quality apps for iPhone and Android — often one codebase, so you don't build (or pay) twice.

Product & UX Design

Flows, wireframes and a polished interface designed to feel obvious — tested before a line of code is written.

Backend & APIs

Secure, scalable backends, auth, payments and integrations — the plumbing that keeps your app fast and reliable.

App Store Launch

Listings, screenshots, App Store Optimization and submission — we get you through review and onto both stores.

Analytics & Growth

Know what users do and where they drop off — with analytics wired in and a plan to improve retention.

Maintenance & Care

Ongoing updates, OS compatibility and performance tuning so your app keeps working as platforms change.

Questions

App development,
answered.

How much does it cost to build an app in New York?

App cost depends on complexity — a focused MVP costs far less than a feature‑rich product with a custom backend. We scope every app to your goals and budget and give you a clear, fixed quote before any work starts.

Do you build for both iOS and Android?

Yes. We build native‑quality apps for iPhone and Android, often from a single shared codebase, so your product looks and feels right on both platforms without paying twice.

Can you publish my app to the App Store and Google Play?

Absolutely — we handle the full launch: store listings, screenshots, App Store Optimization, review submission and release. Our own app, Velvet Aces, is live on both stores.

How long does app development take?

A polished MVP typically takes two to four months from kickoff to launch, depending on scope. We work in visible milestones so you can see and try the app as it comes together.

Do you maintain apps after launch?

Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance, analytics, performance tuning and updates so your app keeps working as the platforms change and your product grows.
