Hire a React Native
Developer in Chennai.
You already know you want React Native — you need someone who has actually taken one through Apple review rather than someone who has read the documentation. Available for new builds, rescuing existing codebases, or joining your team on contract.
Evidence
A React Native app in the store
Rat Gorls — a React Native social networking app on an AWS backend, published on the Apple App Store. Not a prototype, not a demo — an app the public can download.
Offer Meet — a React Native app for iOS and Android with a React web twin and a merchant admin, sharing one AWS backend. Shops across Kerala publish offers once and they appear in the app and on the web.
The gap between “can write React Native” and “has shipped React Native” is mostly the unglamorous half: Xcode signing, provisioning profiles, entitlements, App Store Connect, privacy manifests, Play Console data-safety forms, and the rejections that arrive at the worst possible moment. That half is where projects miss their launch date.
Capability
What gets handled
App architecture
Navigation, state management, typed API layers and a folder structure the next developer can read. Built to be handed over, not to be rewritten.
Native modules
Camera, push notifications, biometrics, geolocation, background tasks, deep links, in-app purchases and bridging to native SDKs when a library does not exist.
Backend integration
REST and GraphQL, AWS Cognito authentication, AppSync real-time subscriptions, offline-tolerant sync and secure token storage.
Release engineering
Build pipelines, versioning, staged rollouts, TestFlight and internal testing tracks, plus over-the-air updates where they are appropriate.
Performance
List virtualisation, render profiling, bundle size, image handling and startup time — the things that make an app feel cheap when they are ignored.
Codebase rescue
Inheriting an app whose original developer disappeared: dependency upgrades, broken builds, expired certificates and undocumented backends.
Engagements
Ways to hire
React Native work across Chennai
On site in Chennai where the engagement needs it, remote otherwise, and fully remote for clients elsewhere.
Questions
Frequently asked
How experienced are you with React Native?
Enough to have taken an app through Apple’s review process to publication, which is a meaningfully higher bar than having built one locally. Backend, release engineering and store submission are handled in-house rather than passed on.
Can you take over an app another developer built?
Yes, and it is a common request. The first step is a codebase audit, after which you get a straight recommendation on whether maintaining or rebuilding is the better use of your budget — including when the answer is inconvenient.
Do you work with Expo or bare React Native?
Both. Expo is excellent until you need a native module it does not support, at which point the migration path matters. Which is right for you depends on your feature list, and that gets discussed before the architecture is fixed.
Can you write the backend too?
Yes. Serverless AWS — Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, Cognito, AppSync. Having the same person on both sides removes the usual argument about whether a bug is in the app or the API.
Are you available for contract or full-time work?
Contract and project engagements, yes, subject to current commitments. Message with your timeline and hours and you get a straight answer on availability.
Do you publish to both the App Store and Google Play?
Yes, including developer account setup, signing, screenshots, privacy declarations, submission and handling rejections.
What is your rate?
Quoted per engagement — fixed price for defined projects, daily or monthly for contract work. Describe the scope and you get a written number within 24 hours.
