Mobile Apps Customers Actually Open Every Day
Senior engineers building native iOS, native Android and cross-platform mobile apps from kickoff to App Store and beyond.
Mobile is unforgiving — bad performance, awkward navigation or shaky offline behaviour and users are gone. We build mobile teams the way mobile-first companies do: small, senior, opinionated about quality.
Native iOS
Swift / SwiftUI engineers shipping idiomatic, performant iOS apps and watchOS / iPadOS extensions.
Native Android
Kotlin / Jetpack Compose teams targeting modern Android with Material 3 and proper background-task discipline.
Cross-platform & PWA
React Native and Flutter when timeline and shared codebase matter; progressive web apps for lighter use cases.
MVP to scale
Discovery, prototyping, MVP, store submission, post-launch iteration — one team across the whole journey.
Quality & QA
Automated test suites, device-lab coverage, crash reporting and release-train discipline.
Ongoing iteration
Roadmap support, A/B testing, analytics-led feature work and sustained release cadence after launch.

Frequently asked questions
Real questions Australian businesses ask before launching their offshore mobile app development team with ARG-VA.
Your mobile app development team works full-time and exclusively for your business — they're not freelancers juggling clients. ARG-VA handles recruiting, training, payroll, equipment, IT, HR and a dedicated delivery manager, so you get the productivity of an in-house hire at roughly a third of the fully-loaded Australian cost.
Yes. The Philippines is only 2–3 hours behind AEST, so your team can work standard Australian hours (e.g. 9am–6pm Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane) with full overlap. We also support after-hours, weekends and 24/7 coverage when you need it — common for customer support, call centre and trades clients.
Most ARG-VA roles are live within 2–4 weeks from the kick-off call. Single virtual assistant roles can be onboarded in as little as 10 business days; larger teams (5+ seats) typically take 3–4 weeks for proper recruitment, vetting and onboarding to your tools and SOPs.
Pricing is a flat monthly fee per seat in AUD — no surprise add-ons. The fee covers the team member's salary, our management, equipment, internet redundancy, HR and replacement guarantee. Engagements are month-to-month after the initial term, and you can scale seats up or down with 30 days' notice.
Yes. All ARG-VA staff sign NDAs and confidentiality agreements before day one, work on managed devices with endpoint security, and operate from monitored facilities. We support Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), can sign your DPA, and align with frameworks like ISO 27001 controls and PCI scoping for finance and healthcare clients.
You're never stuck with the wrong hire. Every ARG-VA engagement includes a replacement guarantee — if a team member isn't performing or doesn't fit your culture, we replace them at no extra cost. You also interview every shortlisted candidate before they join, so the final pick is always yours.
We specialise in Australian SMEs and growth companies — that's where most of our clients are — but we also support businesses in New Zealand, the UK and the US. Our delivery managers, SOPs and time-zone coverage are built around Australian working culture by default.
