Enterprise React Native apps that your users and infosec can agree on
You are not looking for "an app". You are responsible for revenue, operations, or security, and you need a mobile channel that ships fast, passes review with legal and infosec, and does not turn into a maintenance headache six months later.
BYBOWU is a React Native and Expo focused team based in Phoenix, AZ and working with enterprises and growth-stage companies across the US and worldwide. We design and deliver cross-platform apps that feel native, integrate cleanly with your existing stack, and align with SOC 2, HIPAA, and similar expectations.
The problems we help you avoid
Most enterprise mobile initiatives do not fail on ideas, they fail on execution details that were ignored at the start.
- Runaway budgets and timelines from building and maintaining separate native apps for iOS and Android.
- Security gaps around auth, storage, and device management that show up just as you are ready to launch.
- Poor field performance when networks are unreliable, causing failed syncs, rework, and support tickets.
- Fragile integrations with ERP, CRM, or identity providers that break every time a backend team ships a change.
- No clear owner after launch, so you end up with a black-box app nobody wants to touch or update.
Our enterprise React Native development process is built to handle those risks up front so you can ship once and scale with confidence.
How we design and build enterprise React Native + Expo apps
We use React Native and Expo to deliver near-native experiences on iOS and Android from a single, TypeScript-first codebase, without cutting corners on security, performance, or governance.
- One codebase, two platforms using React Native with Expo EAS Build and Submit for efficient, repeatable releases to the App Store, Google Play, or internal enterprise stores.
- Performance by design with Hermes, JSI/TurboModules, React Native Reanimated, bundle splitting, and heavy work moved off the main thread for fast cold starts and smooth interactions.
- Offline-first behavior using encrypted local storage, robust caching, conflict resolution, and background sync so field teams can keep working even on poor connections.
- Enterprise-grade integrations via secure adapters for Okta, Azure AD, Auth0, Salesforce, ServiceNow, SAP, custom REST/GraphQL APIs, and your existing analytics stack.
- Observability baked in with Sentry, Firebase/Crashlytics, and Datadog or similar platforms for telemetry, error tracking, and performance monitoring.
- Safe rapid iteration using over-the-air updates (Expo Updates or CodePush) inside the guardrails of your release and compliance processes.
Under the hood we keep the stack pragmatic and maintainable: React Native 0.74+, Expo SDK 51+, React Navigation, Redux Toolkit or Zustand, TanStack Query, strict linting, automated tests with Jest, React Native Testing Library, Detox, and CI/CD via GitHub Actions or Bitrise.
Security, compliance, and architecture you can defend
Security is not a feature at the end of the project. We design mobile apps that can live comfortably inside environments with SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI DSS requirements.
Typical controls we implement for enterprise React Native apps include:
- Identity and access with SSO using OAuth2/OIDC or SAML, MFA, biometric unlock, and step-up authentication for sensitive actions.
- Secure storage and transport using OS keychain/Keystore, encrypted local storage, token rotation, TLS 1.2+, mutual TLS where required, and strict certificate pinning.
- Runtime protection such as jailbreak/root detection, device attestation, anti-tamper checks, and code obfuscation.
- Data governance with PII tagging, field-level encryption, retention rules, and detailed audit logging to support internal and external audits.
- MDM compatibility including integration with Intune, MobileIron, or VMware Workspace ONE for remote wipe, DLP, and managed configuration.
To support your auditors and security reviewers, we provide architecture and data-flow diagrams, threat models, and mapping to SOC 2 trust criteria or HIPAA safeguards aligned with your environment.
Our delivery process, built for busy decision makers
You get a structured, transparent path from idea to rollout. No black boxes, no surprise scope changes, and clear owners on both sides.
-
1. Discovery and planning
We align with your stakeholders on KPIs, key user journeys, constraints, and existing systems. You receive a high-level roadmap, risk register, and estimates connected to real outcomes like revenue, efficiency, or compliance.
-
2. Architecture and UX
We define the target architecture, including security and integrations, and create UX/UI prototypes. You see workflows and key screens before we commit to full build.
-
3. Build and integrate
Our engineers implement a modular, TypeScript-first React Native app, integrate your APIs and identity provider, and add native Swift/Kotlin modules where performance demands it.
-
4. Quality, performance, and compliance checks
We run automated and manual tests, cross-device and cross-OS checks, performance profiling, and security best-practice reviews long before any production rollout.
-
5. Release, training, and scale-up
We manage Expo EAS builds, app store submissions or MDM distribution, phased rollout, and training. You get documentation and a clear handover plan, plus optional post-launch support.
Typical timelines range from a few weeks for a focused pilot to several months for a multi-team enterprise rollout. We will give you realistic ranges and phasing options before you commit.

Proof it works in the real world
Marketplace teams needing mobile reach
For marketplace-style platforms like those in our MonoDrop and BEZET case studies, we have extended web products into React Native apps that reuse backend logic while giving buyers and sellers a fast, native-feeling experience.
High-volume consumer apps
Projects similar to SixZeros and Roome show how we handle user onboarding, secure sessions, and push notifications at scale without adding operational overhead for the client teams.
Internal tools and automation
For clients running complex operations, including those using automation and chatbots like our Telegram Bots work, we have designed React Native apps that sit on top of existing systems and simplify daily workflows for staff.

Questions founders usually ask
Is React Native really suitable for enterprise-level apps?
Yes, when it is engineered correctly. React Native powers apps for large companies in finance, retail, logistics, and healthcare. With the right architecture, native modules where they matter, and proper CI/CD, you get near-native performance with a lower total cost of ownership than two separate native codebases.
How does Expo fit into an enterprise deployment model?
Expo EAS lets us build, sign, and submit your apps consistently while keeping full control over configuration. We use Expo Updates and EAS Build/Submit in managed or bare workflows, aligned with your MDM and release process, so over-the-air updates stay inside your QA, security, and legal guardrails.
Can you work within HIPAA, SOC 2, or GDPR expectations?
We design controls and documentation to support your compliance program, including encryption, access control, audit logging, retention policies, and incident-response playbooks. We also coordinate with your legal and security teams so vendor selection and data flows align with your broader governance.
What budgets and timelines should we plan for?
Simple pilots or focused MVPs usually fall in the tens of thousands of dollars and take a few weeks to a couple of months. Complex enterprise apps with deep integrations, strict compliance, and multiple stakeholder groups can run longer and require staged rollouts. After a short discovery, we share realistic ranges and phasing options before you commit.
Our current app is already in the stores. Can you improve it instead of starting over?
Often, yes. We start with an audit of your existing React Native (or native) app, identify what can be kept, and propose a modernization or consolidation path. Sometimes this is a staged refactor, sometimes a new React Native codebase that reuses your APIs and services.
What does onboarding with BYBOWU look like?
We start with a focused discovery workshop to clarify goals, constraints, integrations, and success metrics. You receive a written plan with scope, budget ranges, timelines, and technical recommendations. If you are deciding between native and cross-platform, we walk you through the trade-offs for your specific use case so you can choose with confidence.
