Why Cloubay
There are plenty of app studios. What makes us different?
8+ years on the ground delivering production apps, core team ex-BAT (Baidu / Alibaba / Tencent). Four things others can't match.
Launch isn't the end
We stay through the first 100 users. P1 incidents get a 1-hour response, with you handling launch-day feedback as a team.
3 real reference projects
Every sample you see is a real, live customer — not a mockup screenshot. We'll walk you through admin dashboards and active GitHub commits.
One concierge, one of you
One project lead, end to end. No sales→PM→support handoff chain — faster responses, fewer dropped balls.
What's in scope
An app project isn't just code — it's getting the product into users' hands.
11 steps from research to store approval, under one roof — you don't shop separately for design / dev / submission.
iOS submission
Apple Developer account + certs + TestFlight + App Store review + privacy nutrition label + compliance Q&A — all handled.
Android all channels
Huawei / Xiaomi / OPPO / vivo / Tencent App Store first-day launch, unified versioning, per-channel analytics, ANR / crash monitoring.
Miniprograms same source
WeChat + Douyin + Alipay miniprograms from one codebase, backend account / wallet / membership unified, business-account paperwork included.
Native vs cross-platform
Performance-sensitive (camera / video / Bluetooth) → Swift / Kotlin native; timeline-driven → Flutter / RN. We advise, you decide.
Push + IM
JPush / GeTui / Umeng + Rongcloud / Easemob — push + 1-1 + group chat + recall + read receipts; iOS APNs certs maintained for you.
Cloud + CDN + security
Backend + Aliyun / Tencent Cloud + CDN + WAF + encryption + backup — handles 100k DAU on day one.
Three tiers
Pick by product complexity — 80% of cases fit one tier cleanly.

How we work
11 weeks from research to store live, weekly sync.
Not the disappear-for-3-months kind of vendor — every week you see a working build. Don't like something? It gets fixed that week.
01
Week 1
Research
Deep interviews with core users · competitor teardown · user journey map. The week that decides whether this project will succeed.
02
Weeks 2–3
Wireframe + UI
Low-fi → high-fi → design review · Figma source files · clickable prototype. Every tap, every screen, every transition — locked here.
03
Weeks 4–9
Build + QA
6 weeks agile · weekly demo build · QA → self-test → user regression · TestFlight / internal channel always open.
04
Weeks 10–11
Submit + live
Store review + staged rollout + full launch · 30 days of on-site support · first-wave user feedback handled with you.
FAQ
Six things people ask before signing
01
Do I really need all three surfaces?
Not necessarily. If your users live in WeChat, prioritize the miniprogram. If you need backend / B2B tools, native APP first. For overseas business, iOS first. We'll help you decide in the 30-min call — no upselling.
02
Will you give me the source code? Can I switch vendors later?
100% yes. The day the final payment clears: Git repo + Figma source + server credentials + third-party accounts are all handed over. Switching teams is fully supported — we don't do lock-in.
03
What if the store rejects the app?
We carry the risk to launch. Common rejection causes (privacy nutrition label, metadata, ToS, grey-area keywords) we've all hit — we pre-screen against them before submission.
04
What about post-launch bugs? Will it cost extra?
60 / 90 / 180-day warranty depending on tier — covers breakage of features that worked at delivery. New features / changes are quoted separately and approved before we touch anything.
05
Flutter / RN vs native — how big is the stability gap?
For most cases (lists / forms / pay / push) — essentially zero. For video / AR / Bluetooth / high-frequency animation — go native. We'll draw a decision matrix together at project kickoff.
06
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. Standard cadence: 30% kickoff / 30% build / 30% submission / 10% 30 days after launch. Large projects can be on net terms. Monthly payments work too — we write it into the contract.
Want to ship an app — without juggling 4 vendors?
30 free minutes — we'll help you decide native vs cross-platform, in-house vs outsourced. If we're a bad fit we'll say so.
