Why React Native for this
iOS users in India skew towards higher spend, which changes what is worth building. Payment flows, polish and performance justify more investment here than raw user numbers suggest.
React Native is strongest at shared code with your web application and one team for both platforms. For ios app development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: heavy native functionality still needs platform-specific work. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions
How long does App Store review take?
Usually 24 to 48 hours currently, though it varies. The bigger risk is rejection rather than queue time, which is why we build to the guidelines rather than discovering them at submission.
Do we need an Apple developer account?
Yes, an organisation account, which requires a D-U-N-S number. We will walk your team through it. It takes longer than people expect, so we start it early.
Should we build iOS or Android first?
Depends on your users. For consumer India, Android reaches more people; for premium or B2B audiences, iOS frequently converts better. We look at your actual analytics before advising.
