Looking for experienced app development companies Please list the links of the social networking apps you have developed before Please do not give links which do not work and also can't provide links of apps you have developed due to confidentiality. I want to bring a new, video social networking experience to life on both iOS and Android. The core of the product is simple: users sign up through their existing social media accounts, record or upload short videos, share them to a public or friends-only feed, go live straight from their phones, and chat instantly with each other inside the app. Key features to build • Seamless social-media login (Facebook, Google, Apple, etc.) • Video upload with automatic compression and cloud storage • Live streaming with real-time comments and viewer counts • In-app messaging that supports text, emojis, and video links • Push notifications for follows, likes, messages, and live events • Profile pages, follow system, and discover feed Tech expectations A single codebase—Flutter, React Native, or another robust cross-platform stack—will keep future maintenance practical while giving native-level performance for video handling. The backend should be scalable (Node.js, Firebase, or similar), prepared for adaptive bitrate streaming (HLS) and chat in real time (WebSockets). Clean, well-documented code and a hand-off package that my team can extend later are essential. Acceptance criteria 1. Both App Store and Google Play builds ready for submission. 2. All listed features tested on current OS versions and major device sizes. 3. Source code, environment setup guide, and API documentation delivered. With these pieces in place, I’ll be able to focus on growing the community while you concentrate on delivering a rock-solid, engaging app experience.

Hi — Elias here from Miami. I understand you're looking to create a video-sharing social networking app for both iOS and Android. This type of platform can foster engagement, but it also presents specific technical challenges. What usually matters most here is ensuring a seamless user experience while managing video streaming effectively. A common issue in systems like this is the complexity of scaling and maintaining performance during peak usage. The tricky part is integrating backend services and ensuring smooth interactions between user roles. My approach would involve using a robust architecture that prioritizes stability and scalability. Leveraging React Native for cross-platform efficiency, I would ensure the backend can handle video processing and storage reliably. This setup allows for future expansion as your user base grows. I have experience with similar platforms, focusing on user engagement and performance optimization, which equips me to foresee potential pitfalls and address them proactively. A few questions to better understand the scope: Q1 – What user roles do you envision (e.g., content creators, viewers, admins)? Q2 – Are there specific video features or integrations you have in mind (e.g., live streaming, editing tools)? Q3 – What are your expectations regarding scaling as the user base grows? Happy to go through the details and suggest the best technical approach. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Howdy, For a video first social app, the real challenge is keeping video smooth while handling uploads, live content, messaging and social activity without making the app feel heavy. I’d use Flutter for a maintainable cross platform codebase and structure the backend so video processing, real time features, and social activity can scale independently as the user base grows. I can build the complete core experience including social login, profiles, follows, video feed, uploads, live streaming with comments and viewer counts, real time messaging, and push notifications. I’ll also handle the App Store and Google Play builds along with proper handoff documentation. I can share a similar mobile or social app example in chat so you can review the quality and development approach before moving forward.

Hi, You're building a cross-platform video social app with social login, video upload, live streaming, and in-app chat. The challenge is delivering a clean codebase that performs reliably across devices and networks while handling media and real-time events. I've helped similar consumer apps with media pipelines, HLS, and WebSocket-based chat. I'd start by validating current flows, isolating media and live paths, then iterate against real usage patterns with a small, test-first build. One technical risk / key challenge: Managing live chat latency under varying networks while keeping the app bundle reasonable. 1) How should streams behave if the connection blips and the feed reconnects? 2) What deployment constraints and data regions are planned? If we're aligned, I’d be happy to walk you through the implementation plan before we get started. Best regards, Brandon

hello, the item that decides whether you ever ship is not on your feature list. any app carrying user generated video plus live streaming has to pass Apple's guideline 1.2, which means a content filter, in app reporting, user blocking, published terms with no tolerance for abusive content, and a real commitment to remove flagged content within twenty four hours. apps get rejected on exactly this, repeatedly, after the build is finished. so moderation tooling is part of the MVP, not phase two. on live, i would not touch raw WebRTC. a stream that buffers is worse than having no live feature at all, since nobody returns for a second one, and getting reliable delivery across Australian mobile networks yourself is months of work. LiveKit or Agora for ingest and real time comments, HLS for playback and replay. Flutter or React Native for the app, with the camera and upload path written natively where it matters, since compression and resumable upload on flaky connections is where cross platform gets thin. worth flagging plainly, this scope is a multiple of the posted budget, and streaming egress is also a recurring monthly cost. worth cutting a first release. what is the realistic peak concurrent viewers on one stream? is moderation reactive on reports, or do you want automated screening at upload?

The main challenge here is not the social feed itself, but getting video upload, compression, live streaming, real-time chat, and notifications working reliably across both platforms. I’d use React Native for the shared app layer, with Node.js for the backend and dedicated services for cloud video processing, HLS streaming, and WebSocket-based chat rather than pushing those workloads into the mobile app. I’d also keep the architecture modular so the feed, messaging, live sessions, and video pipeline can evolve independently as usage grows. Do you already have a preferred video/live streaming provider, or should that be included in the technical setup?

Hello!, I am a Florida-based senior software engineer and I’d love to help bring this video social networking app to life for iOS and Android. The biggest risk with an app like this is trying to build too much at once. I’d keep it focused and build it in phases: first the MVP with video upload, feed, profiles, likes/comments, and discovery, then the backend for auth, media handling, notifications, and moderation, and finally performance testing so streaming stays smooth as usage grows. I care a lot about making the first version feel fast, simple, and addictive. That usually makes the difference between an app that launches properly and one that gets stuck in endless revisions. Relevant work examples: - a short-form fitness video app with creator profiles and feed ranking - a local community media app with upload, chat, and notifications - a niche learning app with video lessons and progress tracking A few questions so I can be precise: 1) Do you want a strict MVP first, or should we include follow graphs, DMs, and recommendations now? 2) Will users upload videos directly in-app, and do you already have a preferred storage or streaming setup? 3) Is content moderation needed in v1, or can it come after launch? If you want someone who pays attention to the details and can map the quickest path to a solid launch, I’m ready. -James

Building a video social app like this within AUD$5000 is tight but doable if we focus on core functions first and keep the tech stack streamlined. For social logins, I suggest prioritizing Facebook and Google to start, since Apple requires additional compliance that can add time. For video upload, using Firebase Storage with built-in compression and auto-scaling would keep costs down and simplify backend work. Live streaming with real-time chat can leverage WebSockets hosted via Firebase or a Node.js server supporting adaptive bitrate streaming (HLS). I’ve helped a client build a similar social video app using React Native and Firebase that handled live streams and chats smoothly, and we managed to deliver on schedule with solid documentation for their team to extend later. Do you already have preferences for Flutter vs React Native? Also, do you want live streams saved for replay, or only live? I can set up the entire pipeline, including the push notifications, user profiles, and discover feed with scalable backend logic. I propose breaking delivery into milestones: login and upload, streaming and chat, then polish and testing. Ready to start building your MVP and hit app store submissions fast.

Hi, I can build your cross-platform video social networking app for the fixed AUD $5,000 budget, with a practical MVP architecture that covers the core user experience and leaves the backend ready for future scaling. I would use Flutter for iOS/Android and Node.js with a scalable backend. For video, I’d implement compressed uploads with cloud storage and structure the system for HLS/adaptive streaming. Real-time features such as live comments, viewer counts and messaging can use WebSockets, with push notifications handled through Firebase/FCM and Apple Push Notification services. The main implementation would cover: • Facebook/Google/Apple authentication • User profiles, follows and discover feed • Short-video recording/upload and compression • Public and friends-only video feeds • Live streaming with comments and viewer counts • Real-time messaging with text, emojis and video links • Likes, follows and live-event notifications • Responsive iOS and Android UI • Backend APIs, database and media storage • Testing across major device sizes and current OS versions • App Store/Google Play submission-ready builds • Complete source code, setup documentation and API documentation I would divide the work into milestones so you can verify authentication/feed first, then video and social features, followed by live streaming/chat, testing and final delivery. I’m ready to review your preferred UI/wireframes and define the MVP structure before development begins.

I can build this as a scalable cross-platform video social app, with the architecture designed around the demanding parts first: video processing, live streaming, real-time chat and notifications. I’d recommend **Flutter** for the mobile apps, with **Node.js/NestJS** for the backend, PostgreSQL for core data, cloud object storage/CDN for videos, and **HLS/ABR streaming** for reliable playback. WebSockets can handle real-time comments, messaging and viewer updates, while FCM/APNs will manage push notifications. Core implementation would cover: • Facebook, Google & Apple authentication • Video recording/upload, compression and cloud processing • Public/friends-only feeds and discovery • Live streaming with comments and viewer counts • Real-time messaging with media/video links • Profiles, follows, likes and notifications • Scalable API and storage architecture • App Store & Google Play production builds I’d structure development in milestones: architecture/UI → authentication & profiles → video/feed system → live streaming & realtime communication → notifications → testing, optimisation and store preparation. The codebase will be modular, documented and handed over with environment setup instructions and API documentation so your team can continue development confidently. I’d be happy to discuss your expected launch scale and live-streaming provider preference before finalising the architecture and milestones.
