React Native Developer Needed for iOS & Android Dating App

Project Overview We’re building a dating app and need a mobile developer to turn completed UI/UX designs into a working cross-platform mobile application. The product concept is already defined, and the backend is mostly in place. The main need is someone who can build the iOS and Android app, connect it to our existing REST APIs, and prepare it for launch. This is intended to be a clean, simple MVP rather than an overly complex social platform. We care most about a smooth user experience, reliable authentication, and a mobile app that is easy to maintain after launch. What Needs to Be Built The app should be developed using React Native or another suitable cross-platform technology. Designs will be provided, and you’ll be responsible for implementing the screens, navigation, API integration, and app store-ready builds. Core features include: - User registration and login - Profile creation and editing - Match browsing / discovery screens - Basic like or interest flow - Subscription access for premium features - Push notifications - Account settings and basic privacy controls - Integration with the existing backend APIs Technical Requirements The backend is already available, so this role is mainly focused on mobile development and API integration. You should be comfortable working with REST APIs, secure authentication, subscription flows, and mobile push notifications for both iOS and Android. Experience with Stripe, Apple subscriptions, Google Play subscriptions, Firebase Cloud Messaging, App Store Connect, and Google Play Console is a plus. Deliverables - Fully functional React Native mobile app for iOS and Android - API integration with the existing backend - Subscription and notification setup - Testing on real devices - App Store and Google Play deployment support - Clean, maintainable code with setup instructions To Apply Please include: 1. Links to live iOS or Android apps you’ve built 2. Your experience with React Native and REST API integration 3. Examples of subscription or payment features you’ve implemented 4. Your availability and estimated timeline 5. Whether you work independently or with a team How would you handle subscriptions and push notifications in a cross-platform dating app while keeping the app secure and scalable?
