iOS and Android apps
Mobile app development in Bahrain
iOS and Android apps for Bahraini retailers, service companies and financial businesses, with payments, security and bilingual screens designed together.
Apps where payment and security come first
In Bahrain, many app briefs start with payments. We integrate BenefitPay alongside Apple Pay and cards, keep card data off the device, and protect accounts with biometric login and device binding where the risk justifies it. For finance-related apps we add certificate pinning, jailbreak and root detection, and a security-focused test pass before each store release.
Retail, delivery and loyalty apps
For retailers and restaurants in Manama, Seef and Riffa, the app usually extends systems they already run. We connect it to your POS or online store stock, so customers only see what is available, and to your loyalty rules, so points earned in a shop appear in the app. Ordering apps include live driver tracking and delivery zones you draw on a map, from Muharraq to Riffa.
Publishing, updates and support
Apps are released under your company's Apple and Google developer accounts. We write Arabic and English store listings, show 10% VAT on in-app receipts, and set up crash reporting and analytics before launch. After release we test the app on each new iOS and Android version as it arrives, so updates to the operating system do not break it, and fix critical issues under an agreed support plan.

Questions
Mobile app development: common questions
Usually, yes. Your company needs a merchant arrangement with a provider that supports BenefitPay, and we integrate their SDK or payment API into the app and your back end. We then test successful payments, cancellations, timeouts and refunds, and confirm that each payment is recorded against the right order before release.
