Development: Developers write the code to build the app's functionality and features, using programming languages like Flutter, Java or Kotlin for Android apps and Swift or Objective-C for iOS apps.
Testing: The app undergoes rigorous testing to identify and fix any bugs, errors, or performance issues. This includes functional testing, usability testing, and compatibility testing on different devices and operating systems.
Deployment: Once the app is tested and ready, it is submitted to the respective app stores (e.g., Apple App Store, Google Play Store) for approval and distribution.
