About App Development at Squarebrackets
A banking app that freezes when the train enters a tunnel. A checkout screen that loses the cart when the phone rotates. Mobile engineers get paid to prevent exactly those bugs, and this hub groups every mobile app development course we run for Android and iOS, in the order worth taking them. Your code runs on someone else's phone, and the operating system can pause it, kill it or cut its network at any moment. It's like cooking in a friend's kitchen where they might switch off the gas mid-recipe. The difference is that Android and iOS warn you first, through lifecycle callbacks (hooks the OS calls on pause or resume), and handling those well is most of the craft.
These tracks suit freshers who want a first portfolio that runs on a real phone, web developers moving to mobile, and people from non-CS backgrounds who learn best by building something they can hold. You need basic programming comfort: variables, loops, functions, and reading an error message without panicking. One hardware note matters. Every iOS build is compiled and signed by Xcode, which only runs on macOS, and that includes the iOS half of a Flutter app. On Windows or Linux you can still learn Flutter, React Native and native Android completely, and React Native with Expo can hand iOS builds to EAS Build (Expo's hosted build service), which runs Xcode on Macs in the cloud.
Treat the four courses as two branches rather than one queue. The course cards list React Native last, but read it as the alternative first step, not the final one. The default route starts cross-platform with App Development with Flutter & Dart, a beginner-level, four-month track that ships a whole app from a single Dart codebase. If you already write JavaScript, the React Native course replaces it as your first step: it opens with its own JavaScript and React foundations module and adds Expo and EAS Build for store releases, and React JS with Gen AI is there if you want more component and hooks depth first. After either one, go native. Android Development with Kotlin comes next because it's beginner-friendly and teaches what interviewers probe: coroutines (Kotlin's lightweight background tasks), Flow (a stream of values over time) and MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel, which keeps UI apart from logic). It's also a sound place to begin if you already know Android is your platform. iOS Development with Swift sits last because it's intermediate and assumes you're comfortable with app architecture before SwiftUI, Swift Concurrency and SwiftData.
Every track consumes real REST APIs (the web endpoints your app pulls data from) over flaky networks and persists data offline: Room on Android, Core Data or SwiftData on iOS, and a dedicated local data module in both the Flutter and React Native syllabi. Each one wires up Firebase and publishes to Play Console or the App Store, which is where signing keys, version codes and a surprise review rejection catch most first-timers. At work, releases go out carefully: a staged rollout to a small share of users, with Firebase Crashlytics watched before anyone widens it. Later, if you want to build the API your app talks to, the Go backend course is a natural follow-on, the MERN microservices track keeps React Native developers in JavaScript on the server, and Python full stack with FastAPI suits anyone heading towards AI-backed apps.
Roles hiring for these skills are titled Android Engineer, iOS Engineer, Flutter Developer, React Native Developer or plain Mobile Engineer, at product companies, agencies building client apps, and enterprise teams maintaining internal apps. Interviews go well past syntax. Expect to explain what happens to screen state on rotation or process death, how you'd structure a feature with MVVM, how you cancel a network call when the user leaves a screen, and how you keep a long list smooth on a low-end phone. Product companies often add a data structures round too: Kotlin learners will feel at home in the Java DSA course, React Native developers may prefer DSA in JavaScript, and the linked list placement roadmap is a free place to start practising.
To choose where to start: Flutter if you're new to programming and want one codebase, React Native if JavaScript is already your language, Kotlin if Android is the platform you want to work on, and Swift once you have a Mac and some app-building behind you. Cohorts run live online in IST (India Standard Time, UTC+5:30) with recordings, so you can join from anywhere and still keep up when a session clashes with work. A mobile app development course only pays off if you finish with apps running on a real device, so build every project it sets.
About App Development training at Squarebrackets
This category holds 3 programmes at beginner and intermediate level. Each one is taught live by engineers who build production systems in the same technologies — which is the reason the syllabus tracks what teams actually run rather than what a textbook settled on three years ago.
Every programme is built around work you keep: something you can open in an interview, walk through line by line, and defend under questioning. You get the batch recordings for life, and placement support — resume review, LinkedIn optimisation, mock interviews and employer referrals — runs alongside the course rather than starting after it.
Not sure which of these fits? The free tutorials cover much of the same ground at your own pace and cost nothing, and the six questions worth asking any institute will tell you more than a comparison table will.

App Development course questions
Which mobile app development framework should I learn first?
If you're new to programming, start with Flutter: one Dart codebase builds for both Android and iOS, and the Flutter and Dart course is beginner-level. If you already write JavaScript, React Native reuses that knowledge. Pick one cross-platform framework, ship a complete app with it, then add a native platform.
Do I need a Mac to learn iOS app development?
Mostly, yes. Xcode compiles and signs every iOS build and runs only on macOS, so plan for a Mac before the Swift course. React Native can build iOS on Expo's hosted Macs via EAS Build, Flutter on a cloud build service such as Codemagic, but the iOS Simulator needs a Mac. Android works fully on Windows or Linux.
Is Kotlin better than Java for Android development?
For new Android work, yes. Google has called Android development Kotlin-first since 2019, and Jetpack Compose, the current UI toolkit, is Kotlin-only. Coroutines make background work such as network calls far easier to cancel correctly. You'll still meet Java in older codebases, and Android Development with Kotlin teaches the modern stack from scratch.
Flutter or React Native: which one should I pick?
Pick React Native if you already know JavaScript and React, because you'll reuse that knowledge and the npm ecosystem. Pick Flutter if you're starting fresh and want consistent UI across platforms, since it draws its own widgets rather than wrapping native ones. Both ship real production apps; the React Native course covers Expo and EAS Build for releases.
How long does it take to become a job-ready mobile developer?
Plan on four to five months of steady work for one platform, which matches the length of our Flutter, Kotlin and React Native courses. Job-ready means more than finishing lessons: you need two or three apps that handle offline data, failed network calls and screen rotation without crashing, and you should be able to explain those choices.
What do mobile app developer interviews test?
Expect lifecycle questions: what happens to screen state on rotation or when the OS kills the app in the background. Interviewers also probe MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) structure, cancelling coroutines or Swift tasks when a user leaves, offline caching and smooth long lists on low-end phones. Product companies often add a data structures round and live coding of a small screen.
Are the classes live, and can I join from outside India?
Yes. Every course runs as a live online cohort in IST, with recordings for sessions you miss. Learners across Delhi NCR, the rest of India and other countries join the same batch, so you can attend from Ghaziabad or Toronto. You'll need a laptop and stable internet, plus a Mac for the iOS track.
How many App Development courses does Squarebrackets offer?
3 at the moment, spanning beginner and intermediate levels. They include React Native, iOS Development with Swift and Android Development with Kotlin. The catalogue changes as batches open and close, so this page reflects what is currently running.
How long does a App Development course take?
Programmes in this category run around 5 Months (20 Weeks). Ask about the batch you are considering — the schedule and the total contact hours are set per batch, not per category.
Do I need experience before starting a App Development course?
Not for every course here — this category includes beginner-level programmes that start from fundamentals. The intermediate and advanced ones assume you can already write and debug code comfortably. If you are unsure which fits, the free tutorials are a fair way to test your footing before committing.
Are App Development classes live, and can I join from my timezone?
Both, and you can mix them within a batch. Live sessions run Monday to Saturday, 10:00–19:00 IST, taught by engineers from the studio that builds our client work. Enrolled learners keep lifetime access to their batch recordings.
Something not answered here? Ask us — a counsellor will talk through which programme in App Development actually fits, including when the answer is none of them.
