NativeScript developers for existing apps

NativeScript apps need people who know both TypeScript and the native platforms underneath. We match developers who can keep yours shipping or plan a move.

Release builds, not debug

Passing candidates test production builds, signing and permissions. A debug build that works proves very little.

Mobile depth on profiles

NativeScript is often a side skill. Look across profiles for it next to Angular, Vue or native mobile work, and decide who gets a call.

Help scoping the app

If no one in-house knows the app anymore, Lemon helps you describe it and find the right developer.

Hiring Guide: NativeScript Developers

Looking to hire NativeScript developers? :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} is an open-source framework for building truly native mobile applications using web technologies like JavaScript or TypeScript, along with frameworks like :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}, :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} or :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}. It lets you access native iOS and Android APIs through one codebase, enabling high-performance mobile experiences, faster time to market, and reduced development cost. If you’re seeking to build or maintain native-look apps with a unified stack, hiring experienced NativeScript developers ensures you hit performance, UX, and platform-compliance goals.

Why Hire NativeScript Developers?

NativeScript developers bring the best of both worlds: web development speed and native mobile power. With their expertise, you get:

Single codebase for iOS & Android: One TypeScript/JavaScript project drives both platforms with access to native UI and device APIs.

Native performance and UX: Unlike hybrid WebView wrappers, NativeScript renders native UI components and delivers smooth animations.

Faster development & maintenance: Shared UI logic, fewer dependencies, and streamlined build pipelines reduce overhead.

Access to device features: Native APIs like camera, geolocation, sensors, and background services are available natively.

Core Responsibilities of NativeScript Developers

Design, build and maintain cross-platform mobile apps using NativeScript with Angular, Vue, or plain TypeScript.

Implement native UI layouts, animations, and transitions for both iOS and Android.

Integrate mobile-device features like camera, GPS, accelerometer, notifications, Bluetooth, and sensors.

Optimize mobile performance, memory usage, startup time, and battery life.

Manage build pipelines, code signing, App Store / Google Play deployments, and plugin maintenance.

Collaborate with backend API teams to integrate REST/GraphQL services, authentication, offline caching, and sync logic.

Ensure cross-platform consistency, accessibility compliance, and responsive UI across device types and OS versions.

Key Technical Skills to Look For

Languages & Frameworks: JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, Angular or Vue.js, NativeScript CLI.

Mobile knowledge: iOS SDK (Swift/Obj-C basics), Android SDK (Java/Kotlin basics), native plugin development.

UI/UX & Performance: Native UI components, animations, layout optimization, memory profiling, cross-platform quirks.

APIs & Backend Integration: RESTful APIs, GraphQL, WebSockets, offline sync, caching strategies.

Tooling: NativeScript CLI, Webpack, Android Studio/Xcode, emulators and device labs, CI/CD pipelines.

Version Control: Git, GitHub/GitLab, release branching, feature flags.

Testing: Unit tests, end-to-end tests on devices/emulators, App Center/TestFlight deployments.

When to Hire NativeScript Developers

When you want to build mobile apps on iOS and Android using one shared codebase but still deliver native-quality UI and performance.

When you already have web development expertise (JavaScript/TypeScript) and want to extend it to mobile without learning two native stacks.

When you’re maintaining or rewriting a mobile app and want to reduce resource duplication and accelerate feature delivery.

When integrating device hardware features, sensors, offline sync and background jobs along with mobile UI logic.

When you want to align mobile development with your web team under a unified stack and architecture.

How to Hire the Right NativeScript Developer

1) Define Your Mobile Goals

Clarify whether your focus is cross-platform mobile with shared UI and logic, or deep native feature integration (sensors, cameras, offline sync). This helps identify whether you need strictly NativeScript developers or hybrid/full-native specialists.

2) Assess Mobile + Web Hybrid Expertise

Look for candidates who not only understand web frameworks (e.g., Angular or Vue) but also have solid mobile competence—device APIs, performance optimization, native plugin troubleshooting, and store deployments.

3) Interview Questions

What is NativeScript and how does it differ from Cordova or React Native?

How do you access native APIs in a NativeScript app for iOS and Android? Give an example plugin you’ve implemented.

How do you optimize performance in a large NativeScript app? What tools or metrics do you use?

Describe your process for setting up CI/CD for both iOS and Android with NativeScript.

How do you handle offline data sync and background tasks in a cross-platform mobile app?

4) Technical Assessment

Provide a take-home assignment: build a small mobile app using NativeScript (with Angular or Vue) that accesses device camera, fetches data from an API, caches results offline, and works smoothly on a range of devices. Evaluate architecture, code clarity, performance, and cross-platform consistency.

Average Cost of Hiring NativeScript Developers

Rates vary based on experience and complexity of mobile requirements:

Junior Developers (1–3 years): £30–£50/hour — can build straightforward mobile apps with common UI components and shared logic.

Mid-Level Developers (3–6 years): £55–£85/hour — experienced with device APIs, shared modules, performance tuning, and store deployments.

Senior Developers (7+ years): £90–£120/hour — leads architecture, CI/CD, offline sync, native plugin development, and roadmap for mobile platforms.

FAQs About Hiring NativeScript Developers

What does a NativeScript developer do?

A NativeScript developer builds high-quality mobile applications for iOS and Android using JavaScript or TypeScript, shares logic between platforms, and accesses native capabilities while maintaining one codebase.

Is NativeScript still relevant in 2025?

Yes. NativeScript continues to be a strong choice for cross-platform mobile apps that require near-native performance, shared logic, and efficient maintenance across iOS and Android.

How does NativeScript differ from React Native or Flutter?

NativeScript uses web-technologies (TS/JS + Angular/Vue) and renders native UI components directly; React Native uses JavaScript with native components but its paradigm differs; Flutter uses Dart and draws its own UI. NativeScript suits teams with strong web experience seeking native mobile output.

Frequently asked questions

NativeScript itself is completely free and open-source. Download, use it in both personal and commercial projects, fork the code, or modify it in any way without paying licensing fees. No hidden costs are associated with using NativeScript itself.

NativeScript mostly relies on JavaScript and TypeScript for the development of mobile applications. Angular and Vue.js frameworks can also be used just in case some developers need them for better code structure of UI. NativeScript has a feature allowing a developer to write their code in these languages and frameworks while accessing native APIs directly in both iOS and Android.

According to Wikipedia, NativeScript was first publicly released in March 2015 . So, as of today NativeScript is roughly 9 years old.

NativeScript is one of the most powerful cross-platform development frameworks, which supports a single codebase for creating iOS and Android—JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, or Vue.js-based mobile apps. It provides near-native speed and offers direct access to the native API. One small drawback to this is the case where it comes with a learning curve; for instance, developers would have to learn native APIs. Apart from that, there could be fewer third-party libraries available in comparison with some other frameworks. Another point is that applications built using NativeScript can turn out to be bigger in size, and debugging may turn out to be more complicated than usual in a case where there are problems with native code. On the other hand, strong support from its community and ecosystem can balance out these challenges.

The demand for NativeScript developers can vary, but generally, there is a niche demand. NativeScript helps to leverage its ability to create mobile applications with a single codebase for both iOS and Android platforms, using JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, or Vue.js

To hire a NativeScript developer, start by defining project requirements—list necessary skills and experience. Create a detailed job description outlining responsibilities, qualifications, and company overview. Post the job on platforms like LinkedIn, GlassDoor, Indeed, Dice, specialized tech boards, and developer communities to find suitable candidates. Review resumes and portfolios for relevant experience. Conduct technical and behavioral interviews, including coding challenges and reviews. Verify professional references for work history and skills. Offer competitive compensation and benefits, and ensure smooth onboarding with orientation and training. Prioritize candidates who align with team culture and project needs.

Alternatively, Lemon.io simplifies the process: just follow 3 steps—have a discovery call, review 2-3 CVs of pre-screened Meteor Engineers selected from their developer community, and connect with the right engineer.

Lemon.io offers a no-risk paid trial period for new clients – the period up to 20 hours, which allow you to check how the developer works on your tasks before signing up for a subscription.

If something goes wrong and the developer fails to meet expectations, we’ll show you another remote developer with our zero-risk replacement guarantee.
