Built a mobile app with Amazon Q Developer?
We'll make it production-ready.
Mobile apps live on someone's phone — the most personal device they own. Users expect instant load times, smooth animations, offline support, and zero crashes. AI tools can scaffold a mobile UI fast, but the gap between a working prototype and an app that survives App Store review, handles spotty network connections, and doesn't drain the battery is where most AI-built mobile apps fail.
Mobile App challenges in Amazon Q Developer apps
Building a mobile app with Amazon Q Developer is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
App Store and Play Store approval
Apple and Google have strict review guidelines covering permissions, privacy policies, content ratings, and technical requirements. AI-generated apps frequently get rejected for missing privacy disclosures, requesting unnecessary permissions, or failing to handle edge cases that reviewers specifically test for.
Offline functionality and network handling
Mobile users lose connectivity constantly — in elevators, on subways, in rural areas. AI tools build apps that assume a constant internet connection. Without offline caching, request queuing, and graceful degradation, your app shows blank screens or crashes when the network drops.
Device fragmentation and screen sizes
Your app needs to work on hundreds of different devices — from small Android phones to large tablets, with notches, punch-holes, and different aspect ratios. AI-generated layouts often break on devices other than the one used during development.
Performance and battery drain
Mobile users notice when an app drains their battery or feels sluggish. Unoptimized rendering, excessive API polling, background processes that never stop, and memory leaks are common in AI-generated mobile code. These issues cause uninstalls faster than missing features.
Push notifications
Setting up push notifications requires server-side infrastructure, device token management, platform-specific configuration (APNs for iOS, FCM for Android), and proper permission handling. AI tools generate a basic notification call but skip the entire delivery pipeline.
Secure local storage
Mobile apps store auth tokens, user preferences, and cached data on-device. AI tools often use insecure storage methods (plain shared preferences or AsyncStorage) instead of encrypted keystores. Anyone with physical access to the device could extract sensitive data.
What we check in your Amazon Q Developer mobile app
Common Amazon Q Developer issues we fix
Beyond mobile app-specific issues, these are Amazon Q Developer patterns we commonly fix.
Overly permissive IAM policies generated with wildcard actions and resources
Amazon Q often generates IAM policies with `*` wildcards for actions or resources as a starting point, which violates the principle of least privilege. These policies should be scoped to specific actions and resource ARNs before being applied in production.
Lambda cold start latency not addressed in generated function configurations
Generated Lambda functions use default memory and timeout settings without considering cold start impact. Functions with heavy initialization code (loading models, establishing DB connections) need provisioned concurrency or memory tuning, which Amazon Q does not configure.
Generated CDK code creates AWS resources without cost estimation or tagging
Amazon Q CDK suggestions deploy resources without cost-tracking tags or budget guardrails, making it easy to inadvertently provision expensive resources (NAT gateways, multi-AZ RDS instances) without visibility into the cost impact.
DynamoDB access patterns generated without consideration for partition key hot spots
Generated DynamoDB table designs and query patterns sometimes use partition keys that distribute poorly under load — such as a status field with few values — creating hot partitions that throttle at scale.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a mobile app with Amazon Q Developer?
Amazon Q Developer is a great starting point for a mobile app. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but mobile apps have specific requirements — app store and play store approval and offline functionality and network handling — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Amazon Q Developer leave in mobile apps?
Common issues include: overly permissive iam policies generated with wildcard actions and resources, lambda cold start latency not addressed in generated function configurations, generated cdk code creates aws resources without cost estimation or tagging. For a mobile app specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for app store and play store approval.
How do I make my Amazon Q Developer mobile app production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Amazon Q Developer-built mobile apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Amazon Q Developer-built mobile app?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger mobile app projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
