Najednation
The mobile shopping app for a Saudi fashion brand — abayas, dresses, bags, perfume, and more, with wishlists, guest checkout, and send-as-gift. Built in Expo (React Native) and shipped to the App Store with EAS.
Challenge
A heritage fashion brand needed a phone-native store — not a wrapped website. Shoppers in KSA expect catalog, wishlist, checkout, and gifting in Arabic-market retail UX, including buying without an account.
Solution
Built the shopping client in Expo: browse collections, save looks, guest checkout, send-as-gift. EAS Build and EAS Submit for iOS store delivery. Mobile scope — catalog and order APIs stay on the brand’s backend.
Architecture
Expo (React Native) app for iPhone and iPad (iOS 16+)
EAS Build and EAS Submit for App Store binaries
Product catalog: modest fashion, accessories, and beauty
Wishlists and saved looks
Guest checkout and send-as-gift flows
KSA delivery and location-aware shopping
Engineering challenges
Owned the mobile layer in Expo — UI and commerce flows, not a CLI eject.
EAS for cloud builds and App Store submit — repeatable iOS shipping, not a local Xcode lottery.
Guest checkout and gifting as first-class paths, not an afterthought login wall.
