Briefly, what should you know?
The technical specification should clarify the user problem, critical flows, data responsibility and acceptance criteria in the same document before choosing a technology brand.
Who is this guide for?
- Startups that turn a mobile product idea into an MVP
- Teams choosing iOS, Android or cross-platform
- Decision makers who prepare the budget and publication schedule
- Businesses that manage store processes for the first time
We prepared this guide based on Codeexia's project experience, official sources and real questions that are repeated in bid negotiations. It states the variable fees and technical conditions with its sources; We do not present project estimates as a final offer.
The purpose of the technical specification is not to dictate technology to the developer, but to enable different companies to bid on the same product. Good documentation describes the user problem, critical flows, data responsibility, and acceptance conditions.
Start with a one-page product summary
Whose problem does the application solve, what is the available alternative, and what will be the measure of success of the first version? A feature list that does not answer these three questions expands the scope but does not clarify the product.
User roles and flows
Separate roles such as guest, member, administrator, field worker, or business account. Write the registration, login, main task, notification, and support flow for each role. Define the task the user will complete before the number of screens.
Backend and management panel
- What data will be kept and who will be able to see it?
- What records will the administrator edit?
- Is there payment, maps, CRM or ERP integration?
- For what events will notifications be sent?
- Is reporting and exporting required?
How should you write a technology decision?
Instead of saying “Flutter will be used,” write down requirements such as performance, offline operation, camera, location, Bluetooth, or background processing. Ask the company to explain the impact of native and cross-platform options.
Security and personal data
Specify expectations for authentication, role-based authorization, data encryption, logging, account deletion, and backup. Separate who will have legal responsibility for KVKK texts and who will carry out the technical implementation.
Delivery is not complete without acceptance criteria
| Area | Sample acceptance criteria |
|---|---|
| Record | Verification code duration and error states work |
| Performance | The critical screen opens in the agreed time on target devices |
| Broadcasting | Shop forms, images and privacy links are ready |
| Transfer | Code, calculations and installation documentation are delivered |
What should you ask for in the offer attachment?
Phase plan, team roles, assumptions, out-of-scope work, testing approach, store release responsibility, maintenance model and payment schedule should be included in the same answer file.
For technology selection Comparison of native and cross-platform can read or mobile application project interview You can share your MVP scope on the page.
Sources and verification method
The following official sources were used for pricing, policies and technical requirements, which may vary. Project ranges are not proposals, but rather an editorial framework that facilitates comparison.
- Apple — Developer program memberships (access: 31 July 2026)
- Apple — App Review Guidelines (access: 31 July 2026)
- Google Play — Developer account registration (access: 31 July 2026)
- Google Play — App setup and review (access: 31 July 2026)
