Mobile apps shaped for
today's Lebanon reality.
USD-native delivery from day one — designed around, not fighting with, the Lebanese banking reality.
Darb Productions builds iOS and Android apps for Lebanese businesses with a build shaped for the local reality — offline-first support where relevant, smart image compression for low-bandwidth networks, and a payment model designed to route around banking constraints. Areeba as the primary rail.
Darb Productions is a mobile app development company working with Lebanese businesses on a delivery and payment model designed for the local reality — remotely from its Riyadh headquarters, building native iOS and Android apps and cross-platform React Native apps for startups, SMEs, and enterprises in Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon, Tyre, Zahle and every other city. There is no in-country branch in Lebanon; the model is remote-first. App Store and Google Play accounts are opened in the name of your Lebanese Ministry of Economy and Trade-registered company; we handle the DUNS number step. Mobile payment integrations handled in-house: Areeba, Whish Money, Bob Finance, PayTabs, cash in USD. Pricing is flexible (fixed price, retainer, or 12-month instalments from USD 229/month) — USD-invoiced from the Saudi entity.
What you get, beyond the code.
One team owns design, iOS, Android, and backend
No four-vendor chain. Same team designs the flow, ships the iOS build, the Android build, the backend, and the App Store submission. One accountability line for the whole product — critical when you're paying from Lebanon for delivery from Riyadh.
Lebanon's mobile payment stack, wired properly
Areeba, Whish Money, Bob Finance, PayTabs, cash in USD — integrated with the correct SDK for each, tested end-to-end on real local cards and phone numbers, not just sandbox. International cards (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay) supported too.
Arabic RTL as a first-class citizen
The app ships fully bilingual (Arabic + English) with proper RTL layout, native Arabic fonts, and reversed animations — not the broken RTL you get when Arabic is bolted on later.
App Store and Google Play submission handled
Apple Developer + Google Play Console accounts opened under your Lebanese Ministry of Economy and Trade trade licence, DUNS number setup, TestFlight builds, App Store review responses. You don't need to learn App Store Connect to ship.
Backend that scales with local internet reality
PostgreSQL, Node.js, monitoring — plus offline-first patterns for zones with unreliable connectivity, smart image compression for 3G/4G audiences, and hosting close to the region for lower latency.
You own the source code
On any of our payment models, the full source code (iOS, Android, backend, deployment config) transfers to your GitHub organisation. No SDK lock-in, no black-box runtime, no vendor gate.
From brief to App Store live.
Discovery + scope (remote)
One-week paid discovery over Zoom + WhatsApp: user flows, screen inventory, backend model, payment integration list (Areeba, Whish Money...), cross-border payment plan.
Design + prototype
Interactive Figma prototype. You click through the app before we write code. Every screen signed off in Arabic and English before development starts.
Two-week build sprints
Every sprint ships to TestFlight and Play Beta on your team's phones. You use the app while we build it.
Store submission + launch
Apple Developer + Google Play Console opened under your Lebanese Ministry of Economy and Trade trade licence, DUNS registration, submission, reviewer responses, staged rollout coordinated with your marketing.
Ongoing updates + support
Post-launch: OS updates, Apple/Google policy changes, bug fixes, new-feature sprints. Retainer or per-sprint pricing.

Everything Lebanese founders ask us.
Do you have a branch in Lebanon?
No. Darb Productions is headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and delivers to Lebanese clients remotely — daily WhatsApp, weekly Zoom, GitHub for code, Figma for design. All contracts and invoices are issued from our Saudi entity. If you need someone physically on-site for a specific milestone, we quote it as a separately-billed travel line.
How much does a mobile app cost in Lebanon?
On Darb's instalment plan, a store + iOS + Android package starts at USD 229/month for 12 months. Enterprise or custom-integration apps are quoted separately, typically USD 15,000 to USD 90,000+ depending on scope.
How does payment work given current Lebanese banking constraints?
USDT settlement, or a USD wire from a Lebanese bank (BLF, Byblos, Audi) if the account allows, or payment via a Gulf-based or Turkish representative acting for the client. Three channels available — the client picks the one that fits.
Do you price in USD or LBP?
USD only. The Lebanese market has been operating on the de facto USD standard for years; every tech service we offer is USD-priced with invoicing from our Saudi entity.
Do you integrate Areeba, Whish, and the Lebanese payment rails?
Yes. Areeba, Whish Money, and Bob Finance are the primary e-payment rails in Lebanon; we integrate each via their official APIs.
Do you understand the infrastructure realities in Lebanon (power cuts, slow connectivity)?
Yes. We design products with offline-first patterns where relevant, smart image compression, and progressive loading so they perform smoothly on intermittent or slow networks — the reality across much of Lebanon.
Ready to ship your Lebanese app?
Fastest path is WhatsApp — send a one-paragraph brief and we reply within business hours (Riyadh time) with a fit read and rough scope. Cross-border by design, tuned for the Lebanese market.
