How to build a Solana DApp for iOS and Android in 15 minutes, no back end needed
Developers can build cross-platform Solana mobile apps with wallet integration, token actions and NFTs in just 15 minutes.

Key takeaways:
Solana now offers a mobile-first developer toolkit with wallet adapters, transaction helpers and templates.

Developers can use React Native to build iOS and Android apps simultaneously.

Deep-link wallet connections (e.g., Phantom, Backpack) eliminate the need for custom back-end integrations.

Apps can fetch balances, NFTs and even trigger swaps or mints using Solana RPC directly.

Open-source tools like Solana Mobile App Kit allow zero-infrastructure deployments.

Building decentralized applications (DApps) used to be complex, especially for mobile. Developers had to juggle back-end services, manage wallet integrations and deal with cross-platform quirks, but in 2025, that’s changed.
