First and foremost, I would challenge you to test the user experience and prove the concept of your product before building a mobile app. Mobile app development is not cheap and if you get the feature set wrong from a user standpoint, you will have spent money to develop blindly.

After spending alot of time interviewing developers for many years. I think the next thing to do is to find a problem to solve.

Hi! First of all i recommend to pitch your product to a community that represents your market , then give them free access to basic features that will complete most common scenarios and create premium features that will convert happy customers to paid users. I'd be happy to talk further with yo...
Better than choose an architecture and try to build the server side of your app, I suggest you to try to find a mate that helps you and was your cofounder.
