The University of Manchester Software and Data Science group has successfully established specialized development services within their institution:

The "Mobile Development Service" \autocite{manchester_mobile} team consists of RSEs that focus solely on developing and deploying mobile apps.
304+
Without a central RSE department to anchor such specialized expertise, it would probably be infeasible to establish such a service.

Also, having this expertise centralized allows for synergies in the deployment procudure for mobile apps:
