What We Build

Native iPhone & iPad Apps

We build fully native iOS applications in Swift and SwiftUI — tuned for the latest iPhone and iPad hardware, optimised for battery life, and compliant with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines from day one.

Consumer Mobile Products

Social platforms, on-demand services, fintech apps, health and fitness tools, and marketplace products — we design and build iOS apps that earn strong App Store ratings and keep users coming back.

Enterprise iOS Solutions

Offline-first architecture, Face ID / Touch ID authentication, MDM compatibility, and SSO integration — we build enterprise iOS tools that IT teams approve and employees actually use in the field.

Apple Ecosystem Integration

iCloud sync, HealthKit, ARKit, CoreML, Apple Pay, SiriKit, and Widget extensions — we build apps that feel genuinely native by using the full depth of Apple's frameworks where it adds real user value.

UI/UX Design for iOS

Designed in Figma with SwiftUI in mind. Our interfaces follow Apple's HIG, support Dynamic Type and dark mode, and pass accessibility audits — so your app works for every user on every device.

App Store Optimisation & Submission

We handle metadata, screenshots, App Preview videos, keyword strategy, content rating, and every review cycle until your app is live — and we set it up to rank from launch day.

AI-POWERED

Delivered faster with AI tooling

We don't just write code; we orchestrate intelligence. By integrating Copilot-assisted generation and AI-driven automated testing, we reduce time-to-market by up to 40%.

Copilot-Assisted Generation

LLM-backed development to eliminate boilerplate delays.

AI Predictive Testing

Anticipating edge cases before they enter production.

Our Development Journey

A streamlined, transparent path from vision to launch.

Discovery & Scoping

1–2 weeks

We define user journeys, feature scope, Apple framework selection, and backend architecture — and produce a delivery plan with milestones. Everything is agreed before design starts.

UI/UX Design

2–3 weeks

High-fidelity Figma designs for every screen, state, and transition — following Apple's Human Interface Guidelines while matching your brand. You approve every screen before we write code.

Development

4–14 weeks

Two-week sprints with a working TestFlight build after each one. You test the real app on your own device throughout — not a prototype or a demo recording.

QA & Device Testing

1–2 weeks

Manual and automated testing across iPhone and iPad models covering iOS 16 through the latest release — including accessibility audit, performance profiling, and edge-case testing.

App Store Submission

3–7 days

We manage the full submission — screenshots, App Preview, metadata, privacy manifest, content rating, and any Apple review feedback until your app is approved and live.

Post-Launch Support

Ongoing

Crash monitoring via Firebase Crashlytics, iOS version compatibility updates, performance improvements, and feature iterations. We set up your CI/CD with Fastlane so future releases are fast and reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you build native iOS apps or cross-platform?+

We specialise in native Swift and SwiftUI development. For clients who also need Android, we can build in Flutter for a shared codebase, or deliver separate native apps — we advise on the right call based on your product type, performance needs, and long-term maintenance cost.

How long does it take to build an iOS app?+

An MVP is typically 8–12 weeks from kickoff to App Store live. A full-featured product with complex integrations is usually 14–20 weeks. We give you a milestone-based timeline with fixed delivery dates after the scoping session.

What does iOS app development cost?+

MVPs start from $12,000. Full product builds from $28,000. Pricing depends on feature scope, design complexity, and backend requirements. You receive a fixed-scope quote before signing — no open-ended billing.

Can you use Apple-specific frameworks like HealthKit, ARKit, or Apple Pay?+

Yes. We regularly build apps using HealthKit, ARKit, CoreML, Apple Pay, SiriKit, iCloud, and Push Notifications. We advise on which Apple frameworks add genuine value versus which ones add complexity without a clear user benefit.

Will my app work across different iPhone and iPad models?+

We test across iPhone and iPad devices covering iOS 16 through the latest release, including different screen sizes, Dynamic Island layouts, and older hardware still in active use. Our QA process targets 95%+ of the active iOS device market.

Who owns the source code and assets?+

You do — completely. Full IP transfer of all Swift code, assets, Xcode project files, and CI/CD configuration is included at project close. We retain no rights or ongoing licence over anything we build.

Do you handle App Store submission and Apple review?+

Yes. We manage the full submission process — privacy manifests, App Privacy labels, screenshots, App Preview videos, content rating, metadata — and handle any Apple review feedback until your app is approved.

What post-launch support do you offer?+

We offer maintenance retainers covering crash monitoring, iOS version compatibility updates, performance improvements, and feature iterations. Critical bug fixes are responded to within 24 hours for clients on an active retainer.
