Overview
iOS apps, in plain words
An iOS app development company should build an app that feels right on an iPhone, get it through Apple's review, and hand you everything afterwards. That is what we do.
Most of our apps start as one React Native or Flutter codebase, which keeps cost down if you also want Android. If your product needs deep device access, we say so on the first call.
Apple reviews every release and the decision is theirs. Nobody honest can promise approval or a date.

Signs you need it
Problems this work fixes
If one of these sounds familiar, you are in the right place.
- The app was rejected and nobody knows whyRejections usually come from unclear privacy answers, a login Apple cannot test, or a guideline breach. We check these before submission, not after.
- It works on one phone onlyAn app that runs on a new iPhone can fail on an older model or smaller screen. We test the devices your customers use.
- The agency holds your Apple accountSome teams publish under their own account and keep the keys. If you part ways, you start again. We never do this.
- Every iOS update is a surpriseApple ships a new system version each year and old code can break. Without an upgrade plan, small changes become emergencies.
What is included
What we do, part by part
- 01
Discovery and user flows
We agree what the app must do on day one and what can wait. You react to wireframes before any code exists.
- 02
Interface design for iPhone
We follow Apple's conventions so the app feels familiar. Screens are checked on small and large devices.
- 03
App build and back-end
We build the app and its services: sign-in, data, notifications and payments where needed. Accounts stay yours.
- 04
Testing on real devices
We test on physical iPhones, not only simulators. You see a working build every week.
- 05
App Store submission
We prepare the listing, screenshots, privacy answers and build, then submit. If Apple asks for changes, we fix and resubmit.
- 06
Launch support and fixes
Every project includes 30 days of fixes after launch. An optional plan then covers system updates.

How it works
How the work runs
Plan scope and fix the price
We shape the plan around your budget. Once agreed in writing, the price does not change.
Design the screens
You approve flows before development starts. Changes are cheap now.
Build in weekly steps
You get a working build each week. Senior engineers write the code.
Submit and release
We submit the app and handle review feedback. After launch we stay for the 30 days of fixes.
Straight answer: We cannot promise Apple will approve your app or when. We reduce the common causes of rejection and fix whatever is raised, but that is not a guarantee.

Quick answers
About cost and timing
The things people ask right after they see a price.
It depends on features. Sign-in, payments, real-time data and an admin panel each add cost. The page shows our mobile starting price. We scope your app on a call and fix the price in writing before work starts. Flexible on scope. Firm on price.
Our mobile projects usually run 8 to 16 weeks from kickoff to store submission, with simple apps near the short end. Apple's review time comes on top and is theirs to decide. You get a dated plan after the first call.
How we contract
Clear terms, before you spend anything
The commercial side in plain words. The full wording is in our terms, and your proposal sets the details.
- A written proposal comes firstScope, deliverables, milestones, price and timeline, in writing. Work starts when you accept it.
- The price does not moveOnce agreed, the number in the proposal is the number on the invoice. Changes to scope are quoted as a written change request and only built once you approve them.
- You pay by milestoneProjects are paid in milestones set in your proposal. No project is billed in full upfront. Invoices are payable within 14 days unless your agreement says otherwise.
- You own the workCode, designs and accounts are registered to your company from day one. We keep our own pre-existing tools and methods.
- No lock-inEither side can end a project with written notice, and you pay for the work done up to then. Retainers run month to month with 30 days written notice.
- 30 days of fixes after launchDefects in what we delivered are fixed for 30 days after launch. New features and third-party changes are quoted separately.
iOS apps FAQ
Questions about ios apps
The things people ask before they book. If yours is missing, ask us on a call or on WhatsApp.
Still have a question?
Thirty minutes with us usually answers everything, including whether we are the right fit.
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Apple decides on every release. We prepare the build, privacy answers and test access to avoid the usual causes of rejection. If Apple raises an issue, we fix it and resubmit within the project.
Yes, and it should be in your name. Apple charges its own annual fee, paid to Apple. We guide you through setup. Holding the account means you control the app, its listing and its keys, whoever builds it for you.
If nearly all your first users have iPhones, starting there is reasonable. If you will want Android within a year, a shared codebase usually costs less than building twice. We give you a straight recommendation on the first call, with reasons.
Both are possible. React Native or Flutter suits most apps and also gives you Android. A fully native Swift app makes sense for heavy graphics or deep device features. We pick based on your product and explain why before you commit.
You do. The Apple account, signing keys, source code and back-end accounts are registered to your business from the start. We work inside them as collaborators, so if we part ways nothing has to be handed back or transferred. You never need our permission to reach your own app.
