Swift vs Objective-C: which do you use for iOS?

We build new iOS apps in Swift and SwiftUI. Swift is Apple's modern language with safer concurrency and less boilerplate than Objective-C. Legacy Objective-C modules can be bridged incrementally when you have an existing codebase.

How do you handle privacy and App Tracking Transparency?

We implement privacy manifests, purpose strings, ATT prompts when tracking is required, and App Store privacy nutrition labels that match actual SDK behavior so review teams see consistent disclosures.

What is HIG-compliant iOS design?

Human Interface Guidelines define Apple's expected typography, spacing, navigation patterns, and accessibility. HIG-aligned apps feel native, pass review faster, and earn higher ratings than custom UI that fights platform conventions.

Do you distribute builds through TestFlight?

Yes. Internal and external TestFlight groups validate flows before App Store release. We manage build numbers, release notes, and tester feedback loops during QA sprints.

Native iOS vs cross-platform: when is native better?

Choose native iOS when you need deepest Apple integrations, premium SwiftUI UX, or iOS-first roadmaps. Flutter or React Native suit dual-platform MVPs; we recommend honestly in discovery.

What maintenance is included after iOS launch?

30 days post-launch support plus optional retainers for iOS version compatibility, Xcode updates, crash monitoring, and feature sprints month-to-month.

Do you build App Clips?

Yes. App Clips for NFC, QR, and Safari invocations are scoped when you need lightweight try-before-install flows. We align clip size limits, entitlements, and parent app handoff.

Q: How does the App Store approval process work?

We prepare App Store Connect metadata, privacy nutrition labels, ATT flows, screenshots, and build uploads. Review typically takes 24-48 hours. Our pre-check process targets 100% first-submission approval by fixing guideline issues before upload.

Q: How much does iOS app development cost?

iOS app development is quote-based across MVP, Growth, and Enterprise plans depending on screens, Apple ecosystem scope, integrations, and App Store assets. No fixed public pricing. Written quote within 48 hours of discovery.

Q: How long does iOS app development take?

Most MVPs launch in 11 weeks: Weeks 1-2 discovery and UX, Weeks 3-6 SwiftUI build, Weeks 7-9 QA on devices, Weeks 10-11 TestFlight and App Store submission. iPad, Watch, or App Clips add 2-4 weeks.

Q: Do you build iPad apps?

Yes. iPad layouts use size classes, NavigationSplitView, and keyboard shortcuts. Universal binaries or iPad-only targets are scoped based on whether your product is phone-first or productivity-focused.

Q: Do you build Apple Watch apps?

Yes. watchOS companions with complications, glanceable workflows, and HealthKit integrations are scoped separately with watch-specific HIG and App Store categories.

We build native iOS apps with Swift and SwiftUI for startups and enterprises that need App Store-ready products, not cross-platform shortcuts.
