How we work
Six stages of development
1
Brief and estimate
We break down the business task, look at competitors on the App Store and give a range for cost and timeline.
2
Technical specification
We describe every screen, role and scenario. Once it is approved, the price and the deadline are fixed.
3
Design
A prototype, then the UI following the Human Interface Guidelines - this way the app feels familiar to an iPhone owner and passes the review more easily.
4
Development
We write in Swift in two-week sprints. You receive every build through TestFlight and watch the progress on your own phone.
5
Testing
We test on different iPhone and iPad models, close the bugs and prepare the App Store listing.
6
Release and support
We submit for review, accompany the app until approval and monitor crashes and reviews. We hand the source code over to you.
Comparison
How iOS development differs from Android
If you need both platforms, at the brief we will advise which one is more profitable for you to start with.
| Parameter | iOS | Android | Cross-platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| Language and technologies | Swift, SwiftUI | Kotlin, Jetpack Compose | Shared code for two platforms |
| Check before publication | Manual review, 1-3 days | Mostly automatic | Both checks |
| Developer account | 99 dollars per year | 25 dollars once | Both accounts |
| Variety of devices | Limited, easier to test | Very wide | The widest |
| Average user spend | Higher | Lower | Depends on the audience |
| Time to release | 7-11 weeks | 6-10 weeks | 8-12 weeks for two platforms |
Warranty on the code and on passing the review
The App Store reviews apps manually, and this is exactly where projects get stuck most often. We prepare the materials in advance and accompany the app until approval.
What the warranty covers
- 90 days of free bug fixing
- Unlimited resubmissions until the app is approved
- Transfer of the source code and certificates into your ownership
- Technical documentation and instructions for updates
FAQ
What people ask about iOS development
How long does development take?
An MVP takes 5-7 weeks, a business app 7-11 weeks, a shop in an app 11-15 weeks. The countdown starts once the specification and the design are approved.
Why is iOS more expensive than Android?
Because of Apple’s interface and privacy requirements and the manual review before publication. That adds work on design, documents and submission preparation, but the iOS audience is usually more willing to pay.
Do I need an Apple Developer account?
Yes, it is registered to your company: 99 dollars per year. A legal entity needs a D-U-N-S number - we will help you obtain it and pass verification.
What if the app does not pass the review?
We analyse the reason for the rejection, make the changes and submit again. Resubmissions are not charged - we work until the app appears in the App Store.
Can I see the app before the release?
Yes, through TestFlight. You install the build on your own iPhone and see the real progress at the end of every sprint, not just screenshots.
Who owns the source code?
You do. After full payment we hand over the repository, the certificates and the access credentials. The project can be handed to any other developers for further work.
