iOS app development

We build apps for iPhone and iPad on React Native: the native UX and smoothness Apple users expect, without doubling the timeline and budget on a separate iOS team. Where it matters, we drop down to native modules (Swift / Objective-C) — for performance, access to system APIs, or platform-specific UI.

We run the iOS project end to end: from scoping and MVP to a stable App Store release and support for new iOS versions. The backend runs on Node.js, so the app and the server grow together — no stitching together separate contractors.

Native UX on React Native

iOS users are sensitive to detail: gestures, scroll inertia, transitions, haptics, keyboard behaviour and safe areas across different iPhone and iPad sizes. We build the interface so it feels native to the platform — grounded in the Human Interface Guidelines, not a cross-platform compromise.

React Native covers most of the screens and logic from one shared codebase, while heavy or system-level parts — Reanimated animations, camera, background tasks — go into native modules. That keeps development speed shared with Android without giving up the feel of a real iOS app.

Apple ecosystem integrations

We wire in what an iPhone app is expected to do: push notifications via APNs, payments (Apple Pay and payment providers, In-App Purchase for digital goods per App Store rules), Sign in with Apple, biometrics (Face ID / Touch ID) and secret storage in the Keychain.

Where the task calls for it we add maps and geo (MapKit / Core Location), Universal Links and deep links, sharing, file handling and offline mode. Each integration is chosen to match App Store review requirements, so the release doesn't get bounced during moderation.

Build and App Store publishing

We set up the build and signing: profiles and certificates, App Store Connect, TestFlight for closed and beta testing. We prepare the release for review — permissions and usage descriptions (camera, location, notifications), privacy policy and App Privacy, correct In-App Purchase — to pass moderation without rejections.

If you publish under your own developer account, we run the whole process; if you don't have one yet, we help set it up. CI/CD automates builds and submissions so updates ship predictably.

Support for new iOS versions

Every autumn Apple ships a new iOS version and new devices — deprecating things, changing App Store rules. We stay for support: testing on new iPhones and iOS, updating SDKs and dependencies, fixing what broke, shipping new features and optimizing — with no downtime for users.

Support continues as long as the product needs it. That's our core approach: we run projects for years rather than closing them after the first release.

FAQ

How much does iOS app development cost?
It depends on the feature set, integrations (payments, push, biometrics, maps), whether you need a backend and whether the design is custom. As a ballpark, an iPhone MVP starts from ~1 month of work; a full product is estimated more precisely after a short call and scoping. There's a calculator on the home page to ballpark budget and timeline.
Do you build iOS only, or Android too?
Both. Since we work on React Native, one shared codebase produces iOS and Android — often cheaper and faster than two separate native teams. If the task is iPhone and iPad only, we'll ship an iOS app, and Android can be added later without rewriting from scratch.
Can you help with App Store publishing?
Yes. We handle the build, signing, TestFlight, review prep (permissions, App Privacy, In-App Purchase) and the submission itself. We publish under your developer account; if you don't have an Apple Developer account yet, we'll help set one up.
