    FAQ on native iOS app development

    Expanding reach

    Developing for iOS enables you to reach the extensive user base of iPhone and iPad users. This broadens your audience and increases the potential for user engagement and app success.

    System stability

    Apple’s system is renowned for its stability. The iOS platform rarely crashes, and battery life is consistent. It performs uniformly across different devices, regardless of screen size or age. This stability speeds up iOS app development because system-induced bugs are less likely. Consequently, the user experience is enhanced when the app functions reliably.

    Fast adoption

    Apple’s major system updates are rapidly adopted by users. According to the company itself, nearly 80% of Apple devices were running the latest iOS 17 within three months of its release. This rapid adoption simplifies app development, as developers typically need to support only the current and previous system versions, covering around 91% of all iOS users.

    Features out-of-the-box

    Apple prioritizes user privacy, controlling access to device sensors and ensuring data is stored securely on the device. Although this strict control can complicate development, it fosters user trust in the apps. Additionally, iOS offers numerous libraries for image processing, cryptography, and Machine Learning, which expedite development. The system’s synchronization feature, iCloud, ensures that apps maintain their state across different devices.

    Security & privacy

    Apple has consistently enhanced user privacy by controlling sensor access and providing secure data storage on the device. This level of control can sometimes be restrictive for developers but it ultimately increases user trust in apps installed on iOS devices.

    In our experience, the best way to talk about the cost of custom iOS app development is by thinking about it in terms of complexity. And so:

    • Basic iOS applications cost around $50,000 to $70,000.
    • Medium-complexity iOS applications will range from $70,000 to $100,000.
    • Complex iOS apps that require building a complicated architecture and multiple integrations, or meeting high-security demands, will cost around $100,000 or more. 

    This rough estimate can serve as your starting point in understanding how much it really costs to develop an iOS app. Read our in-depth analysis of mobile app development costs.

    Yes, we will always sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) when a client wants it. We can do it at the very beginning before we even discuss your iOS project in any detail, or at another stage of the process. It’s completely up to you.

    Yes, you are the owner of the Intellectual Property rights, including the code, at all times.

    There are 8 crucial stages of the iOS app development process:

    1. Discussing your idea
    Tell us about your vision, problems to solve, and expectations. We’re all ears!

    2. Defining the goal
    Refine your product’s purpose to boost its chances of thriving on the market.

    Thinking about bringing the magic in-house? We’ll help you build your team and smoothly pass the baton.

    We have completed over 130 mobile & web projects and we have a strong background in developing iOS applications from various categories – mobile commerce, IoT (Internet of Things), MedTech, FinTech, maps & transport, lifestyle, and digital transformation, amongst others.

    The knowledge and experience gained in numerous industries for over 13 years means we are able to deal with the development of any type of iOS app. Check out our portfolio for more examples.

    Yes, of course. We will upload your iOS app on to the Apple Store. It is a part of our iOS app development process. We’ll also guide you through the app setup on the store regarding marketing materials, descriptions, and legacy issues.

    Yes, we also do maintenance. iOS app development is just the start. During iOS app maintenance, the development team implements app monitoring tools (e.g. HockeyApp, Crashlytics, Google Analytics, Firebase) to every product we’ve delivered. Thanks to these tools, we can detect any crashes, follow the app’s statistics, and plan product enhancements.

    We invite you to cooperate with us through ongoing iOS app maintenance. In this option, you can be sure that the team is available always when your project needs us.

    If you do not decide on such maintenance, you can always contact us with a specific need, but whether we can help at that respective moment depends on whether the team is available or if their time is fully booked.

    Our office is located in Wroclaw (Poland) which is one of the fastest-growing tech hubs in the world. We work in a hybrid model but regularly meet for team-building events, on-site workshops, or just to work side by side. Read more about us.

    We are a team of 85+ talented professionals, including around 20 iOS developers. However, our development team also consists of certified Scrum Masters, UX/UI designers, Quality Assurance Engineers, and Business Analysts. With these experts on board, we are able to take the whole iOS app development process off of your shoulders, so you can focus on business.

    We adjust the team’s size according to your needs. A typical development team consists of 1 Product Owner (from your side), 1 Scrum Master, 1 Quality Assurance Engineer, 2 iOS developers, 2 Android developers (if you also want an app for the Android platform), and 1 Business Analyst (optional).

    Yes. The code we create is very readable, well documented, and structured, which makes it easy to transfer your iOS project to another team, if needed.

    Clients usually work with us on a Time & Materials basis. The total cost of a T&M project depends on the actual effort made towards the development. In this model, you pay for the actual time the team spends on the development of specific tasks. You are in charge of the project’s scope and set the priorities for the development team.

    Why do we use the Time & Materials model? It ensures flexibility, provides a shorter time-to-market, and allows for the Continuous Delivery of a software product. This approach also ensures a high quality result – your iOS app will be tested at every stage of development. Read more about Time & Materials vs Fixed Price.

    Yes, of course. After every Sprint Review, you will get:

    • An app demo build (so you can check if the created app fits your expectations)
    • A detailed review of what’s been done
    • Information about how many hours the team worked on the project during the Sprint
    • Information about eventual difficulties solved or additional work that has been done

    According to your preferences, you can take part in the Review meeting directly, or just get the above-mentioned information via e-mail.

    What’s more, we use these good practices to ensure 100% transparency:

    • You have direct contact with every team member – through Slack, e-mail, video calls, during Scrum meetings or even live visits.
    • PO Guidance – as a Product Owner, will be supported in your role. We will introduce you to the necessary tools for monitoring the budget and maximizing the value delivered by the development team.
    • Jira Dashboard – the team will provide you with a presentation of the most important data about the project on transparent charts.
    • Tempo Timesheet – this is a Jira tracking tool. At any moment, you can check what the team is spending their time on.
    • Forecast & Change Management – we forecast the project budget, support you in monitoring it, and predict potential risks in order to prevent them.
    • Dropbox / Google – you have access to all materials collected in one place.
