Q1Why build a native iOS app instead of cross-platform?
Native iOS is the best choice when you need the smoothest performance, the latest Apple features on day one (widgets, Live Activities, Apple Watch, ARKit), or a premium feel for an audience that is mostly on iPhone. If you need Android too and your app is mostly standard business features, cross-platform may give better value; we will advise honestly.
Q2Do you use Swift or Objective-C?
New apps are built in Swift, usually with SwiftUI. We also maintain and migrate older Objective-C and UIKit apps to modern Swift, step by step, so the app keeps working during the move.
Q3How do you make sure the app passes App Store review?
We follow Apple's App Store Review Guidelines from the design stage:
- Clear permission messages and privacy labels
- Sign in with Apple when other social logins are offered
- In-app purchases through StoreKit for digital goods
- Demo accounts and review notes for Apple's team
This keeps rejections rare, and if feedback comes back, we fix it quickly.
Q4Do I need an Apple Developer account?
Yes. The app should be published under your own Apple Developer Program account (individual or organisation), so you keep full ownership. We help you set it up and manage certificates, profiles and TestFlight.
Q5Can you build an iPad or Apple Watch version too?
Yes. We can build a universal app that adapts to iPad, and add Apple Watch companions, widgets and Live Activities where they add real value to your users.
Q6How long does it take to build an iOS app?
A focused iPhone MVP usually takes 8โ12 weeks. A full-featured app with payments and custom design takes about 3โ5 months. Apps that span iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch take longer. You get an exact plan after discovery.
Q7Can you add in-app purchases and subscriptions?
Yes. We implement StoreKit 2 for subscriptions, consumables and one-time purchases, including free trials, receipt validation on the server and restore-purchase flows.
Q8Do you support the app after each iOS release?
Yes. Apple releases a major iOS version every year. Our maintenance plans test your app on beta versions, update it for new APIs and devices, and keep it compliant with new App Store rules.
Q9Do you use SwiftUI or UIKit?
We use SwiftUI for most new screens because it's faster to build and supports the newest Apple features. We still use UIKit for complex custom components or when extending older apps.
Q10Can I distribute an iOS app only to my employees?
Yes. We use Apple Business Manager custom apps or your MDM, so the app is available only to your organisation.
Q11Can you add Live Activities or widgets to my app?
Yes. We build Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Live Activities and Dynamic Island experiences for real-time updates such as deliveries and bookings.
Q12Can you add Sign in with Apple and passkeys?
Yes. We add Sign in with Apple, passkeys stored in iCloud Keychain and Face ID login, which make sign-in faster and reduce password resets.
