What it is
Native iOS development uses Swift and Apple's official frameworks (SwiftUI, UIKit, Combine) to build applications that run directly on Apple hardware, with full access to all platform APIs, consistent App Store distribution, and performance that web or hybrid approaches cannot match.
What you get
SwiftUI has changed iOS development significantly. Declarative UI code that previews in Xcode, cross-platform between iOS and macOS, and deeper integration with accessibility and dynamic type than UIKit required. We write new iOS projects in SwiftUI with UIKit where SwiftUI's abstractions are too limited for the interaction design required.
Apple platform integration is where native apps have no cross-platform equivalent: WidgetKit for home screen and lock screen widgets, App Clips for instant-access experiences, Sign in with Apple, StoreKit 2 for in-app purchases, Core Bluetooth for peripheral communication, ARKit for augmented reality, and Core ML for on-device inference.
App Store submission is complex and we handle it fully: provisioning profiles, code signing, TestFlight beta distribution, review submission, App Store Connect listing with screenshots and metadata, App Privacy details, and communication with Apple reviewers when questions arise.
Key capabilities
Each engagement is scoped to your requirements — these are the core capabilities we bring to the table.
App Clips for instant-access lightweight experiences
StoreKit 2 for in-app purchases and subscriptions
Core Bluetooth and NFC for hardware integration
Core ML for on-device inference
TestFlight beta distribution and App Store submission
Our process
A structured, engineering-led approach that moves from understanding your goals to a production system — with no handoff surprises.
Typical engagement
8–16 WEEKS
We map your goals, constraints, and existing infrastructure. Scope is defined and success criteria agreed before any development begins.
We design the technical approach, select the right tools, and produce a milestone-driven delivery plan with no ambiguity.
Iterative development with regular demos. Code reviews, test coverage, and documentation happen in parallel — not at the end.
Production release with monitoring setup and handover documentation. We stay close during the first weeks post-launch.
Built with
SwiftUI for most new projects. It is Apple's direction, produces less code, and integrates well with the platform. UIKit is still required for complex custom interactions (fully custom table view cells, complex gesture recogniser trees, some CoreText work) and for targeting iOS 13 where SwiftUI was first available but had significant gaps.
We monitor Apple developer previews starting in June each year and test against beta OS releases during development. APIs that are deprecated in an upcoming release are identified and replaced before the public release. Apps built with current SDK targets require annual maintenance, which we include in retainer or factor into handover documentation.
Most app submissions are reviewed within 24–48 hours. Initial app submissions for new apps or major feature updates take 2–5 days on average. Rejections that require substantive changes add another full review cycle. We front-load compliance requirements during development to minimise rejection risk.
