How do we deliver iOS app development services?

  • 1
    Gather requirements
    The whole process starts with analyzing the requirements, business ideas, and expectations of the customers. The analyst creates the project breakdown and estimates the time required for design.
  • 2
    Create UI/UX design based on the results of analytics
    Designers build the UI/UX of the mobile app and a UI Kit that can be used for scaling the design up. During this process, we stick close to Human interface guidelines to make the product look intuitive and simple to use.
  • 3
    Plan 2–3 week sprints
    Just like with all the digital products, in the process of iPhone app development, we always work with short iterations. By the end of each of them, the customers get a tangible result — an app version that they can check and estimate the progress.
  • 4
    Establish scalable architecture and write clear code
    We develop the features according to their priority and focus on flexibility. Here we implement all the basic functionality of the iPhone app and integrate the product with smartphone hardware. At this stage, both front-end and back-end engineers work in close coordination.
  • 5
    Make sure the software runs stably
    We run automatic tests and use error-tracking tools in a ready-made application to fix the bugs.
  • 6
    Release the software to the store
    We follow Apple guidelines and ensure that the final version of the mobile app has no bugs and runs flawlessly to provide a quick release to the store. We have already helped more than 80 customers to release their iPhone apps.
  • 7
    Provide post-launch maintenance
    Developers ensure that the software runs stably and fixes all the bugs. Moreover, we are ready to keep working with you even after the first version is released. We can adjust the product based on user reviews and add new features.

Our iPhone app development cases

Hamperapp

Hamperapp is a startup from Florida that aims to automate laundry and dry cleaning services. The Hamperapp team reached out to our iOS app development company to develop an ecosystem of native mobile and web apps that could automate their business. Our team has created a unique UI/UX design of the interface, helped to form the brand identity, as well as built native iOS and Android apps for consumers and drivers as well as web panels for managers and admins.

Noah

Noah is a farmer marketplace from Sweden. The Noah team wanted to develop an ecosystem of apps where users could buy goods from local farmers, while farmers could distribute the vegetables and dairy they have produced. The team asked us to create an Android and iPhone app for consumers, a mobile app for farmers, as well a web admin panel for service holders. Our team of designers and engineers managed to complete the work within 4 months and release the app before harvesting season, so the app owners could receive maximum profit.

ShipMe

ShipMe is a Middle-Eastern shipping service operating as a delivery auction in Saudi Arabia, one of the major markets in online retailing. Our customer’s goal was to build an ecosystem of apps that would connect consumers who need delivery and carriers ready to help them. That’s why the team needed both web and iPhone app development services. As a result, we have developed iOS and Android apps for four different types of users participating in the process.

Lainappi

The Lainappi team has decided to leverage our iOS app development services to test their idea of rental service in the Finnish market. However, in the process of analytics, we dropped the idea of creating a native app and offered Lainappi holders to develop a cross-platform app that would have one codebase and work equally well on iOS and Android. As an addition, we helped the app owners redesign the app interface, develop branding style, and release the first version of the app. Lainappi owners were so satisfied with the work that they chose us to be their long-term partners. Read the full story of our partnership below.

FAQ

Cross-platform vs. native mobile app development: which one better fits my business?

Native apps are tailored for either iOS or Android platforms and require development in distinct programming languages — Swift or Objective-C for iOS, and Java or Kotlin for Android. Consequently, assembling two dedicated development teams is essential, one for each operating system, to code and uphold these applications.

Conversely, cross-platform apps often leverage the React Native framework and the JavaScript language, allowing for a singular codebase to simultaneously craft apps for both iOS and Android. Maintenance for these apps is typically more straightforward; however, they might not run as swiftly as native apps, which are precision-engineered for their respective platforms.

Since we don’t position ourselves purely as an iOS app development company, we can either develop native or cross-platform apps for you.

Will my app be optimized for both iPhone and iPad?
If you want to your app to be compatible with iPad, you will need to tell us about that at the stage of gathering requirements. Our team will create a UI/UX design optimized for the iPad screen and develop it. In case, you decide to get two app versions for different devices, the development time will take longer. However, this will allow your business to cover a larger audience.
Can you integrate third-party services or APIs into my iOS app?
Of course, our team has vast experience in working with different APIs and API providers. As a part of our iOS app development services, we can enable sign-in with different socials, integrate services like Google Maps, data aggregators like Oddsmaker, and many others. We also have experience in working with FinTech APIs provided by Bond and Plaid, in case you decide to develop a mobile banking app.
Have you ever engineered an application that can connect to an Apple Watch?
We have built several apps that could connect to the Apple Watch. One of them was a crypto trading app with a feature for displaying account balance and crypto coin rates on the screen of the Apple Watch. That’s why as a part of our iOS app development services we can install features connected to wearable devices.
