iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch
An iOS app development agency that ships to the App Store.
Time is money. We build iOS apps that get approved and stay stable: iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. React Native is our first-choice stack for most apps, with Swift and SwiftUI where a product leans on platform-specific capability. Audit-first, published pricing, founder-operator scale.

iOS delivery outcome
Stable App Store release in 4 weeks
We took over a poorly written check-in rewards app and shipped its first stable App Store and Play Store release in four weeks, approved on the first review cycle. The rescue spanned four surfaces: the mobile app, the admin portal, the REST API, and the database. We built a radius-match auto-check-in feature from scratch as part of it.

These are the situations that bring founders and product teams to an iOS app development agency.
You need a native iOS app, not a wrapped website
Your product needs to feel like it belongs on iPhone and iPad: real navigation, gestures, notifications, and performance that holds up under real data. We build apps that pass App Store review and feel native, not a web view in a shell.
You want one team for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch
Phone is the start, but the product story often includes iPad layouts and an Apple Watch companion. We build across the Apple device family from one engagement, so the experience stays coherent instead of three half-finished surfaces.
Your last submission got rejected and you do not know why
App Store review flagged something and the rejection notice reads like a riddle. Guideline 5.1.3, 4.3, metadata, privacy strings, account deletion. We have shipped through these and can tell you what review actually wants and how to get approved.
You need senior iOS hands, not a learning-on-your-budget bench
You want people who have shipped iOS apps to the App Store and dealt with provisioning, TestFlight, review, and the SDK requirement bumps that arrive every year. You also want published pricing and an owner who answers the phone.
Your iOS app needs a backend, not just a UI
A real product needs APIs, a database, auth, and cloud infrastructure behind the screens. We build the full stack: the iOS app plus the backend it talks to (Supabase, Next.js APIs, Express, AWS, Azure). When a mobile product has a companion website that needs to stay in parity, we build or maintain it as part of the engagement.
How an iOS engagement runs
Four stages. Clear deliverables. You see the plan and the number before build work starts.
Discovery and scope
We pin down what you are building, who it is for, and which Apple surfaces matter: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch.
For a new build we scope features, the right stack (React Native first, Swift/SwiftUI where the product needs it), and milestones. For an existing iOS app we start with a paid Technical Audit (read-only, standalone) so the work is grounded in what the code actually says. Either way you walk away with a written plan.
Flat-fee proposal
We turn the scope into flat-fee milestones with a fixed number. No hourly surprises.
You see the exact milestone list and the dollar figure before any build work starts. Build engagements start at $25,000 and scale with scope. Deposit plus milestones. If discovery shows the right answer is a longer embedded relationship, we say so and scope it as a Partner engagement rather than stretching a fixed-fee build.
Build and submit
Senior-led iOS development, regular builds, a weekly sync, and a path through App Store review.
We build the app and the backend it depends on, test on real devices, and handle TestFlight, the App Store submission, and the review back-and-forth. We design for App Store guidelines from the start (privacy strings, account deletion, data use disclosures) so your launch does not stall on a rejection you could have avoided.
Handoff and stability window
Handoff docs to your team, plus a 30-day stability window after handoff.
You get the release-pipeline runbook (Fastlane or hand-rolled CI), the architectural decision records, and the upgrade playbook so your team can keep shipping. A 30-day stability window follows handoff: if something we shipped breaks in production, we fix it.

How much does an iOS app development agency cost?
Published anchors, flat-fee milestones, scoped per engagement. No hourly surprises.
iOS App Build
Starting at $25,000
Zero-to-App-Store and scale-ready iOS builds for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Flat-fee milestones, scoped per engagement. Engagements typically run $25k to $200k+ by scope. Includes a 30-day stability window after handoff. Existing apps start with an audit ($2,500 Quick Scan or $5,000 Full Audit).
Building net-new is a Build engagement. Reviving a stalled iOS app is audit-first Rescue. A long-term embedded relationship is Partner. We scope to the work, not a package.
