Native iOS apps for Apple frameworks, platform behavior, and review.

Choose native iOS when the product is iOS-only, needs new Apple capabilities early, depends heavily on Apple frameworks or background modes, or requires platform-specific interaction and performance. If the same standard workflow must ship to Android, Flutter or React Native may reduce duplicate work.

SwiftUI fits many new screens, while UIKit remains useful for existing codebases and controls that need mature platform behavior. We use Swift for new logic and choose the interface approach around deployment target, required components, team handover, and incremental migration constraints.

Yes, when the product has a lawful data purpose, appropriate account and entitlement access, and representative test devices. We prove permissions, denial states, background limits, purchase restoration, hardware errors, and backend validation before launch.

Yes. Scope includes signing ownership, builds, TestFlight groups, store metadata, privacy answers, entitlements, review notes, and the planned first submission. Approval remains Apple's decision. Material product changes requested during review may affect scope and timing.

A focused first release covers one core workflow, a bounded device and OS matrix, standard backend integration, TestFlight, monitoring, and App Store submission. Purchases, health data, hardware, offline complexity, or regulated evidence increase scope. Every release is priced at a fixed cost agreed before development starts.

Rejections usually trace back to a small set of causes: purchase-model violations, missing account-deletion paths, privacy answers that do not match SDK behavior, placeholder content, or restricted API use. Because review constraints are treated as scope inputs, not submission paperwork, so most issues are resolved before the first submission. When Apple does request changes, we adjust the product or the metadata, document the response, and resubmit. Material product changes requested during review may affect scope and timing.

You do, but only if the contract says so. Ownership should transfer on payment, and the repositories, design files, App Store Connect, and cloud accounts should be in your name from day one. Ask what is excluded from the quote, not just what is included: testing, revision rounds, and store submission are frequently left out.

Ask for live apps with App Store links you can install today, and repository access from the start. Run a small paid pilot before committing to the full build. And watch the first meeting: a team that cuts your v1 scope is worth more than one that agrees to everything.

Yes, when the repository, signing assets, backend contracts, and App Store records are accessible. We start by mapping the architecture, dependency health, test coverage, and review-sensitive behaviors, then agree whether the right move is stabilization, incremental modernization (for example, migrating screens to SwiftUI), or a bounded rewrite of the parts that block the roadmap. The same review-first discipline applies: entitlements, privacy, and business-model rules are verified before code changes.

iPad gets its own design consideration when the product earns it: multi-column layouts, drag and drop, keyboard and pointer support, and Split View behavior are iPad-native expectations, not stretched phone screens. For field and enterprise products we also plan for shared-device mode, offline queues, and the device-management profiles that fleets require.
