iOS application development: As simple as 1-2-3

Schedule a call

After you fill out the form, our manager will contact you within 24 hours and arrange a call. If necessary, we are ready to sign an NDA.

At the meeting, we will get to know each other and discuss the project. We'll also talk about the approximate budget and deadlines.

Fill out the form

Dive into project details

After the first meeting, a business analyst will contact you for a mini-audit: gathering technical requirements and creating a portrait of the project's target audience. To do that, we'll talk about your project, what your goals and restrictions are, and look at positive and negative references.

Prepare and submit
an estimate

We prepare a detailed estimate and presentation, which includes cost, timeline, team, and project roadmap.

After that, all that's left is to sign the contract,and we'll get started on your project! Now, let's talk about what happens after the estimate.

iOS app development process

Systems analysis

Results: Project roadmap and BPMN-diagrams

Average time frame: 2–3 weeks

We gather analytics and dive into the details of your project even deeper. At this stage, we lay out the iOS app's architecture and complete a chart for how exactly the app is going to work. This allows us to anticipate all possible roadblocks and changes.

UI/UX design

Results: UI kit, finished screen designs

Average time frame: 1-1.5 month

We start by working out the internal logic of the iOS app — creating a mind map. Then we translate it into black-and-white wireframes. After you greenlight the app logic, we flesh out 1–2 screens from the main user scenario to determine the core style of the app. Then we work out all the details, finalize the mobile app design, and create a UI kit for quick and convenient iOS app development.

Development

Results: finished iOS app that’s ready for use

Average time frame: 2–5 months

We divide the entire iOS app development process into 2-week sprints. This allows the client to control the development progress and quickly implement changes. Trial releases are made in TestFlight to show how the app works on real devices.

QA testing

Results: iOS app without any bugs

Average time frame: In parallel with the development

To ensure that iOS apps work smoothly and bugs don't creep into the final product, we test each project both manually and using automated tests.

Release

Results: An app that’s ready to be downloaded and loved by users

We know the ins and outs of publishing to the App Store and always bring releases to completion. Our iOS app development services also include supporting and improving products after release by adding new features and fixing bugs.

What Makes a Great iOS App Development Company?

Plenty of vendors ship a build and disappear before the first rejection notice from Apple's review team. A great iOS app development company doesn't: it ships apps that reach the App Store and stay there.

Three things separate a real iOS partner from a portfolio site with stock screenshots: engineers who know the framework's native-bridge layer well enough to write a Swift or Kotlin module when a cross-platform framework doesn't cover a feature yet, a design team fluent in Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, and ownership of the App Store Connect account, certificates, and review correspondence through launch.

A development firm quoting a fixed price without a discovery call is guessing at scope, same as an app idea sketched on a napkin. The work that actually holds a deadline starts with a scoping session, not a template.

Our iOS Development Stack: React Native and Flutter

Purrweb builds iOS apps with React Native and Flutter. The same codebase ships to iOS and Android, which cuts build time compared to running two native teams in parallel. Xcode remains the build environment for iOS packaging and signing regardless of framework, and TestFlight handles internal and beta distribution.

Both frameworks cover most of what a typical iOS app needs: camera, push notifications, in-app purchase, biometric auth, maps. Where a project needs something the framework doesn't expose yet — a CarPlay extension, a WidgetKit widget, or ARKit access — Purrweb writes a small native Swift or Kotlin module and bridges it into the codebase. That's targeted native code for one feature, not a parallel native rebuild of the app.

A companion Apple Watch app is a separate build, not a checkbox on the iPhone app — that's a discovery-stage conversation, not a line item we add silently to an MVP quote.

App Store Submission — We Own the Process End-to-End

Most iOS app development companies stop at "we'll build it" and leave App Store Connect setup, certificate management, and Apple's review correspondence to the client. Purrweb treats submission as a deliverable, not a footnote: our team creates the App Store Connect listing, manages provisioning profiles and signing certificates, and handles every round of review feedback until the app is live.

Apple's review process typically takes 24–48 hours for the initial review, with common rejection reasons including incomplete metadata, guideline 4.3 (spam/clone) flags, and privacy manifest gaps introduced by newer SDKs. Submission ownership means a rejection is our problem to fix within the same day, not a surprise email forwarded to the client three weeks after handover.

iOS App Development Timeline — How Long Does It Take?

An iOS MVP takes 8–16 weeks from kickoff to App Store listing; a mid-complexity app runs 3–5 months; enterprise builds take 6 months or longer. These timelines assume discovery is done before development sprints start — projects that skip discovery and figure out scope mid-build routinely run over their original estimate. Apple's review adds 24–48 hours per submission round — against a 16-week build, that's a rounding error next to the real variable: scope creep during development.

React Native, Flutter, or Native Swift: Which Fits Your iOS Project?

Native iOS development is the right call when an app needs deep platform integration — CarPlay, widgets, ARKit, background audio processing — or when performance on a single platform matters more than reaching Android on day one. React Native app development makes more sense when the priority is shipping to both iOS and Android from one codebase, especially for MVPs validating a business model before platform-specific investment is justified.

The honest tradeoff: native Swift gives immediate access to every new iOS API the day Apple ships it. React Native and other cross-platform app development approaches wait on a bridge library or write a native module to fill the gap. Teams building for Android app development alongside iOS from day one usually start cross-platform and split into native codebases later, once one platform's feature set outgrows what the shared codebase can support cleanly.

A rough rule that holds across the projects we've scoped: if the roadmap includes a CarPlay extension, ARKit, or heavy background processing within the first year, native saves a rewrite later. If the roadmap is "validate demand on both platforms within a quarter," cross-platform is the faster, cheaper first step.

Apple CarPlay App Development

CarPlay support is a feature most iOS vendor pages skip, even though demand is real for navigation, audio, and EV-charging apps where drivers need a second, glanceable interface. Building for CarPlay means designing a simplified UI surface governed by Apple's CarPlay Human Interface Guidelines: large touch targets, minimal text, voice-command integration via Siri. CarPlay templates (list, grid, map, now-playing) are fixed layouts Apple controls; the app supplies data into them, not custom UI. Purrweb builds CarPlay extensions as native Swift modules bridged into a React Native or Flutter app, for clients whose drivers need low-distraction interfaces at highway speed.

How Much Does iOS App Development Cost?

iOS app development costs $25,000–$60,000 for an MVP, $60,000–$150,000 for a mid-complexity app with backend and third-party integrations, and $150,000+ for enterprise-grade builds with custom infrastructure. These ranges reflect actual Purrweb project scopes, not industry-generic estimates. Cost drivers that move a project between tiers: the number of user roles, whether the backend is custom-built or off-the-shelf, and how many third-party integrations the app needs.

How much does it cost to develop an app for iOS?

On average, from $35,000 to $130,000.

The price will depend on the complexity of the app. If you’ve decided to make a product with the key feature intact and omit other functionality, the price will be around $50,000.

More features added means more screens needed to design and develop. This staggers and makes it more expensive.

How long does iOS app development take?

On average — 3 to 6 months. The exact time frame depends on the project’s complexity, just like the price.

Developing an MVP, with a small set of features, is going to take way less time than creating an app with a big list of unique features. And, with an MVP up-and-running, you can gather user feedback and do the features they’ll actually want.

Do you sign NDAs?

Of course! To keep your financial information, investors’ names, marketing plans, and other sensitive data safe, we can sign a non-disclosure agreement on the first call.

How to choose an iOS app development company?

Check out their reviews. See if some of the company’s clients left their contact info — you can talk to them yourself to confirm whether their testimonials are true. If their reviews are published in a video format, they’re more trustworthy, considering that they are too time-consuming and elaborate to fake.

Also, take a look at the portfolio of the iOS app developer. There’s a good chance that if they had experience with projects similar to yours, they may deliver great results.

Will you support the app after release?

After release, our mobile application development services can include supporting the developed mobile apps if needed. We can fix bugs that could not be detected before release, as well as add new features and improve the project.

Will you help me upload my iOS app to the App Store?

Of course!

We’ve helped many companies release their apps on the App Store. For example, we once helped a company specializing in e-cigarette sales roll out their own app on the platform. At first, our developers noticed that the app didn’t have a privacy policy, so the chances of it being accepted by the App Store were close to zero.

Our team found out about it early enough to correct this mistake and release the app on time. Read more about this case on our blog.

Do you build native iOS apps or cross-platform?

Purrweb builds iOS apps with React Native and Flutter, so one codebase ships to both iOS and Android. Where a feature needs it — CarPlay, ARKit, a WidgetKit widget — we add a small native Swift module and bridge it in. Cross-platform is our default because it gets you to the App Store faster with one team; a full native-Swift-only build isn't what we specialise in.
