iOS Development Agency

Three elements weigh most on the price: the number of screens, the hardware functions involved such as ARKit or HealthKit, and the integrations with your existing tools. Every iOS project is priced on quotation, drawn up after scoping that clarifies your needs and fixes the first perimeter. Native calls for platform-specific work that a cross-platform approach avoids, which is reflected in the quote, in exchange for higher performance and finish on iPhone and iPad.

On a standard scope, 21 to 60 days pass between the first discussion and publication on the App Store; a more ambitious project, with several modules or advanced hardware integrations, calls for closer to 60 days. Development in Swift, testing on several iPhone and iPad models, then validation by Apple take up most of that time, this last stage sometimes adding several days depending on the complexity of the application. Precise scoping up front makes this estimate more reliable before committing to a deadline.

In most projects, a cross-platform approach such as Flutter or React Native is more than enough and makes it possible to cover Android at the same time, on a controlled budget. Native iOS is justified when the application uses a very recent system function as soon as it is released, when performance has to be maximal, or when the target audience, often premium or B2B, expects a level of finish that only direct integration makes it possible to reach. We settle this choice with you according to your actual priorities, never as a matter of principle.

Yes. The initial audit covers the Swift code, how it is organised and its compatibility with recent versions of iOS, to separate what can be kept from what has to be reworked before adding new functions. We also check any third-party libraries used and their compatibility with the current version of Swift. This snapshot of the project gives a reliable estimate of the work to plan for and limits nasty surprises once development has started. This work leads to a prioritised list of actions, which we send you before any commitment on our side.

On iOS, maintenance takes the form of an optional annual package whose price follows the actual scope of the project: compatibility with the new version of iOS announced each autumn, fixes, small developments. Apple evolves its system every year, and this follow-up limits the risk of a function ceasing to work overnight after a system update. This package remains optional, since the source code belongs to you from delivery onwards, whatever you choose afterwards.

Yes, in full, from final delivery: code repository, the Apple developer account used for publication, the project's technical documentation. For premium or B2B applications, this ownership matters particularly: it makes it possible to have the code audited by a third party or to change technical team without depending on our agency to keep developing the application. This independence is particularly appreciated by teams considering hiring an in-house iOS developer in time. Nothing commits you to us beyond the assignment entrusted at the outset.

An iOS application does not rank on Google but on the App Store, where its listing plays the role that search visibility plays for a website: we work with you on its title, its keywords and its screenshots before each release. For a premium or B2B audience, this listing is also part of the brand image, just as much as the finish of the application itself. Your website's search visibility follows its own rules and remains a separate piece of work, carried out in parallel, with its own criteria for success.
