Understanding

What is native iOS development?

Native iOS development means writing an application directly with Apple's tools: the Swift language and the SwiftUI interface framework, with no intermediate layer shared with another operating system. The application then talks to iOS without any detour, which opens up access to functions such as Face ID, ARKit or HealthKit as soon as they are released, without waiting for a third-party tool to support them. For a premium or B2B audience, this translates into a level of fluidity and finish that is noticeable within the first few seconds of use.

What is it used for?

Native iOS development is justified for applications that use advanced system functions, such as facial recognition, augmented reality with ARKit or an integration with the Apple Watch, as well as for premium or B2B uses where the finish is part of the brand image. It becomes less necessary when the goal is to cover iOS and Android quickly on a tight budget, without calling on any Apple-specific function: an application developed in Flutter then often meets that need better.

Use cases

What we build in native iOS

Examples of iOS applications we build when performance and system integration make the difference.

Connected health application

We develop applications that use HealthKit and the iPhone's sensors to track health data continuously, with a level of reliability and confidentiality that only native integration makes it possible to reach in this closed ecosystem.

B2B professional tool

We develop business applications for teams equipped with iPhone or iPad, with strengthened authentication, offline operation and connection to the company's internal tools, designed for intensive professional use day to day.

Premium hospitality application

We develop applications for high-end hotel groups that want a flawless experience on iPhone: booking, concierge service, integrated payment, with a finish that matches the positioning of the establishment.

Legal and finance application

We develop applications for firms and financial players handling sensitive data, with native biometric authentication, local encryption and compliance with the strictest security requirements of the iOS system.

Premium real estate application

We develop viewing applications for high-end real estate players, with interactive maps, augmented reality to visualise a property before works, and an interface true to the brand's positioning.

Connected industrial application

We develop applications for industrial sites equipped with reinforced iPhone or iPad units, with direct access to the device's Bluetooth and NFC sensors, for reliable field readings without depending on an intermediate software layer.

Our expertise

Native iOS development agency

We design and develop native iOS applications in Swift, from functional scoping to publication on the App Store: screen design, development, testing on iPhone and iPad, then validation by Apple. This approach is aimed at projects that demand performance, finish and full access to system functions as soon as they are released.

Native iOS or cross-platform?

Cross-platform is enough for most projects that have to cover Android at the same time, on a controlled budget. Native is justified for performance, recent hardware functions such as ARKit or HealthKit, and premium or B2B audiences where the finish counts from the application's very first screens.

Budget and lead times

The budget of an iOS project is set on quotation, after scoping that fixes the first perimeter and the delivery schedule. It generally takes 21 to 60 days before going live, and 60 days for a broader scope covering several modules.

Our method

From idea to launch

Six steps, from the first conversation to launch — and the support that follows. The process is the same for an e-commerce site or a mobile app; only the deliverables change.

01
Scoping and specifications

Scoping and specifications for your project

We start from your objectives, not from a list of features. Scope, key user journeys, technical constraints and budget: everything is set down in writing before the first line of code. You know what you will get, when, and at what price.

02
UX / UI designs

UX / UI designs approved before development

You see your site or your app before it exists. We design every screen, test the user journeys and refine until navigation feels obvious. An interface approved at the design stage means development work that never goes to waste.

03
Custom development

Development with the right technology

WordPress or WooCommerce for a site you manage yourself, Next.js for a platform, Flutter or Swift for a mobile app: the technology follows your need, never the other way round. We ship regular test builds so you can follow progress in real conditions.

04
Testing and acceptance

Real-world testing and acceptance

Every build is tested on the browsers and devices your customers actually use: screen sizes, OS versions, unstable connections. We fix issues before your users run into them, not after they report them.

05
Go-live

Go-live and launch

We handle the launch end to end: hosting, domain name, redirects in the case of a redesign, analytics tools — and store publication when the project is an app. Nothing is left on your plate on launch day.

06
Maintenance and new features

Maintenance, updates and new features

A website, like an app, keeps evolving: security updates, version upgrades, new features as your feedback comes in. An optional annual plan covers monitoring and support work, and the code belongs to you in every case.

Frequently asked questions

iOS development agency FAQ

The questions company directors ask us most often before launching a native iOS application with our agency.

01How much does a native iOS application cost?

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.

02How long does it take to develop an iOS application?

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.

03Native or cross-platform for an iOS application?

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.

04Can you take over an existing iOS application?

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.

05Who manages maintenance of the application once it is live?

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.

06Do we remain the owners of the code once the application is delivered?

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.

07Does an iOS application help my search visibility?

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.
