iOS Development Company

We at Purrweb provide iOS app development services for startups and businesses, from UX/UI design and MVP development to testing, App Store submission, and post-launch support. We build with React Native or Flutter, with native modules where needed, so your team can deliver iOS and Android apps together.

Our iOS app services

Custom iOS app development

We build custom iOS applications around your product goals, user flows, and agreed scope. The result is a working product with the features needed for its first release and a clear plan for further development.
We offer React Native app development and cross-platform app development, including Android app development alongside your iOS product.

MVP development

We help you define the core feature set for an MVP, prioritize it, and turn the app idea into a release-ready iOS application. This gives you a focused first version to test with users before investing in a broader feature set.

UI/UX design for an iOS application

Our designers map user flows, prepare wireframes, and create a user interface for an iOS application that supports its main scenarios. You receive screen designs and a UI kit that the development team can use throughout implementation.

QA testing

We test the app manually and with automated checks where appropriate. QA covers the agreed functionality and helps identify issues before release, including issues that affect the user experience on physical devices.

App support

After release, we can support the product with bug fixes, new features, and improvements. The maintenance scope is agreed for your project, so the work stays tied to your roadmap and product priorities.

Consultations

If you need to validate an app idea, clarify requirements, or define the first release scope, we can help before development begins. Our mobile app consulting service helps turn early questions into a practical project plan.

Start your project in three steps

1.
Schedule a call
Fill out the form, and our manager will contact you within 24 hours to arrange a call. We can sign an NDA if you need to protect sensitive project details before discussing your iOS app project.
2.
Define the scope
We discuss your app idea, business goals, target audience, constraints, and relevant references. This helps define the work required and the priorities for the first release.
3.
Agree on delivery
We prepare an estimate and project presentation with the scope, cost, timeline, and roadmap. Once the terms are agreed, we sign the contract and begin work as your development partner.

iOS app development process

1.

Systems analysis

The iOS application development process starts with clarifying product requirements, mapping the main user flows, and preparing a project roadmap. This stage gives the team and stakeholders a shared view of how the app should work before implementation starts.
2.

UI/UX design

In the design stage, the agreed logic becomes wireframes, and 1–2 screens from the main user scenario establish the visual direction. After approval, we prepare the remaining screen designs and UI kit for development.
3.

Development

Development runs in 2-week sprints, so you can review progress and discuss changes throughout the project. Trial releases in TestFlight show how the app works on real devices before the final release.
4.

QA testing

QA runs alongside development to check the app’s main scenarios and catch issues before release. We combine manual testing with automated checks where they fit the project.
5.

Release

Before release, the team prepares the app for App Store deployment by completing the submission and supporting the release process. After launch, we can continue with agreed improvements, new features, and maintenance.

Industries we build iOS apps for

Travel

Travel products often need to bring several parts of a trip into one place. An iOS app can connect flight booking, hotel stays, and tour guidance, so users can move through their plans without treating every service as a separate task.

Healthcare

For healthcare teams, the app can keep appointment management and scheduling close to the patient’s routine. Medication reminders give patients a practical reason to return, while doctors have a clearer view of the appointments they need to manage.

Logistics

Logistics teams need a mobile product that reflects how deliveries and related infrastructure are coordinated. An iOS app can bring shipping activity into a working flow shaped around the business requirements of a particular operation.

Wellness & Sport

Wellness products work best when daily practices do not feel like isolated sessions. An iOS app can connect meditation, mindfulness, breathing practices, fitness, and AI-generated workouts into one routine that users can return to over time.

Events

Events create a chain of decisions before anyone arrives at the venue. An iOS app can combine private venue booking, ticket sales dashboards, and price comparisons, so event plans remain accessible to the people organizing or attending them.

Marketplace

A niche marketplace needs more than a catalog of offers. The product can support the daily work behind the platform with loss prevention and workflow automation, helping the team handle recurring operational tasks in the same environment.

Real Estate

Property search becomes harder when tenants have to sort through a long stream of listings without a clear path forward. An iOS app can make browsing more focused and help users compare options as they look for a home that fits their needs.

Media

A media product can use a niche social app to build an experience for a defined paying audience. When the product includes an IoT device, the app can also become part of how users interact with that connected experience.

Finance

Financial products need to make everyday decisions understandable without hiding the work behind them. An iOS app can bring cryptocurrency wallets, stock-market activity, and personal money or investment tasks into an interface built around the product’s core use cases.

Technologies we use

App Store release support

We at Purrweb support App Store release by preparing the App Store listing, managing signing certificates and provisioning profiles, coordinating TestFlight builds, and handling correspondence with Apple during review. The initial review typically takes 24–48 hours. We address feedback related to the submitted build and help coordinate a resubmission when needed, keeping release tasks moving through the review process. Apple makes its own review decision, so App Store approval cannot be guaranteed.

KEM — Payment app

I'm the CEO of KEM, a P2P mobile payment service for the Kuwaiti market, where not everyone has access to online banking. Our banking partners needed an MVP for demonstrations. Purrweb delivered the design and the MVP, working around the restrictions on connecting to the banking API. On completion, they handed the project over to our in-house team with full documentation and a month of technical support.

KEM — Payment app
Fintech, Design+Development, Mobile app, Cross-platform, MENA

KEM is a P2P app for instant money transfers in the Kuwaiti market: linked bank cards, money requests from the contact list, and transaction history. The key challenge: for security reasons, Kuwaiti banks don't allow outside developers to work with their API — so Purrweb built the back end on mock data, fully simulating the final functionality for demos.

I'm building Buzz, an app for finding and organizing events in small American towns. I came to Purrweb with almost nothing — just an idea. Purrweb helped with marketing, brand identity, and the logo, and walked the whole road to MVP with us, even when our requirements shifted a lot in the early stages. I valued the flexibility and the quality of the design.

FAQ

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

On average, from $35,000 to $130,000. The price depends on the app’s complexity. A product with its key feature intact and other functionality omitted will cost around $50,000. More features mean more screens to design and develop. The packages above describe separate project scopes, and an estimate is refined after discussing yours.

How long does iOS app development take?

On average, 3 to 6 months, depending on the project’s complexity. An MVP with a smaller feature set takes less time than a full product with many features. Once the MVP is live, user feedback helps determine which features to build next. Package timelines describe their respective scopes.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. We can sign a non-disclosure agreement on the first call to protect your financial information, investors’ names, marketing plans, and other sensitive project details.

How to choose an iOS app development company?

When choosing an iOS app development company, review its client feedback and portfolio and ask about relevant project experience. When client contact details are available, you can discuss their experience directly. Our published project cases and existing video testimonials show the work and the people behind it. Explore our portfolio.

Will you support the app after release?

Yes. Post-release support can include fixing bugs, adding features, and improving the app. The scope of maintenance and further development is agreed for your project rather than included as an unlimited service.

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

Yes. We help clients release their apps on the App Store. In the SOAK project, our team identified a missing privacy policy early enough to correct it before submission and release the app on time. Read more about this case on our blog.

Do you build native iOS apps or cross-platform?

We at Purrweb build iOS and Android apps with React Native and Flutter, using one codebase for both platforms. When a feature requires it, we bridge a small native Swift module into the app. Cross-platform delivery is our default. A full native-Swift-only build is not what this service specialises in.

What is included in your iOS development services?

Our iOS development services cover product scoping, UX/UI design, app development, QA, and App Store release support. The agreed package defines the feature set, backend work, integrations, and team roles. Post-launch support is scoped separately, so you know which deliverables are included before development begins.
