Why Choose Stateside Digitals for
iOS App Development

Our iOS App
Development Services

As a full-service provider of ios app development services, we handle every stage of building an iOS app, not just the parts that are easy to quote.
01.

Native iOS App Development

We build native iOS apps using Swift and SwiftUI, Apple’s recommended stack for 2026. Native development gives you the best performance, the deepest access to device hardware, and the smoothest long-term maintenance path.

02.

Custom iOS App Development

Off-the-shelf templates rarely fit a real business. Our custom iOS app development covers workflows, integrations, and user flows built around how your business actually operates, not a generic checklist.

03.

iOS UI/UX Design

Our designers build interfaces around Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines, so your app feels familiar to iOS users while still reflecting your brand.

04.

iOS App Modernization

If your iOS app still runs on an old Objective-C codebase, we can migrate it to Swift incrementally, without pausing your releases or forcing a full rebuild from scratch.

05.

Wearable and iOS Companion Apps

We build companion apps for Apple Watch and other connected devices, designed for quick, glanceable interactions rather than a shrunk-down phone screen.

06.

Backend and Cloud Integration

Every iOS app needs a reliable backend behind it. We build and connect iOS apps to cloud infrastructure on platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Firebase, handling authentication, data storage, and real-time syncing.

07.

iOS QA and Device Testing

iOS runs across a smaller but still varied range of iPhone and iPad models. We test across current and recent device generations, so your app doesn’t just work on the one your team happens to own.

08.

iOS Maintenance and App Store Optimization

After launch, we monitor performance, patch bugs, and keep your app updated as new iOS versions roll out. We also offer app store optimization consulting to help your iOS app get found and downloaded.

How Much Does iOS
App Development Cost?

iOS app development cost depends mainly on features, design complexity, and how many integrations your app needs. As a general guide:
01

Simple MVP apps

Core features and a basic design. These typically fall in the lower five-figure range.

02

Standard business apps

Custom UI, backend, user accounts, and integrations. These usually cost more and take longer to build.

03

Enterprise iOS apps

Security requirements, legacy integrations, and larger user bases. These sit at the higher end, often into six figures.

These are general market ranges, not a fixed Stateside quote. Your exact cost depends on your specific app, and we’ll give you a clear, itemized number after a short discovery call.

Native iOS vs. Cross-Platform:
Which Should You Choose?

This is one of the first decisions most clients ask us about, and the honest answer depends on your goals.

Choose Native iOS When

You need deep hardware access, top performance, or iOS-specific features like Apple Watch integration. Native Swift development is also the better long-term choice if iOS is your primary platform and you don’t need an Android version anytime soon.

  • Deep hardware access
  • Best raw performance
  • iOS-first roadmap

Choose Cross-Platform When

You need to launch on both iOS and Android quickly, on a tighter budget, with one shared codebase. We build cross-platform apps with React Native and Flutter for clients who need both platforms without doubling the development cost.

  • One shared codebase
  • Faster to both stores
  • Lower build cost
If you’re not sure which fits your project, we’ll walk you through the tradeoffs on a call instead of just pushing whichever option we prefer to build.

How We Work

01Discovery

We learn your business, your users, and what success looks like for this iOS app before writing a line of code.

02Design

Our designers map out the user experience and iOS-specific UI, so you can see and test the app before development starts.

03Development

Our developers build your app using Swift and SwiftUI, with regular check-ins so you always know where the project stands.

04Testing

Every app goes through QA testing on real iOS devices before it ships, so bugs get caught before your users find them.

05Launch and Support

We handle App Store submission and stay on for maintenance, updates, and monitoring after launch.

Industries We Build iOS Apps For

We’ve built iOS apps for healthcare, fintech, retail, logistics, real estate, and other industries, each with its own compliance needs and user expectations.
A healthcare iOS app has to handle patient data carefully. A logistics iOS app has to track vehicles and deliveries in real time. We take the time to understand your industry’s rules before we start building.

What to Look for in an iOS
App Development Company

Not every ios app development company operates the same way, and picking the wrong one can cost you months and a rebuild. Here’s what’s worth checking before you sign anything:
01

Do they use a modern tech stack?

If a company is still building purely in Objective-C with old-style UIKit views in 2026, they’re building on outdated foundations.

02

Do they test on real devices?

iOS has fewer device variations than Android, but a company that only tests on the simulator can still miss bugs and performance issues that only show up on a real phone.

03

Is pricing clear before you start?

A vague quote that “depends on scope” without real numbers is a red flag. Ask for an itemized estimate, the kind any established ios app development agency should be able to hand you without hesitation.

04

Do you keep ownership of your code?

Make sure your contract states clearly that you own the source code and your App Store Connect account, not the agency.

05

Is support included after launch?

An app that works on launch day can break months later when Apple releases a new iOS version. Ask what happens after the contract ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you build iOS apps in Swift or Objective-C?

We build in Swift, which has been Apple’s preferred language for iOS development since 2014. We can still maintain or migrate older Objective-C codebases if you already have one, but new iOS apps we build are written in Swift using SwiftUI.

How much does it cost to build an iOS app?

Do you also build for Android, or just iOS?

Who owns the app after it’s built?

Do you offer support after the app launches?
