What You Get With Our iOS App Development Services

🎨

Does the app follow Apple's Human Interface Guidelines?

Every screen is designed to Apple's HIG specification — intuitive navigation, native gestures, and platform-consistent controls that pass App Store review first time.

How fast will the iOS app perform on older iPhones?

We profile and optimise Swift code from day one. Apps are tested on devices from iPhone 12 to the latest models, targeting sub-1-second load times and smooth 60fps animations throughout.

🔒

Is the app secure enough for financial or health data?

We implement Keychain storage, biometric authentication (Face ID / Touch ID), end-to-end encryption, and Certificate Pinning. HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR-aligned builds available.

🔗

Can the app connect to our existing backend systems?

Yes — we integrate with any REST or GraphQL API, third-party services (Stripe, Twilio, Salesforce), and cloud backends using URLSession and Alamofire with proper error handling.

📊

How will we track user behaviour and app crashes?

Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, or Amplitude are integrated from the start. Crash reporting via Firebase Crashlytics gives you real-time alerts before users even notice an issue.

🔔

Can we send personalised push notifications to users?

Rich push notifications are implemented via APNs with deep linking, image attachments, and scheduled or triggered delivery — fully integrated with your CRM or marketing platform.

💳

How do we monetise the iOS app with subscriptions?

StoreKit 2 integration handles auto-renewable subscriptions, consumables, and one-time purchases. We also implement receipt validation and subscription management UI following Apple guidelines.

☁️

Can user data sync across multiple Apple devices?

CloudKit and iCloud integration provides seamless data sync across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac, with offline-first architecture using Core Data for reliability without internet.

Our iOS App Development Process

01

Discovery & Technical Architecture

We run a structured discovery workshop to map user journeys, data models, and third-party integrations — producing a detailed technical specification before any code is written.

02

UI/UX Design & Prototype Review

Our designers produce HIG-compliant Figma screens and an interactive prototype. You test real interactions and approve designs before development sprints begin.

03

Agile Development & TestFlight QA

Two-week Agile sprints deliver working TestFlight builds you can install and test. Automated XCTest suites run on every PR; manual QA covers the full device and OS matrix.

04

App Store Launch & Post-Launch Care

We manage the complete App Store submission, handle any review feedback from Apple, monitor crash reports in production, and provide 30 days of free post-launch support.

iOS App Development FAQs

Common questions about our ios app development services.

Ask Us Anything →
How much does iOS app development cost in Australia?
iOS app development in Australia starts from AUD $25,000 for a simple single-feature MVP and ranges to AUD $200,000+ for complex enterprise platforms with real-time features, custom backends, and multi-role user flows. OpenMalo provides a fixed-price quote after a free 60-minute discovery session — no surprises.
How long does it take to build an iOS app in Melbourne?
A basic iOS MVP takes 8–12 weeks from design to App Store submission. A mid-complexity app with multiple user roles and backend integration typically takes 3–5 months. A complex enterprise app with AI features or real-time data can take 6–12 months. We provide a milestone-based timeline in every proposal.
Do you handle Apple App Store submission and review?
Yes — completely. We manage App Store Connect account setup, app metadata, privacy nutrition labels, screenshots, localisation, and the review submission. We also respond to any Apple review team queries or rejection feedback on your behalf.
Should I build a native iOS app or a cross-platform app with Flutter?
If your app needs deep iOS-specific features (Live Activities, WidgetKit, ARKit, Core ML, Apple Watch), native Swift development is the right choice. For apps with standard features targeting both iOS and Android simultaneously, Flutter or React Native offers faster and more cost-effective delivery. We'll recommend the right approach for your specific use case.
What iOS versions and iPhone models do you support?
By default we support iOS 16 and above, covering approximately 97% of active iPhone users based on Apple's adoption statistics. We can target iOS 15 if your audience requires it. We test on physical devices across iPhone 12, 14, 15, and 16 model lines as well as the full iPhone SE range.
Can you build both the iOS app and the backend API?
Yes. Our full-stack team builds Node.js, Laravel, or Python/FastAPI backends and RESTful or GraphQL APIs entirely in-house. You get a single point of contact for the entire technical project, with consistent architecture decisions across frontend and backend.
How do you protect my app idea before we sign a contract?
We sign a mutual NDA before any detailed project discussion — typically within one business day of your request. Your app concept, business logic, and any shared documents are fully protected from the first conversation.
Can you add features to my existing iOS app?
Yes. We begin with a paid technical audit of your existing codebase to assess code quality, architecture, and security posture. We then provide a clear, prioritised plan for adding features or addressing technical debt — typically delivered within one week.
How do you test iOS apps before submission?
Every build goes through automated XCTest unit and UI tests running in CI/CD via GitHub Actions. We also conduct structured manual testing across a real-device matrix covering iPhone 12 to iPhone 16 and key iOS versions. TestFlight beta testing with your stakeholders is standard practice.
What ongoing support do you provide after the iOS app launches?
We offer flexible post-launch maintenance plans from AUD $1,500/month. These cover iOS version compatibility updates (each new iOS release), App Store policy compliance, crash monitoring, bug fixes, and agreed feature enhancements with monthly reporting.
