ISSUE #01
App Review Rejects After Weeks of Dev
Apple App Review rejects apps for dozens of reasons — missing privacy manifest, incorrect IAP flow, incomplete permission strings. Each rejection adds 1–2 weeks of rework on your launch timeline.
Our fix
Pre-submit HIG compliance check, full PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy audit for every third-party SDK, and reviewer response handling — zero first-submission rejections across our portfolio.
iOS Capabilities
Built for the Apple ecosystem
Swift + SwiftUI
Apple's modern language and UI framework. Faster development, better performance, and native animations that feel exactly right on iOS — no cross-platform compromises.
Apple Security Stack
Face ID / Touch ID via LocalAuthentication, Keychain storage, App Transport Security, and Sign in with Apple — all implemented to Apple's exact specifications.
StoreKit 2 & In-App Purchases
Subscriptions, consumables, and non-consumables with server-side receipt validation, RevenueCat integration, and App Store pricing management.
APNs Push & Live Activities
Rich push notifications with images, actions, deep links. Live Activities for Dynamic Island, notification categories, quiet hours — fully configured from day one.
iCloud & Apple Sign-In
CloudKit sync across devices, Sign in with Apple (required by App Store guidelines), and Handoff between iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
iPhone & iPad Universal
Adaptive SwiftUI layouts for every device size. Split View, sheet presentation, safe area compliance, and pointer interaction on iPad — one codebase.
Beyond the App
Deep into the Apple ecosystem
We build for every Apple surface — not just the main app.
iOS 16+
App Clips
Let users experience core features without installing — scan a QR code, get instant access.
Dynamic Island
Widgets & Live Activities
Home screen widgets and Dynamic Island updates — keep your app surface visible without opening it.
SiriKit
Siri Shortcuts
Expose key actions to Siri and the Shortcuts app — power-user workflows at voice command.
watchOS 9+
Apple Watch Extension
Companion watchOS app for wrist-accessible glances at your core data and quick actions.
Our Process
HIG → Design → Build → App Store
From HIG audit to App Store listing — transparent sprint delivery you can track in real time.
01Week 1–2
HIG Audit & Platform Planning
We map every feature against Apple Human Interface Guidelines before writing a line of code. Anything that causes App Review rejection — incorrect IAP flow, missing privacy policy link, wrong permission strings — is caught upfront. Deliverable: product brief + HIG compliance checklist.
02Week 2–4
SwiftUI Design & Prototype
High-fidelity Figma screens designed to iOS 17+ patterns — Safe Area, SF Symbols, Dynamic Type, and Dark Mode. Every user flow prototyped and reviewed on real iPhones and iPads before engineering begins.
03Week 4–10
Swift Development & XCTest
MVVM + async/await. Unit tests with XCTest, UI automation with XCUITest. Code review on every PR. Firebase Crashlytics from sprint one. TestFlight internal builds every two weeks — full visibility.
04Week 10+
TestFlight Beta & App Store Launch
Internal testing → external beta → App Store submission with ASO-optimized metadata, screenshots, and privacy manifest. We write reviewer communication if anything comes back.

FAQ
Questions we get all the time
If yours is not here, reach out. We respond within 24 hours with a real answer from an engineer — not a sales pitch.
We target iOS 16+ by default, covering 95%+ of active iPhones. iOS 15 is possible — trade-off is losing some SwiftUI APIs and Live Activities, which adds development time.
Apple reviews every submission within 24–48 hours. We've submitted dozens of apps and know what causes rejection. We write App Store Connect metadata and handle any reviewer response.
Yes. All our iOS apps are Universal — they adapt to iPhone, iPad, and optionally Mac via Catalyst. iPad builds use Split View, keyboard shortcut support, and pointer interactions.
Yes. We're full-stack. Node.js, Go, or Firebase alongside the app, or integrate with your existing API. API contract is designed from the start — both sides move in sync.
A focused Swift/SwiftUI MVP for iPhone typically runs $30,000–$70,000, while a Universal app with iPad support, StoreKit subscriptions, CloudKit sync, and a backend ranges $70,000–$150,000+. We scope a fixed price after the HIG audit and discovery week so there are no open-ended hourly surprises.
Not on our watch — we hold a 100% first-submission approval rate. Before submitting we run a full Apple HIG compliance check, audit every SDK's PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy and required reason codes, verify IAP and permission strings, and confirm a working privacy policy link. If a reviewer does raise a question, we write the response and handle the appeal.
We ship internal TestFlight builds every two weeks during development for your team, then open an external beta to up to 10,000 testers before App Store launch. TestFlight gives real-device crash logs and feedback, and external builds go through a quick Apple beta review (usually under 24 hours). It is the safest way to catch issues before public release.
Yes. Beyond the core iPhone and iPad app we build watchOS companion apps, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with WidgetKit, Live Activities for the Dynamic Island, App Clips, and Siri Shortcuts. CloudKit keeps data in sync across every device the user owns.
“They built our SaaS from scratch — auth, billing, dashboards, the works. Running 14 months with 99.97% uptime. When we needed features, the code was so clean changes were fast.”
