iPhone app development process at Orangesoft

From as early as brainstorming the idea to post-release support, we have you covered all the way.

01. Scoping and estimation

Our collaboration starts with a deep dive into your business idea, software requirements, and expected results. Our team engages with your project and evaluates it through the prism of market trends, competitors, and target audience. We also outline all aspects of your project and tie them to expected milestones, costs, deadlines, and deliverables.

02. Planning

To get a better grasp of your product vision, we run product workshops as a vital point of the software development process. This stage helps us tap deeper into the minds of the end users and arrive at the most meaningful app features and interfaces. At the end of this stage, we'll present you with initial app design drafts, wireframes, and accurate project requirements — all mapped in the project documentation.

03. Design and development

Next, we polish your application designs and jump straight into software development. Our iOS app developers pick the optimal set of technologies to make your solution high-performing, secure, and dynamic. Final deliverables are rigorously checked by our testing engineers. The timeline of this stage depends on your project’s complexity and scope.

04. Application release

When your product is up and running, we deploy it into the environment and prepare the application for release. Our team also assists you in submitting the application to the App Store and meeting Apple’s guidelines. When your application is live, we also provide ongoing support.

05. Product growth

To ensure the long-term success of your application, we offer post-production support and app maintenance. Our support team keeps an eye on your product and continually enhances it with new features, security patches, and other boosters to accelerate your business growth.

Why сhoose native iOS app development?

As your app development partner, we make sure you make the most from native iOS applications.

Impressive performance

Native applications are written in Swift and Objective-C, which are both natural extensions of Apple's ecosystem. Therefore, our platform-specific solutions integrate natively with iOS devices, which increases application performance and speed.

Device-specific features

Native iPhone apps employ the full kit of device-specific features, be it a smartphone’s camera, GPS, or microphone. Leveraging these capabilities allows for supreme user experience and a larger spectrum of app features compared with cross-platform solutions.

Maturity and support

Backed by Apple, Swift and Objective-C get regular updates and robust community support that enrich the existing capabilities of the programming languages. Native technologies also have a diverse ecosystem of libraries, extensions, and any other add-ons needed for a successful product.

Excellent UX/UI

Thanks to maximum device compatibility, native iOS applications provide an unrivaled user experience. The single-platform design lets native solutions automatically adjust to different screen sizes without compromising design. Smooth and stable performance contributes to satisfying user flows.

Future-proof and scalable

Native iPhone app development helps you more easily adjust to evolving market needs and a growing user base. Built to run on one platform, native solutions are faster to scale and adopt new features.

Questions you might have

What are the benefits of outsourcing iOS app development?

  • Faster time-to-market
  • No administrative and hiring costs or burdens
  • Focus on core business processes

How to choose the right iPhone application development company?

  • Proven expertise: years of operation, cross-domain expertise, portfolio with similar projects
  • Testimonials and brand reputation: Clutch, GoodFirms, and other review platforms
  • Relevant tech stacks: iOS-related programming languages, libraries, frameworks, and databases

How much does it cost to develop an iOS application?

The pricing varies by project, depending on your application complexity. The number of features, UX/UI elements, backend infrastructure, and other cost drivers influence the total price.

You can find an exhaustive list of factors in our guide.

For accurate project estimation, please contact our consultants and describe your project idea.

How long does iOS app development take?

The project timeline differs by the project. A simple iOS application may take up to four months, while high-complexity projects can take on average nine months. Mid-project changes, your team’s experience, and the clarity of project requirements can also speed up or slow down the software development process.

You can find approximate time estimates in our guide.

What programming language is the best for iOS development?

To build an iPhone application, our team relies on Swift and Objective-C, which are time-tested languages supported by Apple. However, Swift is definitely the recommended language for modern iOS application development. It is believed to be faster, more secure, and offers better support.

Should I develop for Android or iOS first?

Each platform has its pros and cons. To select the right option, you should first delve into the demographics and location of your target audience. For example, iOS dominates in Japan and the US, while Android trounces the competition in China and India.

Budget and timeline should be among other differentiating factors for your choice of platform. In this case, we recommend consulting your app development partner agency to get an estimate for each platform. Alternatively, you can build a minimum viable product (MVP) for each platform and see where it fares better.
