iOS app development for iPhone and iPad

We build and maintain native iPhone and iPad apps in Swift: point-of-sale, maps and property data, streaming, smart devices and member apps, with the back end behind them. You own the code we write for you.

iOS apps we have built

Selected projects from our case studies.

Point of sale

An iPad point-of-sale app with card payments, receipt printing, reports and accounting export, maintained over six years. See the retail POS case study.

Maps and property data

Parcel maps and tax data with property lines over Apple Maps, sold through in-app purchase. See the Mappilli case study.

Smart devices

An app that controls a Wi-Fi baby-formula machine, with profiles, a diary and statistics. See the Diluo case study.

Streaming and media

Live and on-demand audio with ads and emergency alerts. See the Yiddish24 case study.

Payments and subscriptions

Native Stripe and PayPal checkout, Apple in-app purchase and subscriptions. See the Beliri case study.

App Store and upkeep

App Store releases, updates for new iOS versions, fixes and new features.

Native iOS or cross-platform?

A native Swift app is the better choice when the app leans on Apple hardware and frameworks: Bluetooth devices, Apple Maps, Apple Pay, background tasks or a polished iPad experience.

When the same app must also run on Android and the budget is for one team, a cross-platform app or Flutter is often enough. For Android, see Android development.

What clients say

We are a UK based company, that this was our first hire via oDesk, building out a very complex iPhone application. I've completed some very complex work with the help of Gursharan, used main different aspects of the iPhone SDK - StoreKit, GPS, Table Views (All widgets), CoreData, CoreAnimation, CoreGraphic and so on. Gursharan has met these challenges head on and delivered consistently.

Communication via Skype has been excellent, and he has taken my specifications and interpreted these into good quality, crash free code.

I'll be hiring him again soon.

This coder is a coder that first off all you can trust on.

I have allot of experience in the outsourcing business and it is very hard to find someone that understand all your tasks, provide the end project on time and delivers a great result with a smooth code.

This kind of person is Ankit Verma, his service was great, and he listened to all of our needs and read carefully our specification.

Great coder to work with, we will definitely continue to work with him in the future in other projects.

Neelesh was excellent to work with! He was dedicated to the project and took extra measures to work late into the night on multiple occasions to adhere to our very expedited timeline. He was very cooperative, even when last minute changes/requests were made last minute. The iPhone app works great! Neelesh will definitely be getting more work from us!

Technologies we use

What our iOS apps are built with. Linked technologies open our page for them.

Frequently asked questions

Do you build apps in Swift?

Yes. We offer custom Swift development for iOS and macOS, and migration of existing apps to Swift.

Do you also build Android apps?

Yes. See our Android development page, or hybrid apps to cover both platforms from one codebase.

Do you test and maintain iOS apps?

Yes. We offer iOS application testing and maintenance.

How do I get a quote?

Use the form on this page or book a project call. Tell us what you need and we come back with questions and next steps.

How can we work together?

There are three ways, on the same terms:

  • Dedicated team, best for ongoing work: interview the developers, then they work on your project full or part time.
  • Fixed scope, best when requirements are clear: we agree the scope and the price up front, and deliver against it.
  • Time and material, best when the scope will change: you pay for the time used and can change priorities as the work goes on.

Whichever you choose, we sign an NDA before work starts, you own the code we write, and every change is reviewed in your repository.

Can I interview the developers before we start?

Yes. For a dedicated team you meet the developers in an online call and interview them before they join your project.

Have an iPhone app in mind?

Tell us what the app should do. We come back with questions, a suggested approach and an estimate.
