04
Testing and QA
Testing on real devices, load testing, and validation of user scenarios.
05
App Store launch
Preparing assets, passing Apple's review, and optimizing the listing (ASO) for maximum visibility.
06
Post-launch analytics
Install tracking, push analytics, and study of user behavior. The data that shapes the next updates.
BUSINESS VALUE
Why an iOS app is an investment in growth
iPhone users are a premium audience with high purchasing power. Here's what an app does for your business:
A direct line to customers
Push notifications, company news, promotions — your customers hear it first. No middlemen, no ad budgets.
User behavior, install sources, conversions — your marketers get real data to drive growth strategies.
Lower ad costs
Launching new products through the app costs 3–5× less than traditional channels. Testing is instant.
Stay ahead of competitors
Apple Pay, ARKit, Siri Shortcuts — technologies that competitors without an app simply can't use.
Brand value
A genuinely useful app lifts how people see your brand. Customers feel looked after — and loyalty grows on its own.

Common Questions
iOS Development Questions, Answered
Clear answers on how we work and what it costs
MVP: from $20,000. Standard: from $40,000. Enterprise: from $75,000. The Apple Developer Program ($99/year) is separate.
from $20K
MVP
By 40%. One project = iOS + Android. We recommend it for 80% of business apps that don't require deep hardware integration.
Yes. Apple requires regular updates. New iOS versions ship every year — adapting is a must. Support: from $3,000/mo.
Yes. We offer two approaches: native development (separate Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android) for maximum performance, or cross-platform development to save budget. The choice depends on your priorities — speed to market or the best possible UX.
95% of our apps pass review on the first try. We know all of Apple's requirements and account for them during design. If review turns up issues, we fix them free of charge under warranty and resubmit.
Yes, we work in Agile. Two-week sprints with a demo after each one. You see the progress and can reprioritize. Significant changes affect timeline and budget — we always flag them in advance.
Native: maximum performance and access to every Apple capability. Cross-platform: one project for iOS + Android, 40% cheaper. For business apps, we recommend cross-platform.
MVP: 4–6 weeks. Standard app: 2–3 months. Complex (offline mode, health, augmented reality): 3–5 months. First prototype in 2 weeks.
95% of our apps are approved on the first try. We know all of Apple's design and functionality requirements. We prepare screenshots, descriptions, and the privacy policy.
95%
first-try approval
Yes. Universal apps for iPhone + iPad. Extensions for Apple Watch, widgets, Live Activities. The Apple ecosystem is our specialty.
Apple Pay, HealthKit, augmented reality, push notifications, Sign in with Apple, voice assistant. Any business systems and services.
Architecture decisions made in week one determine maintenance costs for the next three years. We make those decisions deliberately, not by default. Here are the principles every AWDS iOS project follows.
Every iOS project starts with a decision: a single modular app or a multi-target workspace? The answer depends on team size, release cadence, and how many Apple platforms you target — not trend following. For most products, a well-structured Swift app with clear feature-module boundaries outperforms a premature split into frameworks. You get simpler builds, shared authentication, and one release pipeline instead of twelve.
When the product grows to iPad, Apple Watch, and widgets, we decompose into Swift packages with a shared domain core. Each package owns its models, communicates through well-defined interfaces, and is tested independently. The app layer handles navigation, dependency injection, and offline sync. Our internal playbook, refined across fintech and retail apps, includes decision matrices for when to split — never before the core proves the domain model.
Architecture Principles
Modular-first — prove the domain before splitting into packages
Security layers — Keychain storage, certificate pinning, biometric auth at every boundary
The iOS audience is a premium segment. Higher conversion, higher order value, fewer returns. If your business targets high-spending customers — start with iOS.
×2.5
Average order value
iOS users spend 2.5× more than Android users. An investment in an iOS app pays back faster.
99.9%
Crash-free
Flawless stability. Apple rewards quality — a high crash-free rate means better placement in the App Store.
1 day
App Store review
Our apps pass Apple's review on the first try. With 40+ published apps behind us, we know every requirement by heart.
Every app is unique. The cost depends on the scale of the work, interface complexity, and business requirements.
Feature set
A calculator with 5 screens and a marketplace with 50+ screens differ by 10×. We help you define the MVP and scale up after launch.
Interface complexity
UX design isn't about "making it look nice." It's the right button placement, smooth navigation, and conversion-driven flows. Complex UX means more hours of research.
Project team
Junior vs senior, freelancer vs team. We work as one team under a single contract, with a PM and transparent reporting at every stage.
Fixed price vs hourly?
We offer both. For projects with a clear brief — fixed price. For iterative development — T&M with weekly reports.

Our members live between the gym floor and their lock screen, so the home-screen widgets AWDS built matter more than any feature list — streaks and next-class times sit right there without opening the app. The Apple Health hookup means workouts log themselves. Feels like something Cupertino would have shipped, which from our crowd is the compliment.

Patient messaging is not a domain where you wing the review process. AWDS prepared the App Store submission with the same rigour they wrote the Swift code — privacy declarations, data-handling notes, the lot — and Apple approved the first build we sent. Clinics with unreliable wifi were our worry; offline-first synchronisation has made that complaint disappear from our tickets.

We put iPads in the hands of floor staff across every branch — stock lookups, endless-aisle orders, signature capture with the Pencil. The part I did not expect: training new hires now takes days, not weeks, because the app follows Apple's own interface conventions and people just know where things are. The Apple Business Manager rollout they simply took off our plate.

Sketches in autumn, App Store by winter. Subscription coffee with live courier tracking — and during the support window they caught an Apple Pay edge case before any customer hit it.
