iOS App Development

AIGard builds native iOS apps for iPhone and iPad that feel fast and at home on the platform. We cover design, build, back end, testing and App Store release.

The work typically covers:

• Native iOS development in Swift
• UI built to Apple's design guidelines
• API and back-end integration
• Offline support and sync
• Automated testing
• App Store submission and updates

iOS App Development is usually the right investment in one or more of these situations:

• You need the best performance and platform features
• Your audience is primarily on iPhone
• An existing iOS app needs modernizing
• You're adding on-device AI

On a 30-minute scoping call we confirm whether it fits your case and recommend a team shape and first milestones.

Native iOS suits apps that need top performance or deep platform features, while cross-platform suits most business apps and costs less to maintain. AIGard advises based on your product.

Native is typically the stronger choice when your audience is primarily on iPhone or you are adding on-device AI. We discuss the trade-off in the scoping conversation and set out our recommendation in the written proposal, and we will say plainly if native is not the right fit.

Yes, AIGard handles App Store submission for the iOS apps we build, including review requirements and release management.

Submission is part of a scope that also covers design, build, back end and testing. We build the interface to Apple's design guidelines, and we continue to manage App Store updates after the first release.

It depends on the product. Native development suits applications that depend on device capabilities or performance; cross-platform suits teams that need both platforms quickly from one codebase.

We recommend an approach after reviewing your users, feature set and roadmap, and staff engineers for the platforms your product runs on.

Yes. Product designers work in the same team as the engineers, so research, interface design and build are coordinated.

Designs are tested against real constraints early, which avoids rework late in delivery.

For iOS App Development, AIGard engineers typically work with Swift, GraphQL, Node.js, Python and AWS.

The stack is selected to fit the systems you already run, and engineers are matched to it before they join.

iOS App Development is available through any of AIGard’s three engagement models: staff augmentation, where engineers join your team; a dedicated team that runs the workstream; or software outsourcing, where AIGard delivers a defined project.

The choice depends on how much of the delivery you want to manage, and it can change later under the same agreement.

Engineers typically start within two to four weeks of the scoping call. The exact date depends on the roles, seniority and number of people required.

We confirm a realistic start date in writing before you commit, and you meet the proposed engineers before work begins.

AIGard engineers typically cost 30–50% less than the fully loaded cost of a comparable US-based hire, with no recruiting fees, benefits overhead or insurance costs on your side.

The figure for a specific engagement depends on the model, the roles, the seniority mix and the size of the team. We issue a written proposal after the scoping call, so the commercial terms are agreed before any work starts.

NDAs are signed before any access is given, and engineers work inside your environment under least-privilege access, with permissions limited to their responsibilities.

Access is reviewed as roles change and removed when work ends. Our practices align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA, with PII masking, encryption and audit logging built into data work. We review your access policies, data-handling needs and vendor requirements during scoping.

You do. Intellectual property assignment is written into every contract, in every engagement model.

That covers source code, designs, documentation, data, models and prompts produced for you. Third-party components and their licenses are identified, so ownership is clear at handover.
