iOS APP DEVELOPMENT

iOS development refers to making mobile apps that run on Apple devices via the iOS system. That includes devices such as iPads and some iPods as well as iPhones and Apple Watches. Dev for iOS means creating apps that work specifically for these devices and can be provided via the Apple app store. That means programming in one of two languages: Swift or Objective-C. These coding languages aren't typically used outside of iOS development.

App development, including for iOS systems, is similar to other types of software dev in principle. However, the developers must know how to create for the mobile environment, which typically means developing apps that run well on devices with limited power and storage capabilities. 

For example, if you download a math software system on your desktop computer, all the functionality and data may exist on the device. With an app, you might rely on an internet connection to a network system for some of the functionality, making network connections and integrations an important aspect of iOS app development.

You can find app developers via recommendations from business partners, on freelance tech professional sites or by hiring an experienced company such as Net Solutions. Working with a design and development firm helps ensure you're connecting with iOS developers that have all the necessary skills to get the job done right, especially if you're not sure how to vet these highly technical skills yourself. On top of experience with Swift or Objective-C, iOS app developers must have excellent spatial reasoning capability, understand how to implement design guidelines, be experienced in networking and version control, and have other skills specific to app and iOS dev. 

Net Solutions is a holistic design and development firm, which means we're able to deliver creative design and agile development that ensures your app stands out in the crowd. With tens of thousands of apps to scroll through in the app store, users need a reason to choose yours — and we offer that difference.

The cost to make an iOS app depends on a variety of factors, which is the case with the cost for any app development. The complexity and type of app you need, whether you want a lot of integrations and whether the design is completely from-scratch or templated all play a role in how much app dev can cost. Average prices range from $30k to $700k with some apps coming in well above or below those ranges. For more information about the cost of developing an app, reach out to discuss options with our iOS dev teams.

The time to build an app also depends on various factors. If you're looking for a simple, minimum viable product, the answer might be measured in weeks. Businesses looking for more comprehensive or complex tools should expect an answer that's measured in months. Reach out to Net Solutions with some information about your business requirements for an app to get a better estimate on timelines.

You might have heard that Apple offers some great security options for its customers. That's true for iOS app development too. For example, developers can use features such as iOS Data Protection APIs to support protection for user data. Net Solutions uses the data security resources available in iOS development to appropriately protect data, and we work closely with clients to understand security and compliance needs to ensure the iOS apps we develop meet those requirements.

Yes, we provide assistance in submitting your iOS app to the app store and ensuring that it's accepted. We also offer optimization services to help potential users find your app. Our dev teams understand the requirements of app store submission, which puts you in a better position going into the process.

Net Solutions provides a wide range of services, including original app creation for clients. Depending on your agreement with us, you may own the source code of your iOS app. It may depend on the app’s development and the type of service you requested. Developing a template-based app or one relying on open-source code, for example, is different from developing a from-scratch based app.
