Steps in creating a mobile application for iOS
Let's take a closer look at the stages of iOS app development. Our team carries out a full range of work:
It is important to provide the audience with an application that stands out from the competition. Before writing the brief, we analyse the design, structure and functionality of similar applications. We take into account the mistakes made by competitors to give users more options.
When developing an application, we take into account business objectives and user needs. We make original choices about design and functionality, but we also follow the trends relevant to a particular industry.
The Terms of Reference contain a detailed description of the structure, design, functionality and content of the mobile application. Every nuance is discussed in detail, agreed with the client and recorded in the Terms of Reference to ensure that no unforeseen situations arise during the development process.
We adhere to the principles of Material Design, work in the integrated iOS Studio development environment and ensure strict compliance with Google's requirements.
We carry out front-end and back-end development, create an administration panel for managing the application. We inform the client about the intermediate results of the design, provide the opportunity to control and track the progress of the project.
We check the operation of the programme, identify errors and correct them immediately. We guarantee its smooth operation and absence of errors until the moment of placement. Our applications meet Google's requirements, so they are moderated without delay.

Purpose of the programme
What is the programme supposed to do, why was it created and how much does it affect the business?
Complexity of functionality
What options should be available to users and whether further expansion and scaling of the product should be considered.
Design requirements
Whether you need complex animated objects, 3D graphics or unique design elements.
Conditions of work
How quickly the project needs to be implemented and how many people need to be involved in the development.

START FILL THE BRIEFNative iOS development: advantages over cross-platform
Native development involves building an application specifically for iOS using elements that are native to the operating system. Development takes into account the features of the platform and Google’s specific requirements.
- Native development ensures the application is stable, more flexible and allows you to scale functionality.
- Compared to cross-platform products, native applications are virtually unlimited in their architecture.
- Using consistent native elements reduces the cost of technical support.
- Native iOS apps deliver high performance with complex animated interface elements.
- More integration options with third party platforms.
- The interface is designed according to Google’s Material Design principles. The application meets the requirements of Google Play and is quickly moderated in the store.
The technology is used in advanced applications designed for long-term operation and continuous dynamic development.
How to build an iOS app: languages and programming environments
Programming for iOS is done in Java or Kotlin. Java is the most widely used language, has many open source libraries, offers developers a wide range of possibilities, is the leading language and is often preferred by Google.
Kotlin is a newer language that appeared in 2017 and immediately took second place behind Java. The advantages of Kotlin are compactness of code, ease of support and application updates. Today, both languages are enjoying about the same level of success. Resource-intensive applications and games are built using Visual C++ and similar languages. It is up to the developer to decide which language is better for writing a particular application.
Google’s official application development environment is iOS Studio. It supports all three major programming languages and provides developers with a variety of convenient and practical tools for creating high-quality applications.
Agile development methodology Scrum
We achieve development quality and productivity through a professional approach and the use of the Scrum methodology. The essence is as follows. The list of project tasks is divided into sprints – short cycles of a few days during which the team completes a clearly defined amount of work. At the end of each sprint, the developers deliver an interim result. The client can track the progress of the work and monitor the effectiveness of the project.
This allows you to track the quality of each stage of work, identify and correct weaknesses and errors in a timely manner, and avoid delays in completing tasks. If necessary, the sequence of actions can be changed, adjusted or redirected – an important advantage of agile development. Scrum planning ensures that the application is delivered on time, as agreed in the contract. As a result, the mobile development process becomes transparent to the customer, and the result is guaranteed to be of high quality.
Methods to promote iOS applications
For Promotion of Android applications using different technologies:
- Contextual advertising – showing ads in search engines and on websites to users who have previously been interested in a similar product or area.
- Targeted advertising is the delivery of text and multimedia ads on social networks to audiences that meet specific parameters.
- SMM promotion on social networks.
- Place a link or QR code on your own website.
- Content promotion, guerrilla marketing.
- Launch and paid advertising of a landing page to promote the app.
- Offline methods – outdoor, print, TV, mass media.
- Ordering advertising from bloggers, thematic reviews from opinion leaders.
Why it is important to outsource application development to professionals?
Developers without sufficient experience can face certain difficulties and pitfalls when working with the iOS platform. Firstly, there are many versions of iOS, a huge number of smartphone and tablet models with screens of different sizes and resolutions. The slightest mistake and the interface crashes.
Another feature of iOS is increased competition. It is relatively easy to get on Google Play and the number of applications on this platform is constantly growing. There is a lot of competition in every niche, so it is very important to be different, to stand out from similar products.
Mobile users are demanding in terms of application quality, performance and usability. Failing apps are deleted with a single touch, so developers have no room for error and must be constantly on their toes to maintain application uptime and release relevant updates on a regular basis.
Correct operation on all devices, competitiveness and absence of errors – only professionals with extensive experience can guarantee such a result.
