iPhone App Development for Fort Lauderdale Businesses
An iOS app is an app built only for Apple devices: iPhone, iPad and, if you need it, Apple Watch. We build them "natively," which means we use Apple's own tools and languages. Native apps load fast, feel right in your hand and get full use of the phone's features.
We're an iOS app developer based in Fort Lauderdale. We plan the app with you, design every screen, write the code in Swift and get it through App Store review. When it's live, the code and the Apple developer account are yours.
Most of our iOS clients are startups testing a new idea and local businesses that want an app for their customers. Some are companies that need a tool for their own staff. Call (954) 751-4998 to talk it through.
What's Included in an iOS App Project
Planning and Scope
We agree on who the app is for, what it must do at launch and what can wait. You get it in writing.
Screen Design
Wireframes first, then a polished design that follows Apple's design guidelines, so the app feels at home on an iPhone.
Swift Development
We write the app in Swift and SwiftUI, Apple's current tools. It's the code Apple's own teams use.
Backend and Admin
Most apps need accounts, data storage and an admin panel. We often use Firebase for this, which keeps costs down.
Testing on Real Devices
We test on real iPhones and iPads as well as a simulator, and we send you beta builds through TestFlight.
App Store Submission
We prepare the listing, screenshots and privacy details, then submit the app and handle any feedback from Apple.
Our iOS Tech Stack
- Swift
- SwiftUI
- Firebase
- TestFlight
Swift is Apple's modern language for iPhone apps. SwiftUI is how we build the screens. Firebase handles sign-in, data and push alerts for most of our apps. If you already have a backend, we connect to it instead.
What an iOS App Costs
Building for one platform is one of the best ways to save money. Most single-platform business apps fall between $20,000 and $50,000. A lean first version of a startup app can start at $15,000 to $30,000. A clickable prototype you can show investors costs $9,500 to $15,000.
Apps that handle sensitive data, like health records or payments, need more security and testing. Those start around $40,000. The cost depends on your features, your backend and whether you'll add Android later.

How We Build Your iOS App
Free Consultation
We learn about your idea and your users. We'll sign an NDA first if you want one.
Design and Prototype
You tap through a clickable version of the app before we write code.
Build in Short Rounds
You get TestFlight builds along the way, so you can try the app on your own iPhone.
App Store Launch
We submit the app and deal with Apple's review for you.
Updates
Apple ships a new iOS every fall. We keep your app working with each one.
Native iOS Apps Built with Swift & SwiftUI
Native Swift apps are the fastest and smoothest apps you can put on an iPhone. They use the same buttons, menus and gestures people already know from Apple's own apps. That makes them easy to learn.
They also get new Apple features first. When Apple adds something new, a native app can use it right away.
iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch & More
Most apps start on iPhone. But the same Swift code can often run on iPad with a layout made for the bigger screen. We can also add an Apple Watch app for quick actions, like checking a booking or logging a workout. We'll tell you if these extras are worth it for your users or if they can wait.
Getting Through App Store Review
Every iPhone app has to pass Apple's review before it goes live. Apple checks for crashes, privacy issues, broken links and things like payment methods that skip Apple's rules. Apps get rejected for small reasons all the time.
We know the rules and plan for them from the start. We fill in the privacy labels, set up in-app purchases the way Apple requires and test the build before we submit it. If Apple sends feedback, we fix it and resubmit.
When Native iOS Is the Right Call
Pick native iOS when:
- Most of your customers use iPhones.
- The app needs Face ID, Apple Pay, HealthKit or the camera to work smoothly.
- Speed and polish matter more than launching on both stores at once.
If you need Android on day one too, a cross-platform app may cost less. Compare cross-platform app development
iOS App Development FAQs
How much does it cost to develop an iOS app?
Most iOS business apps cost $20,000 to $50,000. A lean first version can start at $15,000 to $30,000. Apps with health or payment data start around $40,000. Your quote depends on your features and backend.
How long does App Store approval take?
Apple reviews most apps within a few days. A rejection adds time while the issue is fixed and the app is sent back. Planning for Apple's rules from the start keeps delays short.
Do I need an Apple developer account?
Yes. Apple charges a yearly fee for a developer account. We help you set it up in your name, so the app and the account belong to you.
Should I build for iPhone first?
If most of your customers use iPhones, yes. Launching on one platform first costs less and lets you learn from real users. You can add Android later.
