Native iOS apps, Swift end-to-end, shipped to the App Store on a cadence.

iOS apps that feel native because they are native. Swift and SwiftUI from screen to network layer, typed end-to-end against the same backend the web client uses, tested on real devices, shipped to TestFlight by the end of week one and to the App Store on whatever cadence the product needs.

What we build

  • SwiftUI as the default, UIKit where it earns it

    Most screens are SwiftUI: declarative, composable, fast to iterate. The places UIKit still wins (complex collection views, camera capture, custom transitions) we drop down to UIKit and bridge. No religious rule that prevents the right tool from showing up where it matters.

  • Typed networking against the same backend

    URLSession with typed request/response Codables generated from the same OpenAPI spec the web client uses. The iOS app and the web app see the same shapes; a backend rename is a compile error on both surfaces.

  • Real-device testing, not just the simulator

    TestFlight builds from CI on every merge to main. Internal testers get the build before the customer-facing release goes out, on actual iPhones, with real cellular networks. Bugs that only repro on iPhone SE with iOS 17.4 get caught before App Review sees them.

  • Push notifications, deep links, and background work

    APNs configured with proper entitlements, deep links routed through Universal Links (not URL schemes), background tasks scheduled with BGTaskScheduler. The plumbing that's annoying to get right gets gotten right once.

  • App Store submission as a routine

    Fastlane scripts for screenshots, metadata, and submission. Phased release for every version. App Review-aware design choices baked in so we're not redoing IDFA prompts or paywall copy because of a Guideline 5.1 rejection.

  • Crash reporting and analytics from day one

    Sentry for crashes with symbolicated stack traces. PostHog for product analytics with funnels and replay. We see what's happening in production; we don't ship blind.

Where this fits

  1. You need a real iOS app, not a React Native wrapper, because the product calls for native interactions or App Store guidelines require it.

  2. You've been shipping iOS through a freelancer and the release cadence is bottlenecked on one person who keeps changing.

  3. Your iOS app is on UIKit, sluggish to iterate, and the next major version is a good moment to rewrite the screens on SwiftUI without re-platforming the backend.
