Development of mobile applications for iOS

Studies show that iPhone owners are often more demanding in their choice of technology and are critical of Android users. They have high expectations for software and want to see only the best applications on their device. We know how to create solutions that meet these requirements. In this article, we'll take a look at the iOS app development process to give you an idea of how we can work together.

Native development

Native development means using the official programming language for a particular platform. For iOS, this means Swift in Xcode, and for Android, it means Java or Kotlin. This approach provides the best performance because applications are optimized for a specific platform. But there are limitations: native apps cannot run on another operating system without a separate rewrite of the code.

Advantages of native development:

Higher productivity and speed of work

Access to unique features of the platform

Optimized graphics and integration with the platform

Disadvantages of native development:

Higher costs of creating separate applications for different platforms

Longer development time

It is more difficult to scale the project to other operating systems

How do we create cross-platform applications?

  • Getting to know the project

    We carefully study your needs and business specifics through interviews or meetings. The more detailed we analyze your project, the more efficiently we can customize the solution.

  • Design creation

    Our designer develops interface mockups that demonstrate how users will interact with the application.

  • Programming

    A programmer turns a design into a working application using cross-platform tools for both platforms.

  • Testing and launching

    We run various tests to make sure everything works perfectly and fill the app with the necessary content before release.

Native vs. Cross-platform: Pros and cons

Native applications:

Exclusivity:

Provide the highest level of integration with the platform's functionality, but are limited to only one system.

Performance:

Optimized for fast performance on the native platform.

Longer development time:

Two platforms require separate teams and more time.

Cross-platform applications:

Faster development process:

One code for multiple platforms allows you to launch projects faster.

Reduced costs:

You get one app for iOS and Android for less.

Less functionality:

Not all platform features are available for cross-platform applications.

Popular cross-platform frameworks:

  • Xamarin

    Allows you to use up to 90% of the code without changes for different operating systems. Suitable for businesses seeking to maintain high performance.

  • React Native

    The platform created by Facebook provides access to the platform interface and easy customization.

  • Kotlin Multiplatform

    Allows you to use one source code to create applications for multiple operating systems with separate writing of unique elements

  • Flutter

    A framework developed by Google that allows creating applications for both platforms with minimal differences from native solutions.
