Question 1

How much does it cost to build an iOS app?

Accepted Answer

iOS app development costs vary based on complexity. Simple apps (MVP) typically cost $2,500-$7,500, medium complexity apps range from $7,500-$20,000, and complex enterprise apps can cost $20,000-$60,000+. Factors affecting cost include features, design complexity, backend requirements, and third-party integrations.

Question 2

What are your payment terms?

Accepted Answer

I typically work with milestone-based payments: 30% upfront to begin work, 40% at mid-project milestone, and 30% upon project completion. For ongoing projects, I also offer hourly or weekly billing. Payment methods include bank transfer, PayPal, and Payoneer.

Question 3

Do you offer fixed-price or hourly contracts?

Accepted Answer

I offer both options depending on your project needs. Fixed price is best for well-defined projects with clear requirements, while hourly is ideal for ongoing work, maintenance, or projects with evolving scope. We'll discuss which model works best during our initial consultation.

Question 4

How long does it take to develop a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

Development timelines depend on app complexity. A simple MVP takes 4-8 weeks, medium complexity apps take 3-6 months, and complex enterprise apps may take 6-12+ months. This includes design, development, testing, and deployment phases.

Question 5

What is your development process?

Accepted Answer

My process includes: 1) Discovery and requirements gathering, 2) UI/UX design and prototyping, 3) Agile development with regular sprints, 4) Continuous testing and QA, 5) App Store submission and launch support, 6) Post-launch maintenance and updates.

Question 6

Can you help publish my app to the App Store?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I handle the entire App Store submission process, including creating the app listing, screenshots, descriptions, and ensuring compliance with Apple's guidelines. I also provide App Store Optimization (ASO) recommendations.

Question 7

Do you work with clients outside India?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I work with clients worldwide. About 70% of my clients are from the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and Europe. I use tools like Slack, Zoom, and project management software to ensure smooth communication across time zones.

Question 8

How do we communicate during the project?

Accepted Answer

I'm flexible with communication tools. For daily/weekly updates I use Slack, WhatsApp, or Email. For video calls, I use Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams. For project management, I work with Jira, Trello, or your preferred tool. Code is managed via GitHub or GitLab with regular commits.

Question 9

Do you sign NDAs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I'm happy to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements before discussing your project details. Protecting your intellectual property and business ideas is important, and I take confidentiality seriously.

Question 10

Can you work with my existing team?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I frequently collaborate with in-house teams and other developers. I can integrate with your existing workflows, participate in standups, and follow your coding standards. Whether you need me to lead iOS development or support your team, I'm flexible.

Question 11

What technologies do you use?

Accepted Answer

My primary tech stack includes Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, and Objective-C for iOS. For cross-platform, I use Flutter and Dart. For backend, I work with Firebase, AWS, and Node.js. For databases, I use Core Data, CloudKit, and PostgreSQL. Tools include Xcode, Git, Figma, and Jira.

Question 12

Do you build websites and web apps too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Marketing sites, landing pages, dashboards and full web apps in whatever stack fits the project: React and Next.js on the front end, Node and Firebase on the back end, or plain HTML and CSS. This website is a Next.js app built the same way as client work, and AskMyDoctor is a React web app with an AI backend.

Question 13

Do you build Android apps too?

Accepted Answer

Yes! For cross-platform needs, I use Flutter to build apps for both iOS and Android from a single codebase. This saves time and cost while maintaining native performance. If you specifically need native Android development, I can also collaborate with Android specialists in my network.

Question 14

Do you provide app maintenance after launch?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I offer ongoing maintenance and support packages including bug fixes, iOS version updates, performance optimization, feature enhancements, and security updates. Maintenance typically costs 15-20% of the initial development cost annually.

Question 15

Will I own the source code?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Upon project completion and final payment, you receive full ownership of the source code and all project assets. I'll transfer the GitHub repository, design files, and all documentation to you. You're free to modify, distribute, and use the code as you wish.
