Frequently Asked Questions

iOS app development costs vary based on complexity:

• Simple MVP: $2,500 - $7,500
• Medium Complexity: $7,500 - $20,000
• Complex/Enterprise: $20,000 - $60,000+

Factors affecting cost include features, design complexity, backend requirements, and third-party integrations. Read my detailed cost guide.

I typically work with milestone-based payments:

• 30% upfront to begin work
• 40% at mid-project milestone
• 30% upon project completion

For ongoing projects, I also offer hourly or weekly billing. Payment methods include bank transfer, PayPal, and Payoneer.

I offer both options depending on your project needs:

• Fixed Price: Best for well-defined projects with clear requirements
• Hourly: Ideal for ongoing work, maintenance, or projects with evolving scope

We'll discuss which model works best during our initial consultation.

Development timelines depend on app complexity:

• Simple MVP: 4-8 weeks
• Medium Complexity: 3-6 months
• Complex Enterprise: 6-12+ months

This includes design, development, testing, and deployment. I provide detailed timelines in the project proposal.

My development process includes:

• Discovery: Understanding requirements and goals
• Design: Wireframes, prototypes, and UI/UX design
• Development: Agile sprints with regular demos
• Testing: Continuous QA and bug fixes
• Launch: App Store submission and support
• Maintenance: Ongoing updates and improvements

Absolutely! I handle the entire App Store submission process, including:

• Creating app listing and metadata
• Designing screenshots and preview videos
• Ensuring compliance with Apple guidelines
• Responding to App Review feedback
• App Store Optimization (ASO) recommendations

Yes! About 70% of my clients are international, primarily from the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and Europe. I use tools like Slack, Zoom, and Jira to ensure smooth communication across time zones. I'm flexible with meeting times to accommodate different regions.

I'm flexible with communication tools and typically use:

• Daily/Weekly Updates: Slack, WhatsApp, or Email
• Video Calls: Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams
• Project Management: Jira, Trello, or your preferred tool
• Code: GitHub or GitLab with regular commits

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. Just send over your NDA and I'll review and sign it.

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.

My primary tech stack includes:

• iOS: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Objective-C
• Cross-Platform: Flutter, Dart
• Backend: Firebase, AWS, Node.js
• Database: Core Data, CloudKit, PostgreSQL
• Tools: Xcode, Git, Figma, Jira

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.

Yes, I offer ongoing maintenance and support packages including:

• Bug fixes and issue resolution
• iOS version compatibility updates
• Performance optimization
• Feature enhancements
• Security updates

Maintenance typically costs 15-20% of initial development cost annually.

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.
