iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch applications for Australian businesses. Customer-facing apps, enterprise tools, field service, health integrations, and point-of-sale.
Cross-platform with React Native or Flutter when Android is also needed. Native Swift for deep Apple ecosystem integration.
Around 45% of Australian smartphone users are on iOS, and they tend to be higher-spending consumers. For businesses targeting premium customer segments or deploying to corporate device fleets, iOS is the primary platform.
We build iOS apps using the right approach for the project. Cross-platform with React Native or Flutter when Android is also needed. One codebase, both platforms, 30–40% cost reduction. Native Swift when the project requires deep Apple ecosystem integration.
The quality standard on iOS is high. Apple's review process enforces it. Users expect smooth animations, intuitive navigation, and proper use of platform conventions. We build apps that meet that standard and represent your business well.
Three stages. No surprises. Delivered personally by the founder.
Week 0
15-minute scoping call. We map your current setup, the requirements you need to ship, and the constraints (timeline, integrations, hosting). Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.
Weeks 1–N
Application built incrementally with weekly check-ins. Every feature, integration and validation tested before sign-off. Sandbox / staging environment for safe iteration.
Cutover
Production deployment on a planned window. Team training, monitoring active, 30 days post-launch support. Documentation and source code handed over in full.
Customer apps, enterprise tools, iPad applications, field service, and Apple ecosystem integrations. These are the iOS projects we deliver most.
Apps your customers download from the App Store: booking systems, account management, loyalty programs, e-commerce, and service tracking. The quality bar on iOS is high, and Apple's review process enforces it.
iOS users tend to spend more. They expect polished interfaces, smooth animations, and thoughtful interactions. A business app on iOS needs to match the quality of the platform's best apps, not just work.
Enterprise apps distributed via Apple Business Manager or MDM, not the public App Store. Fleet management tools, internal communication, compliance, training, and operational dashboards deployed to company-owned iPhones and iPads.
Apple Business Manager for managed distribution. Microsoft Intune, Jamf, or VMware Workspace ONE for device management. Apps installed silently, configured remotely, and updated without user intervention.
iPad apps for point-of-sale, digital catalogues, client presentations, medical intake, check-in kiosks, and field operations. iPads are the default tablet in professional environments, particularly retail, healthcare, hospitality, and real estate.
iPad-specific layouts with split views, drag-and-drop, Apple Pencil support, and multitasking. Not a scaled-up iPhone app. A proper iPad experience that takes advantage of the larger screen and unique capabilities.
Mobile apps for field teams using iPhones: site inspections, audits, service reports, delivery verification, and time tracking. GPS location, camera for photo attachments, and digital signatures for on-site approvals.
Offline capability using Core Data or Realm for local storage. Background sync when connectivity returns. For teams working in areas with patchy coverage, the app needs to work without a network connection.
Apps that integrate with HealthKit, Apple Watch, and the broader Apple health ecosystem. Fitness tracking, patient monitoring, wellness programs, and clinical data collection using Apple's health infrastructure.
HealthKit for reading and writing health data: steps, heart rate, sleep, medications, and clinical records. Apple Watch companion apps for wrist-based interactions and real-time health monitoring.
iOS users expect apps to be well-designed, responsive, and polished. Apple's App Store review process enforces baseline quality. For consumer-facing businesses, an iOS app is often the primary brand touchpoint on mobile.
Apple's Human Interface Guidelines provide clear design standards. Animations should be smooth. Touch targets should be properly sized. Navigation should follow platform conventions. Users notice when an app does not feel native.
This higher bar works in your favour. A well-built iOS app communicates professionalism and attention to detail. For service businesses, a premium app experience reinforces the quality of the service itself.
iOS devices are encrypted by default. App sandboxing prevents apps from accessing each other's data. Face ID and Touch ID provide biometric authentication. These security fundamentals are why enterprises choose iOS for sensitive applications.
Apple Business Manager and MDM provide device-level management: remote wipe, app distribution, VPN configuration, and compliance enforcement. For regulated industries, iOS provides the security infrastructure that auditors want to see.
On top of platform security, we implement app-level measures: certificate pinning, secure storage in Keychain, biometric-gated access to sensitive screens, and encrypted local databases for offline data.
An iOS app can extend to Apple Watch for wrist-based notifications and quick interactions. iPad for larger-screen workflows. Mac via Catalyst or native macOS development. The Apple ecosystem lets one application span multiple device types.
Handoff lets users start a task on iPhone and continue on iPad or Mac. Universal links connect your website to your app. Widgets provide at-a-glance information on the home screen. These integrations make the app feel like part of the device.
For businesses with staff or customers using multiple Apple devices, these ecosystem features add genuine value that is not available on other platforms.
For most business apps, we build cross-platform using React Native or Flutter. One codebase, both platforms. Development costs drop 30–40% compared to building two native apps. Feature parity between iOS and Android is automatic.
React Native uses JavaScript, the same language as your web frontend. Flutter uses Dart with high-performance rendering. Both produce native iOS interfaces that pass Apple's review process and feel right to users.
We use native Swift only when the project requires deep Apple ecosystem integration: HealthKit, complex Apple Watch apps, or ARKit experiences. For standard business applications, cross-platform delivers the same result at lower cost.
Maintenance, iOS updates, performance fixes, App Store compliance, UIKit migration, or a full app takeover.
New iOS versions, deprecated APIs, App Store policy changes, and dependency updates. We keep your app running on current devices and passing Apple's review process.
Older iOS apps built with UIKit migrated to SwiftUI for modern declarative UI, better state management, and easier maintenance. Incremental migration, no big-bang rewrite needed.
Previous developer gone? App crashing, failing review, or running on deprecated APIs? We audit, stabilise, and take over your iOS application. Bug fixes, refactoring, and ongoing development.
Slow launch, dropped frames, memory issues, or battery complaints. We profile with Instruments, identify bottlenecks, and fix performance issues on real devices.
Privacy nutrition labels, App Tracking Transparency, required reason APIs, and review guideline compliance. We handle the policy changes so your app stays approved and published.
iOS-only app that now needs Android? We build the Android version, either as a cross-platform rebuild (React Native/Flutter) or as a separate native Android app sharing the same backend API.
If one of these sounds like your project, we have built it before.
Consumer-facing iOS app on the App Store. Bookings, orders, account management, Apple Pay, loyalty rewards, and push notifications. The mobile interface for your business.
Internal tools distributed via Apple Business Manager. Fleet management, compliance, communications, and operations dashboards on company-owned iPhones and iPads.
iPad apps for retail counters, reception desks, event check-in, and medical intake. Payment integration, barcode scanning, and Guided Access for kiosk mode.
Inspections, audits, and service reports for mobile workers. Offline data capture, photo attachments, GPS tagging, digital signatures. Syncs when connectivity returns.
HealthKit integration, Apple Watch companion, workout tracking, patient monitoring, or wellness programs. Compliance with Apple's health data guidelines and relevant privacy regulations.
Native iOS shopping experience with product browsing, cart, Apple Pay checkout, order tracking, and wishlists. Integrated with your existing e-commerce platform via API.
Cross-platform, native Swift, or PWA. The approach depends on your requirements, budget, and Apple ecosystem integration needs.
iOS apps need a backend. These are the combinations we deliver most.
Our most common cross-platform approach. JavaScript codebase shared with your React web frontend. Native iOS UI component rendering with hot module replacement for fast development.
High-performance cross-platform with Dart. Excellent for complex UI, custom widgets, and apps that need pixel-perfect control across iOS and Android.
Laravel backend serving a REST API. iOS app consumes the API for authentication, data sync, and business logic. One backend, multiple frontends.
ASP.NET Core backend with iOS frontend. Enterprise environments with Azure hosting, Active Directory integration, and SQL Server databases.
Firebase for push notifications (APNs via FCM), analytics, crashlytics, and remote config. Reduces backend development for apps that fit Firebase's model.
Enterprise distribution without the public App Store. Volume purchasing, managed app configuration, and custom B2B apps deployed via MDM to company devices.
We had an ageing Objective-C iPad app for our sales team. HELLO PEOPLE rebuilt it in React Native, so we got iPhone and iPad support, plus an Android version, all from one codebase. The new app is faster, easier to maintain, and our team loves it.
Both. For most business applications, we recommend cross-platform (React Native or Flutter) because it delivers iOS and Android from one codebase at 30–40% lower cost. We use native Swift/SwiftUI when the app requires deep Apple ecosystem integration: HealthKit, complex Apple Watch functions, ARKit, or platform-specific features that cross-platform frameworks cannot handle.
We provide a fixed-price quote after scoping. A cross-platform business app (iOS + Android) sits in the middle of the project-size range. A native iOS-only app is smaller. Apps with Apple Watch companions, HealthKit integration or complex offline requirements are larger.
Yes. We handle the entire App Store Connect process: app signing, screenshots, App Store listing, privacy nutrition labels, App Tracking Transparency implementation, and review submission. We can publish under your developer account or help you create one.
Yes. An Apple Developer Program membership ($149 AUD/year) is required to publish on the App Store. For enterprise distribution via Apple Business Manager, you also need an Apple Business Manager account. We can help set these up.
Yes. We build iPad-specific apps with proper layouts: split views, drag-and-drop, Apple Pencil support if needed. Not stretched iPhone interfaces. For kiosk deployments, we configure Guided Access and integrate with iPad MDM.
Apple Watch apps are either companion apps (extending your iPhone app to the wrist) or standalone watchOS apps. We build both. Common use cases include notifications, quick actions, health data display, and hands-free interactions for field workers.
Yes. We take over iOS projects from other developers regularly. We audit the code, assess the state of the project, fix critical issues, and continue development. If the app needs a significant rewrite, we will tell you honestly.
A basic business app takes 8–12 weeks. More complex apps with offline support, Apple Watch companion, or enterprise MDM deployment take 12–20 weeks. We work in sprints with regular demos so you see progress throughout development.
