NATIVE iOS FOR EXISTING PRODUCT TEAMS
iOS App Development
I build the iPhone or iPad experience for an existing software product. We start with one mobile workflow, connect your backend, and prepare the app for TestFlight and App Store release.

WHAT IS INCLUDED
From integration
through release.
Interface design
Practical mobile design shaped around the users, platform conventions, accessibility, and content.
Native or cross-platform build
Swift and UIKit for Apple-specific depth, or React Native when shared mobile development makes sense.
Application systems
Authentication, APIs, local data, background work, notifications, deep links, media, and extensions.
Payments and AI features
Subscriptions, purchases, local models, or cloud AI added where the product requires them.
Testing and release
Device testing, TestFlight, signing, privacy details, App Store submission, and production handoff.
HOW THE ENGAGEMENT WORKS
A mobile product with a release path.
Start with the smallest mobile workflow that proves the product. The engagement keeps product decisions, native implementation, device testing, and App Store release connected from the first week.
Clarify the first release
Turn the existing product and mobile workflow into a focused release brief with user flows, platform constraints, and a testable definition of done.
Build the riskiest interaction
Prototype the experience that could make or break adoption—local data, media, subscriptions, sharing, AI, or a platform-specific interaction—before polishing the rest.
Ship and learn
Move through real-device testing, TestFlight, privacy details, App Review, and a short post-release loop so the next decision is based on usage rather than assumptions.
STARTING POINTUseful first input: a product brief, an existing app, a Figma flow, or a description of the first user job.

Choose based on the workflows the iPhone app must support and the Apple frameworks it needs.

A working screen still needs failure handling, subscriptions, privacy declarations, device testing, and a repeatable release process.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Scope and delivery.
Can you bring our existing product to iPhone?+
Yes. We start with the workflow your customers need on mobile, connect your existing backend, and scope the native interface, subscriptions, device testing, and release work.
Do you build in React Native?+
Yes. I use React Native when a shared iOS and Android codebase fits the product and team. Swift or UIKit is better when the app needs deeper Apple integration or tighter platform control.
Can you work with our existing backend?+
Yes. I can connect to an existing API, work with your backend team, or build the services required for the app.
Do you handle App Store submission?+
Yes. The release scope can include signing, TestFlight, metadata coordination, privacy details, submission, and responses to App Review.
