iOS app development entails creating mobile applications specifically designed to operate on Apple devices, including iPhones and iPads.
So, What is iOS App Development?
iOS app development is the process of creating mobile applications that operate on Apple devices, such as iPhones and iPads. These applications are distributed via the Apple App Store and are primarily developed using Swift or Objective-C programming languages. The focus on Apple’s ecosystem ensures optimized performance and a seamless user experience tailored to the unique features of iOS devices.
How much do iOS App Development Services cost?
The cost of developing an iOS app is significantly influenced by its complexity, including factors such as the technology stack, architecture, features, scalability, hosting, design, and user journey.
To ensure clarity regarding the budget, scope, and timeline of your project, we always conduct an initial consultation. At capxcorporation, our projects generally range from $25,000 to $500,000.
Note: It’s often advisable to create a smaller application that focuses on its core value-added functionalities while deferring additional features for later development. This approach allows you to build a high-quality and sustainable MVP, which will serve as a solid foundation for scaling, helping your app gain traction and funding for future iterations.
This is why we emphasize the importance of selecting the right technical partner—one who is experienced and transparent—capable of developing an MVP that sets you up for future success.

How long does it take to develop an iOS App?
The timeline for developing an iOS app varies based on its complexity and scope. At capxcorporation, our projects typically span from 3 weeks to 5 months.
We organize our iOS app development process as follows:
- Discovery Workshop (2 – 8 hours): We collaborate with you to fully understand and align with your vision, ensuring we create a user-centered iOS app that meets your expectations and addresses your users’ needs.
- Discovery Phase (1 – 2 weeks): This involves evaluating your product idea, business objectives, industry competition, and target users.
- Design Phase (1 – 8 weeks): We employ a user-centered design process that begins with brand discovery meetings, user research, and culminates in high-fidelity design, prototyping, and usability testing.
- Development Phase (1 – 16 weeks): We build according to specifications through parallel module-based development of the front-end and back-end. Weekly check-ins keep you informed about our progress, allowing you to provide feedback on each screen and functionality.
- QA Testing Phase (1 – 2 weeks): We conduct thorough testing to ensure your iOS app performs and functions as intended.
