Frequently Asked Questions
Book a free 30 minute call with an iOS developer. If your idea fits your budget, we run a paid discovery phase of one to two weeks for A$1,000, credited against the build. You then get a fixed price proposal based on real scoping.
iOS app development in Melbourne costs A$30,000 to A$250,000. A simple app runs A$30,000 to A$60,000. A standard business app with accounts, a backend and payments runs A$70,000 to A$150,000. Complex or regulated apps exceed A$150,000. Melbourne developers charge A$120 to A$180 per hour.
Most iPhone apps take 4 to 12 weeks from kickoff to publication on the App Store. Simple apps take 4 to 8 weeks. Complex or enterprise apps take 3 to 6 months. Apple reviews most submissions within 24 to 48 hours, but budget a week for the first one.
Build native Swift when your app needs HealthKit, ARKit, background location, CallKit or on-device machine learning. Choose Flutter or React Native when you need iOS and Android together, and the app mainly handles screens, forms and API calls. One codebase saves 30 to 40%.
Yes, but it will only scale up or letterbox. A genuine iPad app costs 40 to 60 per cent of the original iPhone build. That covers adaptive layouts, Stage Manager, Apple Pencil and keyboard shortcuts. Clinical, field inspection and point-of-sale apps justify it. Most consumer apps do not.
We fix it and respond to App Review for you. Most rejections resolve in one round. Four causes dominate: undisclosed data sharing (Guideline 5.1.2), website wrappers (4.2), external payment links for digital goods (3.1.1), and missing reviewer demo credentials. We screen for all four before submitting.
They build good prototypes, not production apps. AI-generated code produces roughly 1.7 times more issues and up to 2.74 times more security vulnerabilities. Apple blocked Replit and Vibecode updates in March 2026 under Guideline 2.5.2. Prototype with AI, then have developers audit and rebuild it.
Yes. We send a mutual NDA within one business day, governed by Victorian law, or we sign yours. Australia's statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy commenced on 10 June 2025, so we treat anything you share during scoping as confidential from the first conversation.
Budget 15 to 20 per cent of your build cost per year. A A$100,000 app costs A$15,000 to A$20,000 annually. That covers crash fixes, SDK updates, hosting and the annual iOS migration. Since 28 April 2026, Apple requires the iOS 26 SDK for every update.
You own both. At handover, you receive the full Git repository, commit history, design files and backend credentials. We publish your app under your own Apple Developer account, not ours, so you can move to another developer without needing our permission.
