iPhone Apps Built for theApp Store's Highest BarSwift & SwiftUI. In-House UK Engineers. Approved First Time.
App Review rejects for reasons that are entirely predictable — missing privacy declarations, unjustified permissions, incomplete account deletion. We build against those rules from the first sprint, so submission is a formality rather than a fortnight of resubmissions.

Why UK Businesses Choose Mtoag for iPhone App Development
Three things that separate us from every other agency in the UK.
Fixed-Price. No Surprises.
Before writing a line of code, we produce a Technical Specification — a fixed-price, fixed-scope document listing every feature, integration, and delivery milestone. You sign it. We build it. The price you sign is the price you pay.
150+ In-House Engineers. No Subcontractors.
100% of Mtoag's engineering work is done by direct employees — never freelancers, never agencies, never offshore subcontractors. Your senior developer has worked at Mtoag for an average of 4+ years.
Full IP Ownership from Day One.
Your source code, design files, and all intellectual property transfer to you on final payment. We sign an NDA before any technical discussion. No vendor lock-in.
The Tech Stack That Powers Our Solutions
Sixteen years of production experience across mobile, web, enterprise, open-source, and search — every technology below is one we ship for UK clients, not just list on a page.
From native performance to cross-platform speed, we build mobile experiences that feel first-class on every device.
Modern, fast, accessible websites and web apps built on frameworks that scale with your business, not against it.
Enterprise-grade architecture built for security, compliance, and systems that need to talk to each other reliably.
Proven open-source platforms customised and hardened for real commercial traffic — not a stock install.
Technical SEO built into the codebase from day one — because rankings are an engineering outcome, not a marketing add-on.
All versions current as of July 2026. We track and adopt major releases within 90 days.
iPhone App Development Case Studies
All projects live in production since launch.
Our iPhone App Development Process
The same six-step process on every project. No improvising. No scope creep. No surprises.
Discovery and Technical Scoping
A structured 45-minute discovery call followed by a written Technical Specification defining every screen, integration, offline behaviour, and store requirement. You review and sign it before we charge a penny.
UX Flows and Interactive Prototype
Wireframes and a tappable prototype covering the core journeys, tested on real devices so navigation decisions are settled before a single screen is coded.
Agile Development and Build
Two-week sprints with TestFlight and Play Console internal builds you can install from day one. Weekly video demos and Slack access to your project manager. Every merge reviewed by a senior engineer.
Device Lab and QA Testing
Automated unit and UI tests plus manual regression on a physical device matrix — current and two prior OS versions, small and large screens, slow networks, and low battery states.
Store Submission and Launch
We prepare store listings, screenshots, privacy declarations, and age ratings, then handle the App Store and Play Store review process end to end — including any rejection responses.
Support and OS Upgrades
Post-launch SLA options from 8-hour response to 24/7 monitoring, plus annual iOS and Android release compatibility work so your app never breaks on an OS update.
All timelines are fixed in the Technical Specification.

iPhone App Development Questions Answered
10 direct answers. No sales language.
A native iPhone app typically runs £15,000–£60,000 depending on scope. A focused single-purpose app starts around £10,000; apps with subscriptions, a custom backend, and Watch or widget extensions sit at the upper end. Mtoag quotes a fixed price from a written Technical Specification.
Six to twelve weeks from signed specification to App Store submission is typical. Simple apps ship in six; apps with payments, real-time features, or an Apple Watch companion take ten to sixteen. The timeline is fixed in the specification before development begins.
For iPhone-only products we build native in Swift and SwiftUI — it gives the smoothest interaction, the best access to new iOS features, and the fewest App Review surprises. Where an Android build is also needed and the logic is largely shared, we will recommend React Native instead and say so during scoping.
We handle it, at no extra cost. Rejection responses and resubmissions are included in every Mtoag iOS project. In practice most of our submissions are approved first pass because guideline compliance — privacy labels, permission justifications, account deletion — is built in from the first sprint rather than bolted on at the end.
Yes, and you should own it rather than us. Apps are published under your organisation's Apple Developer account (£79/year) so the listing, reviews, and analytics stay yours permanently. We will walk you through enrolment and handle the technical setup.
Yes, and it is much cheaper if the main app was architected for it. Mtoag builds shared models and networking into a Swift package from the start, so a Watch app, widget, or App Clip added later reuses that layer instead of duplicating it.
Yes. We implement StoreKit 2 with server-side receipt validation and App Store Server Notifications, so entitlements stay accurate through renewals, refunds, and billing retries — the area where most subscription apps quietly leak revenue.
We support the current iOS release and two prior versions as standard, which covers over 95% of active UK iPhones. Supporting older versions is possible and gets scoped explicitly, since it constrains which iOS features are available.
Yes, 100%. Source code, design files, and all intellectual property transfer to you on final payment, written into every Mtoag contract as standard. No IP buyout fee.
Yes. We begin with a paid technical audit covering the codebase, dependencies, and developer account state, then give you an honest recommendation on whether to continue or rebuild — including a fixed price for either path.
