Discovery & product design
User flows, feature boundaries, architecture decisions, and a written build sequence with a realistic budget range.
Native iOS · Bucharest, Romania
iOS apps built to ship, not just to demo.
Senior iOS app development for founders and product teams that need a clear plan, working builds early, and a reliable path to the App Store.
One senior team from product definition to release.
We keep the mobile delivery connected: scope the product, design the important flows, build the native app, integrate the backend, and prepare the App Store submission.
Swift & SwiftUI engineering
Native iOS implementation with modern Swift, production backend and API integration, analytics, and device testing.
TestFlight & App Store
Working builds from the third week, Friday demos, App Store metadata and screenshots, review support, and launch readiness.
A practical delivery rhythm.
A mid-complexity product typically takes 11–19 weeks. Scope and backend complexity determine the exact plan; the cadence stays visible every week.
Scope
Weeks 1–2: product flows, architecture, budget range, and delivery plan.
Design
Weeks 2–5: Figma flows, reusable components, and the key interaction model.
Build
Weeks 4–12: Swift/SwiftUI, backend integration, QA, and regular TestFlight builds.
Launch
Week 12+: App Store preparation, review, analytics, and production support.
Good fit
For teams that want ownership and visibility.
Every project has direct access to the people doing the work. We use two-week sprints and demos every Friday so decisions happen while they are still cheap.
- New iPhone or iPad product from idea to first release
- Existing app that needs a senior iOS delivery team
- Backend, payments, analytics, or App Store work that should not be split across vendors
- EU or US product teams looking for an experienced Romania-based partner

FeedingUp went from idea to App Store in 14 weeks. The guide below explains the cost, timeline, and hiring questions behind a serious iOS engagement.
Questions founders usually ask.
How much does iOS app development in Romania cost?
A simple utility app may start around €15k–€35k. Mid-complexity products commonly fall around €40k–€80k; custom backend and complex products can reach €80k–€200k+.
When will we see a working build?
For a typical engagement, the first production TestFlight build is available from around week three, followed by demos every Friday.
Can you handle the backend and App Store release too?
Yes. We can cover the native app, API and backend architecture, analytics, App Store preparation, and launch support as one team.
