Native Swift apps for iPhone and iPad, SwiftUI for modern interfaces, App Store submission and approval process handling, Apple Pay integration, and post-launch maintenance. Pakistani professionals and diaspora users overwhelmingly use iOS — make sure your app reaches them. Starting PKR 200,000.
iOS holds roughly 8-10% of the Pakistani smartphone market in 2026 — significantly smaller than Android's dominant share. But iOS users represent disproportionately high economic value: Pakistani iOS users skew toward professionals, business owners, expatriates living abroad, and higher-income segments who spend more on apps and in-app purchases. For many Pakistani B2B businesses, premium D2C brands, and apps targeting the Pakistani diaspora, iOS is not optional — it is where the actual paying customers live.
We build iOS apps using Swift (Apple's modern programming language) and SwiftUI (the modern UI framework for iOS 13+). When projects justify cross-platform development, we use React Native or Flutter — both produce reasonable iOS apps, though native Swift remains the gold standard for polish and performance. Our iOS work includes both native apps for clients who can justify iOS-only investment, and cross-platform builds where Android + iOS is the cost-effective choice.
iOS development comes with specific challenges that Android development does not: Apple's stricter App Store review process (rejections happen, we handle them), the $99/year Apple Developer Program fee, iOS-specific design conventions (back gestures, share sheets, modal sheets) that Pakistani users have come to expect, and Apple Pay integration where relevant.
Most Pakistani business apps should target both Android and iOS via cross-platform development. But there are specific cases where iOS-first or iOS-only is the right strategic choice:
Apple's modern declarative UI framework. Faster development, less code, modern feel. Requires iOS 14+ for full feature set. Recommended for any new iOS project where the target audience has reasonably current devices.
The older iOS UI framework. Necessary for very complex animations, deep customisation beyond what SwiftUI offers, or maintenance of existing codebases. Most new development uses SwiftUI with selective UIKit integration for specific features.
Cross-platform options if you also need Android. Quality difference vs native Swift is small for most apps but noticeable in performance-critical or visually-polish-critical apps.

Native iOS apps start at PKR 380,000 for a focused business app and run up to PKR 1,000,000+ for enterprise platforms. Cross-platform apps that include iOS start at PKR 200,000 (covering both Android and iOS). iOS-only apps are unusual for Pakistani projects — most projects also need Android.
Yes. Apple charges $99 USD per year (PKR ~28,000) for individual or company developer programs. The account must be registered in your business name so you retain ownership. We help with the setup and verification process.
Apple's review process typically takes 1-3 days. Rejections are common on first submission for various policy reasons — we handle the back-and-forth, make required adjustments, and resubmit. Most apps are approved within 1-2 review cycles.
For physical goods and services: yes, via web checkout or in-app integrations. For digital goods sold inside the app: Apple requires their In-App Purchase system (30% Apple fee). We help structure your offering to minimise commission costs — for example, by making in-app purchases optional and routing serious commerce through your website.
