iOS apps we build regularly
Health & Clinical Apps
HealthKit integration, clinical data workflows, HIPAA-compliant data handling, Apple Watch sensor collection, ResearchKit study management. Swift's type safety is non-negotiable in healthcare — and we've shipped apps that passed HealthKit entitlement review on first submission.
FinTech & Banking Apps
Biometric authentication (Face ID, Touch ID), Secure Enclave integration, PCI-DSS compliant data flows, real-time transaction feeds, Apple Pay, Passkeys. Security-first from the architecture stage.
Fitness & Wearable Apps
Native Apple Watch apps, workout tracking, motion and sensor APIs, background health data collection. iPhone and Watch built simultaneously with shared SPM libraries.
Property & Real Estate
MapKit integrations, AR property visualisation via ARKit, 3D floor plan rendering, location-aware search. Swift's ARKit bindings are ahead of any cross-platform alternative.
Enterprise & B2B Apps
MDM-compatible deployment, SSO via SAML/OAuth, offline-first data sync, complex form workflows. Built for IT departments that need control and end-users that need simplicity.
Consumer Lifestyle Apps
High-polish custom UI with SwiftUI animations, social features, push notifications, in-app purchases and subscription management. Where SwiftUI's animation system genuinely shines.

Performance targets set before code starts
Native Swift or cross-platform
| Dimension | Flutter / React Native | Native Swift (EB Pearls) |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Apple API integration | Limited — framework must add support |
✓ Full access to all Apple frameworks on day one
|
| UI quality on iOS | Good, sometimes off-platform feel |
✓ Native iOS components, pixel-perfect Apple HIG
|
| App Store HealthKit entitlements | Complex — platform channel required |
✓ Native HealthKit, direct entitlement support
|
| Cost for iOS-only app | Higher (cross-platform overhead) |
✓ Right choice for iOS-only requirements
|
| Cost for iOS + Android | Higher than Flutter for both |
✗ Flutter is 30–40% cheaper for both platforms
|
| Performance ceiling | Very good (Flutter); good (RN) |
✓ Maximum — no abstraction layer
|

How to work with us
Fixed-Price Project
Defined scope, price, timeline. Best for well-scoped iOS apps where every screen, integration, and data model is mapped before development starts.Sprint-Based Retainer
Your dedicated iOS team, working on your roadmap continuously. Best for apps with ongoing feature development post-launch.iOS Maintenance
Ongoing iOS version updates, dependency patches, crash resolution. Annual iOS releases break things — we keep your app current.Every question answered.
Simple MVP: AUD $45,000–$90,000. Mid-complexity: $90,000–$180,000. Complex enterprise or consumer: from $180,000. Fixed-scope quotes after free discovery.
Apple's declarative UI framework. We default to SwiftUI for iOS 16+ for faster development, better animations, and live previews. UIKit for legacy code and edge cases.
