Hiring an iOS Agency: FAQs

Common questions clients ask before hiring a mobile development partner.

Should I build Native (Swift) or Cross-Platform (Flutter/React Native)?

Go **Native (Swift)** if you need high performance, complex animations, AR features, or maximum security. Choose **Cross-Platform** if you need to launch on both iOS and Android simultaneously with a limited budget and the app is relatively simple (content-based).

How long does it take to build an iPhone app?

A simple MVP usually takes **2-3 months**. A fully featured consumer app typically takes **4-6 months**, while complex enterprise solutions can take **9+ months**. The timeline depends heavily on the complexity of features and backend integration.

Who owns the code after the project is finished?

In almost all reputable agency contracts, **you (the client) own the code** and intellectual property once the final invoice is paid. Always verify this clause in your Master Services Agreement (MSA) before starting.

Will the agency help me upload to the App Store?

Yes. Verified agencies on Rankspire handle the entire submission process, including creating certificates, provisioning profiles, privacy policy compliance, and responding to Apple's review team rejections if they occur.
