What iOS app development with SolutionThinker includes
iOS app development is the process of planning, designing, building and publishing an app for iPhone and iPad on Apple’s App Store. SolutionThinker builds native iOS apps for businesses and online retailers, from the first idea and UX design to App Store approval and ongoing updates. We have built web, ecommerce and mobile software since 2005 for clients in Germany and the USA.
Choose native iOS when performance, Apple features such as Apple Pay, push notifications and Face ID, and a polished iPhone experience matter most. Need iOS and Android on a tighter budget? See our hybrid app development service.

iOS app development FAQ
How long does it take to build an iOS app?
A focused first version (MVP) usually takes 8–16 weeks. Apps with complex backends, payments or many integrations take longer. You get a timeline after the scoping call.
How much does an iOS app cost?
Cost depends on the number of screens, features, integrations and design work. Small projects start from about $1,000; complete apps are quoted at a fixed price after scoping.
Should I build native iOS or cross-platform?
Native is best for performance and Apple-specific features. A cross-platform (hybrid) app is often cheaper when you need iOS and Android from one codebase.
Can the app connect to my online store or ERP?
Yes. We connect apps to Shopware, WooCommerce and Magento stores and to ERP and CRM systems through secure APIs.
