Creating iOS apps begins with clarity about the audience, the app's purpose, and the problem to be addressed in the initial release. A solid discovery phase helps define the MVP boundaries, select an appropriate architecture, and skip features that seem impressive on paper but don’t enhance actual usage.

After the foundation is in place, attention turns to UI behavior, performance, and reliability across iPhone variants and iOS updates. Uniform navigation flows, meticulous state handling, and thoughtfully planned integrations (payments, authentication, analytics, backend APIs) simplify upkeep and enable scaling after release on the App Store.
