Creating iOS apps begins with clarity about your audience, the app's purpose, and the primary problem to tackle in the initial release. A solid discovery phase defines the MVP scope, selects an appropriate architecture, and steers clear of capabilities that seem impressive on paper but don’t enhance actual usage.

When the base is established, attention moves to UI responsiveness, speed, and reliability across different iPhone devices and iOS releases. Uniform navigation conventions, meticulous state handling, and thoughtfully planned integrations (payments, authentication, analytics, backend APIs) simplify maintenance and scalability after launch on the App Store.
