iOS app foundations & setup

0.8–2 weeks typical Fixed quote after scoping

The project scaffold every other piece of the iOS build stands on — architecture, design system and environments.

What we build

The unglamorous first week that decides how the rest of the build goes: the Xcode project and its CI, the reusable components the screens are assembled from, and separate dev, staging and production configuration so nothing is ever tested against live data by accident. Every other iOS component depends on this one. Skip this only if you already have a maintained Xcode project with CI and separate environments.

What you get

  • A running Xcode project in your repository with the agreed module structure
  • A component library implementing the design system's colours, type and controls
  • A CI pipeline building the app and running the test suite on every push
  • Separate dev, staging and production builds, each pointing at its own backend, with secrets injected at build time

How the work unfolds

  1. Scaffold the Xcode project and CI
  2. Build the design system components
  3. Configure environments and secret injection

How an engagement starts

This work builds on Native iOS application design, so scope, boundaries and constraints are agreed before anything is built.
