iOS App Development Company in Dubai - Native Swift iPhone and iPad Apps for UAE Businesses

Cost depends on scope: native or cross-platform build, feature set, payment integrations, backend and admin panel requirements, and language support. Crafixx scopes every project in detail and provides a fixed-price quote before development starts.

Yes. We build native iOS apps with Swift programming at the core, and cross-platform iOS solutions using Flutter or React Native, delivering a seamless user experience on both iPhone and iPad. For most UAE businesses, Flutter delivers near-native performance at a significantly lower cost than a separate native build.

Timeline depends on scope: an MVP, a full-featured app with payments and admin panel, and an enterprise build each carry different schedules. We provide a fixed timeline at project kickoff and maintain it through milestone-based delivery. All iOS apps are built as scalable iOS applications designed for UAE market growth.

Yes. App store deployment and Apple App Store submission are fully managed on your behalf. We handle the developer accounts, app metadata, screenshots, age ratings, privacy manifests, and in-app purchase compliance. The review process is managed on your behalf.

Yes. Multi-language apps with direction-aware layouts are standard. We handle script-appropriate typography, navigation, and content management, tested on real devices in each locale. All language versions receive equal development attention.

Yes. We integrate PayTabs, Telr, Stripe, Apple Pay, and Google Pay into mobile apps for UAE businesses. All integrations are tested against sandbox and live environments before App Store submission. We also support Careem Pay and other regional payment options on request. We specialise in e-commerce mobile solutions and fintech payment integrations for UAE businesses.

Native apps (Swift) offer the best performance and deepest OS integration but require a dedicated iOS build. Cross-platform apps (Flutter, React Native) share one codebase across iOS and Android, delivering near-native performance at lower cost and faster delivery. For custom app development in the UAE, cross-platform is often the right choice for most businesses.

Yes. iOS backend integration, API development, database design, admin panel, push notification setup, and full API documentation are included in every mobile app project. We can also integrate with your existing backend systems or third-party APIs as part of the scope.

Yes. UAE PASS is the UAE government’s official digital identity platform, integrating it lets users authenticate using their verified UAE national identity, removing registration friction for UAE residents. It is particularly valuable for apps in government services, fintech, real estate, and healthcare. We handle the UAE PASS SDK integration, API registration with the ICA, and compliance documentation.

An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) app includes only the core features needed to validate your product with real users, no extras, no feature creep. Build an MVP when you need to test a concept before committing a full development budget, when you are raising investment and need a working demo, or when speed to market matters more than feature completeness. Starting with wireframe and prototyping, we define what to build before writing a line of code. You retain full source code and IP rights. Crafixx MVP builds are scoped with a fixed quote and launch on iOS via Flutter or native Swift.

Mobile apps require ongoing maintenance to stay live: iOS OS updates can break existing features; Apple App Store policy changes require updates to privacy manifests and permissions; payment SDKs (PayTabs, Telr, Stripe) release breaking changes; and user-reported bugs need fixing in production. Crafixx app maintenance and support packages cover iOS version compatibility updates, SDK upgrades, security patches, app analytics and tracking, performance monitoring, and ongoing feature additions. Without active maintenance, most apps begin failing within 12–18 months of launch.

App store optimization (ASO) is the process of improving your app’s visibility and download conversion rate within the Apple App Store. It covers: app title and subtitle keyword placement, description keyword density, screenshots and preview videos (the primary install conversion driver), ratings management, and localised store listings for UAE audiences. In the UAE, where mobile app usage is among the highest globally. ASO is the difference between organic growth and full dependence on paid advertising. Crafixx includes full ASO setup with every submission: multi-language keyword research, store listing copy, and custom screenshot design for the App Store listing.

Mission-critical mobile apps require airtight protection. Security measures include: HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data in transit; secure keychain/keystore storage for tokens and credentials (never plain-text); JWT authentication with refresh-token rotation and biometric authentication support (Face ID, fingerprint); rate-limited and authenticated API endpoints; and OWASP Mobile Top 10 checks in QA. For UAE apps collecting personal data, we build PDPL compliance (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021): data minimisation, user consent flows, data subject access, and deletion capabilities built from the start.

Yes. We build mobile apps that communicate with IoT devices and wearables via BLE, Wi-Fi, and MQTT protocols. Common UAE use cases include smart building apps, industrial monitoring for logistics, fitness apps connecting with Apple Watch and Garmin, and healthcare apps requiring real-time patient biometric data. IoT-connected apps need a cloud infrastructure layer, typically AWS IoT Core, Firebase Realtime Database, or a custom MQTT broker. IoT projects are scoped separately as they require hardware specification review before app architecture is finalised.

Agile development methodology breaks a mobile app project into two-week sprints, each delivering a tested set of working features through quality assurance testing, instead of a waterfall model where you only see the finished product at the end. Our agile process covers full-cycle product development: sprint planning, build, QA testing, client review, and retrospective, with a shared project board and weekly status calls. You see a live demo every two weeks and can redirect priorities before they become expensive decisions. Agile consistently delivers faster time-to-market and fewer costly rebuild cycles, particularly for UAE apps with payment flows, real-time features, or multiple user roles.

Native or cross-platform app built to the approved UX design. Tested on real iPhone and iPad devices before submission.

Node.js, Laravel, or Firebase backend with well-documented REST APIs. Designed to scale from day one and handle real production load.
