Creating iOS apps begins with understanding the audience, the app's purpose, and the problem to address in the initial release. A solid discovery phase defines the MVP scope, guides the proper architecture, and prevents features that seem impressive on paper but don't enhance actual use.

With the basics in place, attention moves to UI behavior, performance, and reliability across different iPhone models and iOS releases. Uniform navigation, meticulous state management, and thoughtfully planned integrations (payments, authentication, analytics, backend APIs) simplify maintenance and scalability post‑App Store release.
