Developing iOS applications begins with clarity about the audience, the app's purpose, and the scenario to tackle in the initial release. A solid discovery phase helps define the MVP scope, pick the appropriate architecture, and skip features that seem impressive on paper but don't enhance actual use.

After the foundation is in place, attention moves to UI behavior, performance, and stability across iPhone models and iOS updates. Uniform navigation schemes, meticulous state management, and thoughtfully planned integrations (payments, authentication, analytics, backend APIs) help keep the product maintainable and scalable after launch.
