High-Performance iOS Apps
Developing mobile applications for the iOS platform is at the heart of what we do at Greenstone. We’ve been involved in iOS development on Apple’s platform since 2012. By leveraging the latest technology we’re able to provide outstanding user interactions on an iPhone and iPad. Creating quality user interfaces on iOS requires blending intuitive navigation and a great aesthetic design. The software needs to feel integrated with Apple’s ecosystem, which is why it is essential to be an expert in iOS app behaviour.

The iOS platform is perfect for delivering slick and engaging experiences that will fully impress your clients. If you are looking for unmatched performance, usability and reliability for your next mobile app project – writing a native iOS app is the way to go. Apple’s platform makes it easy to develop apps that perform well on all Apple devices, regardless of screen size or operating system version. We have extensive experience delivering mobile apps, in many different categories – both for business and entertainment. We also have the capability to build cross platform iOS and Android apps using the Flutter framework, such as our school scheduling app Staffly.
Ecosystem and Design
We’re experts at designing interfaces that feel natural within the iOS ecosystem. Being native iOS users ourselves, we put together journeys that make customers feel at home on Apple’s operating system. Familiarity is a critical aspect of intuitive designs, so by following Apple’s design principles, our apps can be picked up and used quickly without instructions or guidance.
Outstanding Reliability
If you’re looking for a mobile app platform that is going to be highly dependable, look no further than iOS. The tight integration between Apple’s mobile software and hardware means that app reliability is consistently the best in the industry. Because of the smaller number of devices that iOS supports, the number of known device-specific bugs and issues is smaller than on Android. We can leverage the sturdy foundations of Apple’s operating system to ensure you’re mobile app never lets you down.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build a custom iOS app in New Zealand?
The cost to develop a custom iOS app in NZ typically ranges from $5,000 to $25,000+, depending on the complexity, features, and platform integration. We’ll provide a transparent quote tailored to your specific needs.
Do you build iOS apps using Flutter or native Swift?
We develop both native iOS apps in Swift and cross-platform apps using Flutter. Flutter allows us to build for iOS and Android with a single codebase, saving you time and money without sacrificing performance.
What’s the difference between a native iOS app and a Flutter app?
A native iOS app is built specifically for Apple devices using Swift or Objective-C, offering the most seamless performance. A Flutter app uses Google’s framework to run on both iOS and Android, making it ideal for businesses wanting to reach both platforms on a budget.
How long does it take to develop an iOS app from start to finish?
Most iOS apps take between 4 and 12 weeks to develop, depending on the scope. We handle design, development, testing, and App Store deployment — all under one roof.
Can you help publish my iOS app to the Apple App Store?
Yes — we manage the entire App Store submission process, including setting up your Apple Developer account, complying with Apple’s guidelines, and handling the approval process.
Can you build iOS apps that work offline or connect to a database?
Absolutely. We build iOS apps that work offline, store data locally, or connect to external APIs and cloud databases like Firebase or Google Sheets — ideal for custom business apps.
Are Flutter apps suitable for complex iOS applications?
Yes — Flutter has matured to handle complex, high-performance iOS apps. Unless you need very specific hardware features or tight OS integration, Flutter is often a smart and scalable choice.

Yes — we offer flexible post-launch support, from bug fixes and feature upgrades to OS compatibility updates as iOS evolves.
Can you integrate features like push notifications, GPS, or login systems?
Definitely. We can build in push notifications, location tracking, secure logins (including Google or Apple sign-in), camera access, and more — depending on your app’s needs.
