Creating iOS apps begins with a clear understanding of the audience, the app’s purpose, and the primary problem to address in the initial release. A solid discovery phase helps bound the MVP, select an appropriate architecture, and skip features that seem flashy in theory but don't enhance actual usage.

After laying the groundwork, attention moves to how the UI behaves, speed, and reliability across various iPhone generations and iOS updates. Uniform navigation conventions, deliberate state handling, and thoughtfully planned integrations (payments, authentication, analytics, backend APIs) help keep the product maintainable and scalable once it reaches the App Store.
