What you're hiring

An iOS Mobile App Development Company That’s Done This 500 Times, Not Five.

An iOS app development company is a firm that builds, tests, and launches native applications for Apple’s iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS, tvOS, and vision platform using Swift and Objective-C.

Finding the right iOS app development services provider that actually delivers in the App Store is harder than you think. You need someone who subcontracts to anonymous freelancers, quotes low but overcharges you later, or hands you a codebase that fails Apple’s privacy review for a privacy manifest violation. ​Trango Tech has been providing native iOS development services since the App Store opened in 2008. We built for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Vision Pro in Swift 6 and Swift UI. We integrate Apple intelligence and foundation models on supported devices and maintain 100% privacy for every iOS app submitted in the last 18 months.

Trango Tech has been a native iOS mobile app development company since the App Store opened in 2008. We build for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Vision Pro in Swift 6 and SwiftUI.

    What we build

    Our End-to-End iOS Application Development Services

    Our iOS app development services range from a fixed-price MVP to multi-device Apple ecosystem services, leveraging native Swift, Objective-C migration, SwiftUI, and the latest Apple frameworks.

    Custom iOS App Development Services

    We provide custom iPhone application development services to create scalable, custom mobile apps that offer an intuitive user experience, innovative features, and smooth interactions.

    iPad & iPhone App Development Services:

    Our iPhone app development services involve the creation of customizable iPhone and iPad apps that reflect your brand’s mission & target audience.

    Apple Watch App Development

    Our iOS app developers create both dependent and independent Apple Watch apps integrated with in-app purchasing & automatic iOS updates.

    Apple TV App Development

    We create native tvOS apps that enable you to deliver immersive, high-quality video content, games, and services directly to users’ TVs.

    Our iOS development services also include developing apps for visionOS, Apple’s Spatial computing platform that combines digital content with the physical world.

    iOS App Modernization

    We offer app modernization from Objective-C to Swift, from UIKit to SwiftUI, and from Core Data to Swift Data, enabling a painless migration of legacy iOS codebases.

    iOS Game Development

    We create interactive, high-performance entertainment applications specifically for Apple’s operating system, including iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

    iOS Consulting & Code Audit:

    As a custom iOS app development company, we provide a 1-2 week paid audit of your existing iOS codebase, architecture, security, app store compliance, and CI/CD.

    Apple ecosystem coverage

    We Use One Code Base for Every Apple Device Your Users Actually Own

    Most agencies just stop at iPhone, but we built across the full Apple ecosystem with a shared Swift UI core, where it makes sense, cutting the total budget by 30-40% compared to building each platform separately.

    iOS

    iPhone

    From iPhone SE to Pro Max. Dynamic Island, ProMotion, Always-On display.

    iPadOS

    iPad

    Stage Manager, Apple Pencil, multitasking, and Mac Catalyst handoff.

    Free decision tool

    Native iOS App Development or Cross-platform? An Honest Answer in 60 Seconds

    Most agencies tell you what they can build — not what you should build. This 4-question wizard tells you whether native Swift/SwiftUI, React Native, or Flutter fits your project. The recommendation is based on engineering trade-offs, not on what we want to sell you.

    Native wins when you need top performance, deep iOS hardware (LiDAR, ARKit, HealthKit, Vision), Apple Intelligence integration, watchOS/tvOS/visionOS support, or App Store-quality UX. Cross-platform wins on iOS+Android with one team, faster MVPs, and lower long-run TCO when you're not stack-locked.

      Step 1 of 5

      Are you launching iOS only, or iOS + Android together?

      Will it use any iOS-specific hardware or AI?

      ARKit, LiDAR, HealthKit, Apple Intelligence, Vision Pro, etc.

      How performance-critical is it?

      Gaming, AR, real-time video, heavy graphics, financial trading.

      How fast do you need to ship?

      Where should we send the recommendation?

      We'll email a one-page PDF with the rationale, TCO comparison, and hiring implications.

      No spam. We'll only follow up if you ask us to.
      Industries we serve

      2025 Apple frontier — what most iOS agencies don't ship yet

      We build with the Apple stack of today, not 2022.

      Apple Intelligence opened the Foundation Models API to third-party apps in 2025. visionOS reshaped what spatial software looks like. SwiftData replaced Core Data. We ship with these, not around them.

      Apple Intelligence

      Apple Intelligence + Foundation Models

      Apple opened on-device LLM access to third-party apps in 2025. We integrate Foundation Models, Core ML, Vision, Natural Language and App Intents — for free, private, offline AI on every supported device.

      • Writing Tools, structured data extraction, summarization
      • Custom Siri actions via App Intents
      • Image Playground and Genmoji APIs where appropriate
      • No per-request cost. No data leaves the device.
      visionOS

      Apple Vision Pro & spatial apps

      Native visionOS apps in SwiftUI + RealityKit + ARKit, or bring your existing iPad/iOS app to spatial with depth, gestures, and Immersive Spaces. Our team is on the Vision Pro Developer Kit programme.

      • Volumes & Immersive Spaces design
      • Hand tracking, eye gaze, persistent anchors
      • Mac Virtual Display + multi-window enterprise UX
      • Spatial video and 3D content delivery
      Modern Swift stack

      Swift 6, SwiftUI, SwiftData, async/await

      If your app is still UIKit + Core Data + completion handlers, we modernize it. The 2025 stack is Swift 6 strict concurrency, SwiftUI 6, SwiftData with #Index and compound uniqueness, async/await everywhere, Combine for streams.

      • UIKit → SwiftUI screen-by-screen migration
      • Core Data → SwiftData with rich predicates
      • Xcode Cloud CI/CD with TestFlight automation
      • Strict concurrency adoption without breakage
      Day-1 iOS support

      WWDC tracker & Day-1 readiness

      Native iOS apps support new iOS versions on launch day — that's the whole point of native. Our internal WWDC tracker has every client app updated and tested against the iOS beta cycle, so your app ships compatible the day Apple's release goes live.

      • Beta testing every June after WWDC
      • iOS GM compatibility confirmed before release day
      • Feature adoption proposals within 2 weeks of WWDC
      • Your users never wake up to a broken app
      Privacy, security & App Store compliance

      The reason apps get rejected? Almost always privacy.

      Apple rejected 12% of App Store submissions in Q1 2025 for Privacy Manifest violations alone. That number gets worse if you fail App Tracking Transparency disclosure or HIG compliance. We screen for all of it before we submit — not after.

      Every iOS app we ship comes with a complete Privacy Manifest declaring data types, API usage codes, and third-party SDK access; an ATT prompt with explicit third-party data recipient disclosure as required by the 2025 ATT updates; and a regulatory profile matched to your industry — HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA.

      Privacy Manifest

      Declared data types, API codes, third-party SDK disclosure. Mandatory since May 2024.

      App Tracking Transparency

      Permission prompts with named third-party data recipients per 2025 update.

      HIPAA & PHI

      BAA-ready architecture, end-to-end encryption, audit logging.

      PCI-DSS

      Tokenization, Apple Pay, no PAN at rest. PCI-DSS Level 1 ready.

      SOC 2 / ISO 27001

      Access controls, audit logs, least-privilege by default.

      GDPR & CCPA

      Data export, deletion, consent management, regional data residency.

      ★★★★★

      After two failures with different agencies, Trango tech rebuilt our iOS retail app from scratch in Swift/SwiftUI. The app store ranked us in the top 50 in our category in week three after launch.

      ★★★★★

      They identified the mandatory Apple privacy manifest error, preventing a 4-week delay in app submissions. Their post-launch SLA was very reliable and clear, which I’ve not seen from any vendor.

        Should I build a native iOS app or use React Native or Flutter?
        It depends on your long-term goals. If you want top performance then go for native Swift/Swift UI. On the other hand, choose React Native or Flutter if you need iOS and Android from a single codebase, faster time-to-market, or a shared team for web and mobile. Reach out to us and our app development experts can tell you which approach best suits your needs. native Swift/SwiftUI when you need top performance, deep iOS hardware access (LiDAR, ARKit, HealthKit, Vision), Apple Intelligence integration, watchOS/tvOS/visionOS support, or App Store-quality UX.

        How do you compare to offshore iOS developers in India or the Philippines?
