What we build

Native iPhone and iPad apps, built in Swift and handed over complete.

iPhone apps for customers

We build native iOS apps in Swift for the journeys your customers use every day, such as sign-up, account areas, ordering and notifications. You review working builds at the end of every sprint, so you see progress on a device instead of reading status reports.

iPad and internal business apps

Netofficials builds native iPadOS apps in Swift for field teams, staff tools and customer-facing use on a larger screen. We shape the layout around how your people work and connect the app to your existing back-end systems and APIs, so teams are not re-keying data.

Source code you own outright

At handoff you receive the full source code and the Xcode project files, with documentation and deployment access at release. IP assignment is confirmed in the contract before the build begins, so there is no dependency on us to keep your app running or to move it to another team.

Choose with context

Is a native Swift app the right fit for you?

ConsiderationSwift suits best whenWe would recommend another approach when
Platform focusYour product is built for iPhone and iPad, and you want full access to Apple's native frameworks and a polished iOS interface.You need one codebase on iOS and Android, or the app is mostly content that a responsive web app could serve. We will recommend that after scoping.
TeamYou want a team to build the iOS app and hand over the full source code and Xcode project files, or you want dedicated Swift developers working on your roadmap.Your in-house team already maintains a cross-platform codebase that fits your roadmap. We will say so after scoping and can still help with QA or specific skills.
Longevity and ownershipA native iOS or iPadOS app that connects to your APIs and relies on device features such as the camera, push notifications or Face IDYour product must ship on iOS and Android from one codebase, or a web app would meet the need. If so, we will recommend that approach after scoping.
How a Swift engagement runs

From written scope to a Swift app you own

  1. Discovery

    We write down your users, iPhone and iPad requirements, existing systems and first-release scope, and you approve that discovery scope before design starts.

    You receive
    • Written discovery scope
    • Open questions and assumptions
    • Initial estimate based on scope and integrations

    You approve the written discovery scope, covering users, iPhone and iPad requirements and first-release scope, before design starts.

  2. Design

    You review user flows, screen designs and the system architecture with our technical architect before any Swift code is written.

    You receive
    • User flows for iPhone and iPad
    • Screen designs
    • Architecture notes from our technical architect

    You review user flows, screen designs and architecture with our technical architect before any Swift code is written.

  3. Build

    One cross-functional team builds your native iOS and iPadOS app in Swift in Agile sprints, and you join a client-facing review at the end of every sprint.

    You receive
    • Working app builds shown at each sprint review
    • Client-facing sprint review at the end of every sprint
    • Swift code held to the architect's code quality standards

    You join a client-facing review at the end of every sprint and see the native app's progress first-hand.

  4. QA

    Our QA engineers test the app against the acceptance criteria agreed in the written scope, so you know what has been checked before release.

    You receive
    • Acceptance checklist taken from your written scope
    • QA report showing what was tested before release
    • Issue log tracking each defect through to resolution

    You accept the app against the acceptance criteria agreed in your written scope.

  5. Release

    We deploy, then hand over documentation, deployment access, the full source code and the Xcode project files, with IP assignment already confirmed in your contract.

    You receive
    • Deployed release of your iOS and iPadOS app
    • Documentation for your app and its deployment
    • Full source code, Xcode project files and deployment access

    You receive documentation, deployment access, the full source code and the Xcode project files.

Delivery & QA

Quality checked at every sprint review

  • Written discovery scope, with a client-facing review at the end of every sprint
  • QA by the same cross-functional team before each iOS and iPadOS release
  • Full source code and Xcode project files transferred at handoff
Three ways to engage

Choose how your Swift team is set up

Project delivery

Fixed-price project delivery suits an iOS or iPadOS app with a defined first release, where you want one agreed scope and a clear handover of the source code and Xcode project files.

  • Written discovery scope and milestones agreed before the build starts
  • A client-facing review at the end of every sprint
  • Full source code and Xcode project files transferred at handoff

Dedicated team

A dedicated India-based team suits you if you want to hire dedicated Swift developers for an app roadmap that will run past a single release.

  • A dedicated India-based team covering Swift, back-end, QA and DevOps skills
  • A dedicated India-based team of Swift, backend and QA engineers matched to your iOS or iPadOS roadmap
  • Full source code and Xcode project files transferred to you, with IP assignment confirmed in the contract before the build begins

Staff augmentation

Staff augmentation places Swift engineers inside your existing iOS team when you already have the product direction and need more hands.

  • Swift engineers added to your in-house iOS team for the skills you are missing
  • Engineers work in your tools and sprint process, with documentation and deployment access handed over at release
  • Communication window, meeting schedule and update cadence agreed with you before work begins
Before you brief us

Swift app development: your questions answered before you enquire

Who owns the source code and IP of the Swift app?

You do. IP assignment is confirmed in the contract before the build begins, and at handoff we transfer the full source code and Xcode project files for your native iOS or iPadOS app. We also hand over documentation and deployment access at release, so your team or any future vendor can maintain the app without depending on us.

How are cost and timing agreed, and can I hire dedicated Swift developers?

Cost and timing are agreed in writing after a discovery scope, because they depend on the number of screens and user flows, backend and API integrations, iPhone-only or iPhone and iPad support, and the team size you need. We work in three models: fixed-price project delivery, a dedicated India-based development team, or staff augmentation. If you want to hire dedicated Swift developers, the dedicated team or staff augmentation model fits best. Send a short brief and we will recommend the model that suits your roadmap.

How will we communicate and review progress across time zones?

We agree the communication window, meeting schedule and update cadence with you before work begins. A named delivery lead owns day-to-day progress and is your single point of contact, while a technical architect is accountable for system design, technology selection and code quality standards. Every sprint ends with a client-facing review, so you see working progress regularly. We can also work alongside your existing engineering team and tools.
