iOS App Development Company in Singapore

Potado is an Apple-Certified iOS app development company that build award-winning apps for iPhone and iPad devices in Singapore. We are a team made up for designers, developers and product managers who work with startups as well as established brands in Singapore. Technology advances so quickly, sometimes it can be hard to keep track of it all, so we make sure to always stay ahead of the curve, using the latest technologies for mobile and web as well as emerging tech such as machine learning and IoT.

We work closely with our clients to ensure that we develop the iOS app exactly as they had imagined it. We do this by setting up an excellent feedback system and transparent workflow. Then iterate, iterate, and iterate some more until we are ready to launch. Our team has a strong technical understanding but communicate with our clients in a non-technical, easy to understand way.

Why Develop An iOS App In Singapore

Now iOS isn't the most popular mobile operating system in Singapore, but it is an important one. Just over 20% of the population in Singapore uses an iOS device, which is about 1/4 of population. Some people might that just developing an app for Android would be a good move for their startup as Android owns the larger part of the mobile OS market share in Singapore, but it's important to remember that 20% of an entire population will be over 1 million people, even in a small country like Singapore.

Another important statistic is that people who buy Apple devices such as iPhone and iPads are bigger spenders, as Apple doesn't produce low budget devices. This attracts the wealthier half of the population and they are more likely to pay for your services in your iOS app. So although iOS users are more likely to spend more, it's important to build mobile applications for both operating systems if you want to reach more users.

iOS App Development In Singapore

If you want to develop an iOS app for your business, you most likely want to do so for iPhone and iPad. Apple apps can be developed for iPhone with iOS, iPad with iPad OS, Mac with MacOS, Apple Watches with WatchOS, and Apple TV with TvOS. iOS apps were traditionally developed in Objective-C but most Singapore companies have now moved to Swift and Swift UI for their projects. We still do some Objective-C develop, but only to maintain old projects. Swift is a great language and it is the best way to build an iOS app so we use it for all new projects. To build native iOS apps we use Xcode and Xcode Cloud for th frontend development. We also use an app called TestFlight to test the app internally and with our clients. TestFlight allows us to add multiple testers so we can allow your entire company to test the application without launching it.

By developing an app within the Apple ecosystem we have access to useful frameworks such as Apple Pay. With cashless payments taking over Singapore, integrating Apple Pay into the app for payments is almost essential to improve the user experience. Apple Authentication is another useful one that most people use almost every day. With so many digital services, it can be painful to manage login credentials for all of them, so login into them with your Apple ID is a great solution that our iOS developers can integrate into the application.

Other popular Apple frameworks in Singapore include: 5G Networks, Health and Fitness, HomeKit, Machine Learning, Maps, StoreKit, and iBeacon.

It's also important to note that developing a native iOS application isn't always the best solution. If you need an app to target both platforms it might be better to develop the app with React Native. Shopee, a popular eccomerce app in Singapore, doesn't need to use device hardware for example. It's simply an online store where people can buy and sell products. In this case it will be much better to use cross-platform technology.

iPhone App Development In Singapore

If you you want to publish your app on the Apple App Store, our iPhone app Developers will work with you to develop a native iOS app. iPhone apps are developed using the language Swift on XCode. These applications are best suited for hardware intensive apps. When developing an iPhone app it's important to develop the app for all devices. All models come with different screen sizes and older models might not support some functionality so it's important to consider that.

iPad App Development In Singapore

Developing an app for iPad is similar to iPhone as they are both running on the iOS operating system. We use the same tools to achieve this. The only difference is that the screen is a different size. When you develop an iOS app you can't just keep the same layout across iPhone and iPad as that isn't an optimal user experience. With a larger screen you can display extra features on the screen instead of just enlarging the same view as you would have on iPad.

iOS App Development Process In Singapore

When working with a iOS app development team, having a clear and transparent process paves the way for a successful partnership. At Potado we do just that. We start by working with you to plan out the project, from blueprints and design to developing and launching your iOS app. Whether you are building app iPhone, iPad or wearable app, planning essential if you want to complete the project on time. Here is a brief rundown of how we work.

Plan

Planning is the most important part of the project. It's where our iOS app developers share all our industry expert advice and work with you to discuss features, monetization, and technologies.

Wireframe

Once we have an idea of what the app will do we need to plan the screens we need. We will draw up some wireframes to plan the interfaces and our developers will start designing our database structure.

Design

Our design team will then start the user interface designs. These designs are the actual look and feel of the app. We will work with you to find a design that you and your users will love by iterating until you are happy.

iOS App Develop

Then the main part of the project will commence. Our iOS app developers will now start building the iPhone or iPad app using the designs and plans. You will be as involved in this part of the process as you want and we will allow you to test the app as it is being developed so you can share continual feedback.

Launch

When the app is complete and we have run tests to ensure there are no bugs we can launch the app on the Apple App Store. We will assist with setting up the listings. There is a review process done by Apple and Google, so we just need to go through that and then the app will be live.

Work With Top iOS App Developers In Singapore

If you are looking for world class iOS app developers you have come to the right place. If you want to build an iOS to try out a new startup idea, improve your brands customer loyalty, or build an iOS app to use internally to improve your companies operations you will need an experienced developer who can build an iOS app that can support all the needed functionality and features. Our team has built apps that have been featured on the Apple App Store and been downloaded by millions of users so we are ready to build your companies application. This is what a few of your clients have had to say about us:

"We use paper forms for our employees to complete surveys after every duty. That data is important as it helps us understand how they did their job and how our customers responded to the service. We decided to build an iOS app with Potado that we could install on iPads. We then got our staff to use that instead, and using a dashboard within the admin section of the app, we were able to see the data and results in real time. This removed the need to have a team manually do it every time. That's the power of technology!"

"Since so many people in Singapore are Android users, we decided to build an Android app for our customers as we didn't have the budget to build both, but after the app received such great user feedback, we worked with Potado to develop the app for iOS. The challenge was that we needed a layout that fit both iPhone and iPad devices as our customers use both mobile and tablet devices to interact with our service. We decided to develop the app using Cross-platform tech so we could keep maintained and upgrade costs low."
