What is iOS app development?
iOS app development is building apps for the operating system that runs Apple's iPhone and iPad. Native iOS apps are written in Swift using Apple's tools, such as Xcode and SwiftUI, which gives them the best performance and full access to features like Face ID, Apple Pay and push notifications.

Compare
Native iOS vs cross-platform
Native gets the most from Apple devices. Cross-platform covers both stores with one codebase.
| Compare | Native iOS (Swift) | Cross-platform (Flutter or React Native) |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms | iPhone and iPad only | iOS and Android together |
| Apple features | Full, immediate access | Most features, sometimes through plugins |
| Performance | The best possible | Very good for most apps |
| Best for | Apple-first audiences and feature-rich apps | Reaching both platforms from the start |
