Apple features put to work for Canberra users

A membership body, retailer or service firm in Canberra may want Apple Pay, camera scanning or offline sync. IOS app development in Canberra picks the Apple features that fit your use case and skips the ones that only add complexity or privacy exposure.

Kedra Digi works with Canberra organisations remotely from Perth. You get a named contact, a written plan and regular check-ins, and in-person meetings are available when you want them and it makes sense for the project.

  • Keychain and biometric sign-in
  • Early iOS version testing
  • SwiftUI for new screens

Common situations

What Canberra clients usually ask us to solve

Secure apps using Face ID

Secure apps using Face ID protect sensitive screens with biometric sign-in and secure storage, balanced with a simple fallback.

Apps with maps and location

Apps with maps and location help visitors and staff navigate. We handle permissions and battery use carefully.

Subscription products

Subscription products must follow Apple's in-app purchase rules closely. We implement and test them.

1
Features

Payments, health data or maps add integration work and extra testing before release.

2
Design depth

Custom animation and unusual layouts take longer than standard screens that follow Apple's patterns.

3
Back end

Accounts and stored data need a secure service sitting behind the iPhone app.

4
Devices

iPhones and iPads need slightly different layouts, so supporting both adds design time.

5
Review

Apple's rules shape how some features must work, which we check early to avoid delays.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask your own →
Can you build for iPad too?
Yes, we design layouts for the larger iPad screen so the app makes good use of the space.
Will you handle App Store review?
Yes, we prepare everything the store needs and respond promptly to any questions from Apple's reviewers.
Can you use Apple Pay?
Yes, and other Apple services such as Face ID or sign-in, wherever they genuinely suit your product.
Do you use Swift?
Yes, we write in Swift and use SwiftUI for modern interfaces, with UIKit where an older approach is needed.
Can we test early builds?
Yes, through TestFlight on your own phones, so your staff and customers can try early builds.
Do you update the app for new iOS?
Yes, we test early with new iOS releases and plan a small update each time so the app stays smooth.
How do you secure an iOS app?
With the Keychain for secrets, encrypted storage and connections, certificate checks and biometric authentication, tested against common attack methods.
Can you build an Apple Watch or widget companion?
Yes. Glanceable features can add value for some apps, and we recommend them only when they fit.
How often will iOS changes affect the app?
Every year Apple releases a new iOS version. We test early versions and update the app so it is ready when users upgrade.
Do you use SwiftUI or UIKit?
Mostly SwiftUI for new work, with UIKit where older iOS versions or specific features require it.
