Apple features put to work for Newcastle users

A venue, health provider or field service business in Newcastle may want Apple Pay, camera scanning or offline sync. IOS app development in Newcastle picks the Apple features that fit your use case and skips the ones that only add complexity.

Kedra Digi works with Newcastle 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.

  • Face ID protection
  • Bluetooth equipment tested
  • VoiceOver supported

Common situations

What Newcastle clients usually ask us to solve

Apps using the camera and sensors

Apps that use the camera and sensors rely on native frameworks for reliable performance. Swift gives direct access to them.

Subscription and purchase apps

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

Apps with maps and tracking

Apps with maps and tracking use location features that require clear permission and battery care.

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 use Face ID and security features?
To protect sensitive screens and data with biometric sign-in, backed by a fallback code and secure storage in the Keychain. We design so users can reach their data safely without friction.
Can you build apps that use Bluetooth equipment?
Yes, using Apple's Core Bluetooth framework, tested with the real devices. Equipment often has quirks, so we confirm behaviour on the hardware and handle disconnections gracefully.
How do you keep up with iOS releases?
We test early versions of each new iOS release, update the app and release before most users upgrade, so the app keeps working and takes advantage of useful new features.
Can the app support accessibility features?
Yes. We support VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, sufficient contrast and other settings, and test with them, since accessibility benefits all users and is often expected by larger customers.
