Creating iOS apps begins with clarity: identifying the target users, the core task the app will perform, and the scenario to tackle in the initial release. A solid discovery phase helps outline the MVP, select an appropriate architecture, and steer away from features that seem impressive on paper but don't enhance actual usage.

After the base is established, attention turns to UI behavior, performance, and reliability across different iPhone models and iOS releases. Uniform navigation conventions, prudent state management, and thoughtfully planned integrations (payments, authentication, analytics, backend APIs) simplify maintenance and scalability following the App Store release.
