iOS Apps

We have 10 years of experience developing iOS apps and building such, using many technology streams and integrated apps with various third-party APIs/Systems to deliver desired functionality. Fidenz’s engineers carefully select time tested iOS libraries to build robust apps efficiently. We facilitate easy to use and reliable app distribution methods that provide tracking and monitoring.

Fidenz History with iOS

Our first iOS app development was back in 2011, when iOS 4.0 was the latest, and Xcode 4 was used for development. Back then, the development environment, user interface development, app publication, and many other elements of the iOS ecosystem were in a primitive stage compared to the latest. Creation, configuration and management of certificates and provisioning profiles were more manual, and app submission was lengthy. Initially, there was a long learning curve, but that gave the engineers at Fidenz the opportunity to learn the fundamentals and underlying architecture of iOS and its ecosystem in depth.

Third-Party Integration

iOS provides a comprehensive set of SDKs and APIs to build great applications. However, a successful app needs to be integrated with many different third-party services to deliver the best services and experience to the end-user. To make iOS apps more versatile, we integrate apps we develop with many other external systems. Authorize.net, PayPal, Stripe are a few of the payment gateways we frequently integrate with apps we develop. For push notifications, we use external services such as Firebase and Urban Airship. These services provide more reliable, manageable and scalable solutions to scale the apps as required.

Our experience with mobile app analytics frameworks such as Mixpanel and Google Analytics for Mobile allows our clients to reach the end-users efficiently and accurately. Target marketing, cross-selling, and up-selling, etc., could be achieved via such platforms. Our engineers have the technical and business knowledge to advise clients on making analytical decisions. We use Branch.io to drive traffic to apps we develop. This enables the usage of Deep-link with additional information to provide more accurate and relevant information to the app user.

Expertise

We are fans of open-source projects. We encourage all our developers to contribute to open source while using open source tools and libraries as much as possible. Following are some of the tools we have developed for iOS, Android, & Ruby on Rails and decided to make open-source to benefit from what we have developed.
