Creating iOS apps begins with clarity about the audience, the app's purpose, and the core problem to address in the initial release. A thorough discovery phase helps outline the MVP, select an appropriate architecture, and skip features that seem impressive in theory but don't enhance actual usage.

With the foundation in place, emphasis moves to UI behavior, performance, and robustness across different iPhone generations and iOS releases. Uniform navigation flows, disciplined state handling, and thoughtfully planned integrations (payments, authentication, analytics, backend APIs) simplify maintenance and scalability after releasing on the App Store.
