MVP Stack

iOS mobile app development agency

Full iOS mobile app development — done on your AWS account

We are a focused iOS MVP agency (not a 50-service dev shop): native SwiftUI apps with production backend plumbing — Cognito, API Gateway JWT, Go Lambda, DynamoDB, and CDK — in a repo you own.

Typical first deploy (Core foundation)

SwiftUI

Native iOS — not React Native by default

Your AWS

You own infra, data, and billing

Engagements

MVP Build Sprint

Fixed scope to reach a real v1: auth, core flows, backend handlers, CDK infra, and deploy pipeline. Best when you need a shippable iOS app fast.

Tech Lead / Fractional CTO

You keep your devs. We own architecture, reviews, and unblockers for AWS + iOS. Best when you have capacity but need a senior system design owner.

Migration / Rescue

Unstick Cognito, CDK, or API Gateway JWT integration. Refactor into a production layout and make ./mvp deploy repeatable.

What you get

Full-stack iOS + backend

SwiftUI MVVM client and Go Lambda APIs — not a mockup or no-code prototype.

Production-shaped stack

Same patterns as MVP Stack Core: CDK-owned Cognito, JWT authorizer, DynamoDB.

Maintainable handoff

Runbooks, folder structure, and Cursor rules so your team can extend after launch.

Fit check

Best fit

Founders and teams who want AWS-first native iOS MVPs with real auth and APIs.

Not a fit

Android-first, design-only, or Firebase/Supabase-only projects.

How we work

End-to-end iOS app development process

A clear path from scope to App Store–ready v1 — without vendor lock-in.

  1. 1

    Discovery & scope

    Product brief, 3–5 core flows, auth model, and AWS account readiness. Fixed scope before build starts.

  2. 2

    Architecture & infra

    CDK stack: Cognito, API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB. JWT authorizer and iOS config from deploy outputs.

  3. 3

    SwiftUI + backend build

    MVVM screens, Go handlers, CRUD patterns. Optional native Apple/Google auth (Pro patterns).

  4. 4

    Deploy & validate

    Live stack on your AWS, /health and protected routes proven, TestFlight-ready build guidance.

  5. 5

    Handoff & support

    Repo transfer, runbooks, optional Deploy Rescue or Pro Continuity for updates.

iOS development services

What we build on iOS

  • Native SwiftUI apps (iOS 17+) with MVVM architecture
  • Sign in with Apple, Google, and email/password via Cognito
  • Protected REST APIs (API Gateway + JWT)
  • Real-time-ready backend on Lambda + DynamoDB
  • App Store submission guidance and production checklists
  • Integrations: push, payments, analytics (scoped per project)

Why us

Focused iOS MVP agency vs. general mobile dev shops

Large agencies rank for broad terms with volume, ads, and dozens of service pages. We compete on depth for AWS-native iOS MVPs.

FAQ

Full iOS mobile app development agency — FAQ

Answers for founders comparing agencies and evaluating AWS-native iOS MVPs.

Are you a full iOS mobile app development agency?
Yes — for MVP-stage native iOS apps with AWS backends. We are not a generalist shop for Android, web-only, or blockchain; we go deep on SwiftUI + Cognito + Lambda + CDK so you ship a real v1, not a slide deck.
Do you only build on AWS?
Yes. Cognito, API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, and CDK are our stack. That keeps delivery predictable and gives you full ownership of infra and data.
Native Swift or cross-platform?
Native SwiftUI by default. We target founders who want Apple-quality UX and a maintainable iOS codebase — not a shared React Native layer unless you explicitly scope otherwise.
Can we start from MVP Stack Core?
Yes. Many engagements begin from the MIT Core repo on GitHub, then we add your product domain, branding, and integrations on a fixed-scope sprint.
How much does iOS MVP development cost?
Build sprints are quoted after a short discovery call (scope, flows, integrations). Add-ons like Deploy Rescue ($149) and Feature Add-ons (from $399) are listed on our pricing section. We do fixed-scope quotes — not open-ended hourly retainers by default.
What is a typical timeline?
Depends on scope: a focused MVP with auth + 2–3 core flows is often weeks, not months, because we start from production plumbing. Rescue or tech-lead engagements vary.
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes — optional Pro Continuity, Deploy Rescue, and Feature Add-ons. You keep all code regardless.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes — ask when you reach out. We treat client product details as confidential.
What do you need from us to start?
A short product brief, target users, 3–5 core flows, and access to an AWS account (or we guide bootstrap).
