App Store submission, post-launch analytics, and iterative feature development.
Native Swift is the right choice when iOS-specific features (Core ML, ARKit, Apple Watch, fine-grained animations) are central to your app's value proposition, or when you require absolute peak performance. React Native or Flutter are better value when iOS and Android have equal priority and the app is primarily content/commerce rather than heavily native-feature-dependent.
A typical DTC iOS shopping app takes 12–18 weeks from discovery to App Store launch. Simple loyalty or companion apps can launch in 6–10 weeks. We provide detailed timelines after a requirements session.
Apple reviews every app before publication, typically taking 1–3 business days for new apps and 1–2 days for updates. Scale D2C manages the entire submission process, pre-checking against App Review Guidelines to minimise rejection risk.
Build the iOS app your DTC brand deserves — premium, fast, and conversion-optimised for Apple's highest-spending users.
