App Studio: your iOS app, built and live on the App Store for $5,000
App Studio is ASOitis's iOS app development service. For a flat $5,000, Ahmed Gagan builds your app natively in Swift and SwiftUI, sets up subscriptions and analytics, writes an App Store listing optimized for search, and handles submission and App Review until the app is live. One developer, a fixed price for the agreed scope, and it starts with a call.

What's included
Everything between your idea and a live App Store listing. The same knowledge behind our ASO services and App Review fixes goes into the build, so the app ships ready to be found and approved.
01
Scope and plan
We turn your idea into a written scope — screens, features, what's in version one and what waits — before any code is written.
02
Native iOS build
Built in Swift and SwiftUI for iPhone, the way Apple's own apps are built. No cross-platform wrapper.
03
Onboarding that converts
The patterns that work in today's top apps — a short personalising quiz, permission priming, the result before the ask — applied to your app.
04
Subscriptions and paywall
In-app purchases or subscriptions with a paywall that meets App Review's rules: billed price shown clearly, trial terms, restore, Terms and Privacy links.
05
Analytics
Events wired from first launch to purchase, so you can see where people drop off from day one.
06
App Store listing, optimized
Name, subtitle and keyword field researched for search, screenshot captions, description and privacy details — the listing work ASOitis sells on its own.
07
App Store Connect setup
Products, agreements, privacy labels, account deletion and Sign in with Apple where needed — the requirements that cause most rejections.
08
Submission until live
TestFlight builds as we go, then submission and App Review. If Apple rejects it, we fix it and resubmit until it's on the App Store.
How it works
One developer from first call to launch day — no handoffs between a sales team, designers and a dev shop.
Discuss
A call about your idea, who it's for and what version one needs to do. No cost, no commitment.
Scope
A written scope of what gets built. The price for that scope is $5,000, fixed.
Build
The app, built natively, with TestFlight builds so you can try it on your own iPhone as it comes together.
Launch
Listing written and optimized, App Store Connect set up, submitted — and every App Review round handled until it's live.
Grow (optional)
Once it's live, our ASO plans keep the listing, rankings and paywall improving. Nothing is required after launch.
According to ASOitis, Apple rejected 2,093,244 app submissions in 2025 — so App Studio's $5,000 price includes App Review itself: every rejection, fix and resubmission is handled until the app is live.

Who it's for
- Founders with an app idea who want it built properly the first time
- Businesses that need an iPhone app for their customers or staff
- Non-technical founders who want one person accountable from idea to App Store
What it isn't
- Android or Google Play — App Studio builds for iOS only
- Cross-platform builds (React Native, Flutter) — every app is native Swift
- Apps whose core idea App Review won't approve — we'll tell you on the first call
Questions founders ask first
How much does App Studio cost?
$5,000 for a complete, App Store–optimized iOS app, built and shipped until it's live on the App Store. The scope is agreed in writing before work starts, and the price for that scope is fixed.
What's included in the $5,000?
Scoping, the native Swift and SwiftUI build, onboarding, subscriptions and paywall, analytics, an App Store listing optimized for search, App Store Connect setup, and submission — including any App Review rejections — until the app is live.
Do you handle App Store submission and rejections?
Yes. Submission and App Review are part of the price. If Apple rejects the app, we fix the issue and resubmit until it's approved. Our App Review library shows how we approach the common rejections.
Whose Apple Developer account is the app published under?
Yours. Apple's Guideline 5.2.1 says apps should be submitted by the person or legal entity that owns or has licensed the intellectual property, so the app goes live under your own Apple Developer Program membership ($99 a year, paid to Apple). We set everything up in it for you.
Do you build Android apps too?
No. App Studio is iOS only, built natively in Swift and SwiftUI. ASOitis's growth work is iOS-only for the same reason: depth on one platform.
How long does it take?
It depends on the scope, so the timeline is agreed on the call alongside the written scope. You'll get TestFlight builds during development, so you can try the app before launch.
What happens after the app is live?
Nothing is required. If you want the app to keep growing, our App Store Optimization services start with a $99 audit, or one-time fixes for specific jobs.
