iOS app development, led from Valencia

Applefy’s CEO and headquarters are in Valencia, Spain, with an engineering team distributed across Ukraine — and most of what we’ve actually shipped is iOS: a live crypto exchange’s trading app, a construction job-costing app, a city-exploration app, and a seizure-alert wearable.

Why work with an iOS team based in Valencia

Valencia is where Applefy is led from, not a claim to a local office you can walk into — we have no verified street address and we’re not pitching one. What we do have is a founder you talk to directly and a run of real iOS apps to show for it.

01

A founder-led team based in Valencia

Applefy’s CEO and headquarters are in Valencia, Spain, with engineering distributed across Ukraine — you work directly with the person building your product, not an account-management layer.

02

iOS is most of what we actually ship

Four of our five published case studies include an iOS app — a crypto exchange’s trading client, a construction job-costing app, a city-exploration app, and a seizure-alert wearable. Real, shipped products, not a portfolio padded with mockups.

03

Release discipline on an app that can’t go down

BitCoinPay Trade has been on the App Store since March 2021 and is now past its 19th release; Applefy owns the iOS client today, keeping it stable release after release — the kind of long-term release management a one-off app build never has to prove.

04

Native across the Apple device range

Walkable runs on iPhone and iPad, Mellow pairs iPhone with Apple Watch, and we offer watchOS Development and iPadOS Development as standalone services for products that need more than a phone screen.

What we deliver

01

Native Swift & SwiftUI Builds

From architecture through interface to a submitted build — native Swift and SwiftUI engineering, not a cross-platform wrapper around a web view.

02

Session, Auth & Release Engineering

The parts of an app that have to keep working release after release: session handling, authentication flows, and a release process careful enough for an app where a bad build has real consequences.

03

Apple Watch & iPad Extensions

watchOS companion apps, iPadOS-specific layouts, and sensor or HealthKit integration where the product needs more than an iPhone screen.

04

QA, App Store Submission & Support

Device and OS-version testing, App Store review and submission, and ongoing maintenance once the app is live — the unglamorous work that keeps a shipped app shipped.

Faqs

Common questions about hiring an iOS team based in Valencia

Honestly: hire us for the work, not the city. Our CEO and headquarters are led from Valencia, Spain, with engineering distributed across Ukraine, and most of our real case studies are iOS builds — a live crypto exchange’s trading app, a construction job-costing app, a city-exploration app, and a seizure-alert wearable. Location is where we’re led from; the shipped work is the actual reason to hire us.

Yes — all of it, in practice. Our engineering team is distributed and remote-first, and our real clients are in London (Walkable), Berlin (Mellow), and beyond. A Valencia HQ doesn’t mean a Valencia-only client list.

We don’t keep a public office you can walk into — calls and async work are how every engagement actually runs, wherever you are. If an in-person meeting matters for a specific project, raise it on the first call and we’ll figure out what’s practical.

The same three tiers as any Applefy project: $20K-$40K for a simple app (3-6 weeks), $40K-$100K for a mid-complexity app (2-4 months), and $100K-$250K+ for a complex, multi-feature app (4-8 months). Where a given project lands depends on scope — screen count, backend integration, and platforms beyond iPhone.

Depends on the project. For BitCoinPay we own the iOS client only — the exchange’s backend belongs to the client’s own team. For Kiolfast we built the iOS app, the Android app, and the backend API underneath both. For a new build we can scope the backend alongside the app — see our Backend Development page — or integrate with infrastructure you already have.

Yes. Walkable runs on iPhone and iPad; Mellow pairs iPhone with Apple Watch to detect motion typical of seizures and alert emergency contacts — it doesn’t diagnose, predict, or detect every seizure. We also offer watchOS Development and iPadOS Development as standalone services beyond what a given app needs.
