The Jed Mahonis Group has been building mobile apps since 2012, and we’ve tripped over many hurdles when launching iOS apps. Tim and Rob share their tricks of the trade for building apps specifically for iOS, so you can learn from our mistakes and successfully navigate Apple’s unique roadblocks. (And if you’re looking to build an Android app, our next episode has you covered.)

In this episode, you will learn:

• What a DUNS number is


• How to be a good steward of your users’ data


• What to expect to pay Apple in annual fees


• What hardware is needed for building and testing iOS apps


• Why you shouldn’t install beta software on your primary phone


• Why you should be familiar with Apple’s review guidelines before building your app


• How many iOS versions your app should support


• How the TestFlight app works for testing your app yourself and with your users


• What developer tools you can expect to interface with


• Why you should use a task manager for organizing new feature requests


• What the difference is between enterprise and App Store distribution


• How App Store Connect’s two factor authentication can cause delays in deployment

This episode is brought to you by The Jed Mahonis Group, where we make sense of mobile app development with our non-technical approach to building custom mobile software solutions. Learn more at https://jmg.mn.
