8 common iOS app development mistakes to avoid
This article will discuss eight common iOS app development mistakes and how to avoid them.
Could your company realize customer or employee success through a mobile app?
Web development
We build complex projects from the ground up, with a proven track record of delivering successful web-based software products, alongside entire web infrastructures for mobile applications.
What we do
Front-end
React
We favor React for front-end development. It’s very fast for developing, has great performance and offers a wide range of reusable components.
Angular
Angular is another we’re very familiar with, and a particularly good choice if you’re aiming to build a Software as a Service (SaaS) product.
Back-end
Python
A robust back-end foundation, designed around your business goals, is vital. Our go-to framework is either Flask or Django in Python, with the former offering more flexibility, while the latter speeds up development so you can ship quicker.
NodeJS
Another option is NodeJS. Increasingly popular, with a great active community for open-source frameworks, and it plays nicely with ReactNative, meaning an entire codebase in javascript.
Why it works so well
A reliable and scalable team
We deliver what we promise. The team can scale when needed so you can get to market
quickly, while ensuring your product meets customer demand.
Focused on security
Avoiding security issues upfront can save development time and ensures a better product. Don’t just rely on external security scans – choose a team that takes it seriously.
Pixel-perfect design implementation
Our front-end engineers are obsessive about matching final approved designs to the pixel. We always work mobile-first for both web and apps, making sure performance is a top priority.
Front-end and back-end specialists
It’s important for these two teams to be distinct so they can choose the right tools for their specialism and develop tailored best practice. Always collaborating with continuous communication.
Continuous Integration & Deployment
We store our code on Bitbucket and use their pipelines to trigger our code quality checks and run tests.
Focus on testing
The most successful teams are those who truly understand the importance of quality assurance (QA), so ours are tightly integrated with the QA team, collaborating daily.
Cloud-connected
We aim to run all our infrastructure in the cloud, maximizing automation by taking advantage of Amazon Web Services and Heroku.
Infrastructure as code
We use Terraform so we can quickly and predictably create new environments and change existing ones, making projects more robust, reducing human error.
Our Work
We’ve loved working with many fantastic companies, and are really proud of what we’ve achieved together.

Still unsure about something?
Don’t worry, whatever it is, we’ve got you covered in our FAQ.
Yes. In today’s environment, being agile is one of the most important things. Being agile doesn’t mean a lack of processes, but rather the opposite. Having good efficient processes and a strong working methodology helps us to be agile and at the same time organized and predictable.

We like to automate everything to reduce human error whenever possible. Being able to implement sustainable continuous integration workflow is very important so we can deliver new versions regularly and often, ensuring there’s no regression and everything works as intended.
We have written multiple articles about this topic available to read here:
Our developers’ knowledge is at an advanced level. By working with a lot of teams on many different projects, we have got to know the widest variety of architectures and have seen the majority of patterns.
This means stepping in and getting familiar with your existing project won’t pose a problem.
We have also been engaged in some big carrier-grade projects for Tier-1 telecom operators and mobile banking solutions where we had to refactor the codebase and still keep the product free of regressions.
We are used to working with big brands such as Metaswitch (a Microsoft company), Royal Caribbean, AT&T and Asseco SEE, so we understand what high-quality and carrier grade deliverables mean.
We even developed our own software product (www.shakebugs.com) that helps big companies in their mobile development process.
