These are the pieces Apple reviews, customers notice, and most quotes leave out. ### App Store submission and review Listing copy, screenshots, privacy details, review notes, and every resubmission until it is approved. ### Sign in with Apple and Google Native sign-in, two-step sign-in, and in-app account deletion, which Apple requires. ### Data rules in the database Every record belongs to the right account, enforced by the database, not just the screen. ### Payments and access A purchase on Shopify or Stripe unlocks the right content in the app, automatically. ### Offline and sync Work saves on the device first and syncs across phone, tablet, and web. ### Native touches Camera and photo library, Face ID lock, deep links that open in the app, and Apple Pencil where it fits. ## How an app project runs From first conversation to the App Store. 1 ### Scope the first version We agree on what the app must do on day one, and what can wait. 2 ### Design and build Web and iOS built together, with a working build in your hands early. 3 ### Test and submit TestFlight testing, App Store listing, and review handled for you. 4 ### Launch and improve Ship, watch real usage, and release updates as your customers ask for more. ## App development FAQ ### Does Pinstripe build iOS apps for small businesses? Yes. Pinstripe Business Services designs, builds, and publishes iPhone and iPad apps for small businesses. Our live App Store apps include Simplyweds and BES Digital Planners. ### How much does it cost to build an app? Every app is quoted after a free consultation, because cost depends on what the first version has to do. We scope a version you can ship and grow, and you get the scope and price before any build starts. ### Will you handle App Store submission? Yes. We prepare the listing, screenshots, privacy details, and review notes, submit the app, and handle any questions or resubmissions from Apple's review team. ### Do I need a website and an app? Often not two separate products. We build the web app and the iOS app from one codebase, so your customers can use whichever they prefer and every update reaches both. ### Can my Shopify store unlock content in an app? Yes. BES Digital Planners does exactly this: a customer buys a planner on Shopify, signs in to the app with their order email, and their planners are there. ### Is an app the right choice for my business? Not always. If your customers need your product to keep working after the sale, such as saving, syncing, reminding, or checking in, an app can earn its keep. If not, a better website or automation may do more for less. We will tell you which in the first conversation. Not sure an app is the answer? Our [web design](https://pinstripeservices.com/services/web-design) and [automation](https://pinstripeservices.com/services/automation) work often solves the same problem for less. See [how we work](https://pinstripeservices.com/how-we-work). ## Let's build your app Tell us what you sell and what your customers keep asking for.
