Why Claude for this
App Store rejections are usually avoidable and always expensive, a week each, at the worst possible moment. We build to current guidelines and handle the submission, including the privacy disclosures that catch most first-timers.
Claude is strongest at sustained reasoning over long documents, careful tool use, and a low rate of confident errors. For ios app development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: for very high-volume classification or extraction, a smaller model is cheaper at indistinguishable quality. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions
How long does App Store review take?
Usually 24 to 48 hours currently, though it varies. The bigger risk is rejection rather than queue time, which is why we build to the guidelines rather than discovering them at submission.
Do we need an Apple developer account?
Yes, an organisation account, which requires a D-U-N-S number. We will walk your team through it. It takes longer than people expect, so we start it early.
Should we build iOS or Android first?
Depends on your users. For consumer India, Android reaches more people; for premium or B2B audiences, iOS frequently converts better. We look at your actual analytics before advising.
