SwiftUI is a newly released framework to help iOS developers build user interfaces across all Apple platforms with the power of Swift. SwiftUI has been launched at WWDC 2019 and has been increasing in popularity exponentially ever since. SwiftUI addresses the major pain points that iOS engineers were facing with building interfaces, and for these reasons, SwiftUI is the future of front-end development on iOS. We are making a quick introduction to SwiftUI to highlight its simplistic yet powerful paradigm.

Any business that is developing an e-commerce application will certainly consider Stripe when it comes to processing payments. Stripe provides an awesome library that instantly enables users to use their mobile phones for online payments. Stripe SDK has increased in popularity tremendously in the last 5 years, and it represents our preferred payment processor in our app templates. Integrating Stripe Firebase in iOS is extremely powerful, but quite challenging, which is the reason why we have written this tutorial.

Dating apps exploded in popularity in the last couple of years. Mobile startups like Tinder or Grindr created a revolution in online dating. They not only revolutionized the dating front, but they set new trends on the mobile design front, through UI features such as the well known Tinder Swipe. Mobile app development cost got much cheaper in the last years. In this article, we analyze how much does it cost to make an app like Tinder or Grindr. There are multiple approaches, so let’s jump right into it.

The App Store is a giant app market created by Apple. Every day, hundreds of iOS applications are being published to the App Store. To keep a high bar on the quality of mobile applications, Apple has a system in place to review iOS apps very carefully. In this article, we are publishing a Complete App Store Submission Checklist, that can be reviewed by entrepreneurs and developers, before submitting to the iOS App Store.

In the past two years, we’ve built more than 20 fully functional iOS Templates. As you can image, code reusability is one of the top priorities for us, when it comes to creating a Swift app. In order to reuse as much code as possible, we are focusing on modularizing our codebase as much as possible, by leveraging various design patterns, compatible with Swift. In this Swift tutorial, we are taking a look at the Facade Design Pattern. Let’s understand what it is, what kind of architectural approach it takes and let’s also see a code snippet implementing it in Swift.

In today’s article, we are taking a closer look at what reactive programming in Swift is all about and how we can use this design pattern in iOS apps by leveraging RxSwift. At Instamobile, we are building a ton of cool iOS apps, so we always consider using the most appropriate design patterns to build highly modularized iOS Starter Kits.

As the mobile industry continues to evolve, more and more entrepreneurs are looking to build their own iOS apps and publish them to the App Store. The technology has also evolved tremendously in the past few years, and there are various ways of making your app nowadays. In this article, we’re taking a stab at teaching you how to make an iOS app based on your budget.

There is some good news coming out from Q3 2018: the App Store generates almost double the revenue made by Google Play. Not only it makes more money, but the App Store revenue is also growing at a higher rate than Google Play’s generated income. This discovery is extremely important since it shows where the money really is for mobile developers and tech entrepreneurs.

There is no doubt that there are piles of money to be made in iOS app development. After all, Apple owned 15.2 percent of the global smartphone market last year. However, the worldwide popularity of the iPhone does not mean that an iOS app developer can simply do whatever he or she wants when creating iOS apps. iOS app developers must know these three pitfalls to avoid when trying to make money through iOS app development.

Many of our fully-coded iPhone app templates consist of a drawer menu navigation. This type of navigation usually is triggered by tapping on a menu button on the top left corner of the screen. Once clicked, the menu gets extended from the left side and takes over two-thirds of the screen. Here, the users can choose whatever option they want to navigate to. This type of app navigation is more popular in Android apps, but it gained some ground in the iOS realm as well, especially since concepts like Material design came out. People might also refer to this as hamburger menu navigation.
