iOS Rollout for a Commission-Free Food Ordering Platform

Feature-parity iOS launch path in 10 days without a second product rebuild

Client

Commission-Free Food Ordering Platform

Region

United Kingdom

Key Outcomes

10-day iOS rollout timelineFeature parity with AndroidValidated ordering, payment, login, location, and media flows

Business Challenge

The client's Android app had already proven a commission-free food ordering model, but iOS customers were unreachable. A full native rebuild would have duplicated cost and maintenance for a lean business whose value proposition depends on low overhead, while the launch still needed full parity across ordering, payments, accounts, and restaurant-facing flows.

Solution Overview

DIATOZ wrapped the existing web application in a native iOS container, preserving the core product while adding iOS-specific capabilities. The rollout covered Apple Developer setup, bundle IDs, certificates, provisioning profiles, Firebase integration, WebView navigation, camera and photo permissions, location access, background refresh behavior, safe-area and status-bar handling, app icon and splash branding, device screenshots, App Store metadata, privacy disclosures, and compliance readiness.
