You've never done iPhone development it seems where there's neverending new or deprecated versions of iOS and "kits". I've had clients that try this without a dedicated team, and each time was a nightmare for them(and hence us) where nobody remembered how anything was done

I have done iPhone development, and I can say with confidence that it is less work to take an iOS 17 app and update it to iOS 18 than it is to take nothing and create an iOS 18 app from scratch.

You still need a non-zero number of people who know how the iOS app works, but the number you need is smaller.
