The cost of developing an app, be it for iPhone, Android, Windows Phone or some other ecosystem, cannot be base lined to definitive figure. The average cost of app development has been estimated at somewhere in the neighbourhood of 4500 Pounds in UK. In addition app owners need to consider the post launch support and maintenance cost of the app in business plans. As number of app users base increase there is a cost involved in capacity expansion and also new features add on to keep the existing users engaged.
Total cost = Design of APP (UX) + App development and testing + Backend server & database solution + Maintenance cost.
Unfortunately, that value may vary because there are far more low-end apps than there are high-end apps. How much development costs will come down to how complicated an app will be, how many custom features will be included, what ecosystems the app will need to run on, and so forth.
