Hire iOS developers
Our senior iOS developers build native Swift and SwiftUI apps with AI tools and review everything those tools produce. They're tested on app lifecycle, offline state, App Store release discipline, real-device debugging and async/await concurrency.
01
SwiftUI previews pass, real devices fail
AI-generated SwiftUI looks correct in Xcode previews and breaks when lifecycle events hit a real device. Engineers need to catch that gap before a build reaches App Store review.
02
App Store releases make mistakes permanent
Phased releases mean a bad build sits on users' phones for days and a fix requires a full review cycle. Generated code that slips through review has a longer blast radius than a server-side change.
03
Concurrency is where generated code goes wrong
Async/await and actor isolation look straightforward in generated output and can hide subtle race conditions that only surface under real load. Engineers need to review that code more closely than anything else AI produces.
How we assess iOS developers
Every engineer works through a fundamentals assessment with AI tools switched off and a second assessment with their own agents running. For iOS developers, these criteria carry the most weight.
- AI output verification
The engineer reads generated SwiftUI and Swift concurrency code for lifecycle bugs and actor-isolation errors that previews won't surface.
- Debugging
They trace a real-device crash or UI regression through Instruments and Xcode without leaning on generated stack-trace summaries.
- Spec-driven development
They translate App Store submission requirements and phased-release constraints into acceptance criteria before writing or generating any code.

What is a mobile app?
A mobile app is software installed directly on a smartphone or tablet, distinct from browser-based web apps. This entry covers how they're built, distributed and categorised.
The impact of AI on mobile app development
AI changes what mobile teams ship and how they build it. This entry covers personalisation, security, coding agents and automated testing.
Pros and cons of React Native for mobile development
React Native lets you ship one codebase to iOS and Android, with trade-offs. This entry covers performance, cross-platform support, debugging and native API access.
Questions about hiring iOS developers
How senior are the iOS developers on your shortlist?
Every engineer has shipped production Swift apps through full App Store release cycles, including phased rollouts and rejection handling. They're comfortable with async/await, actors, offline state and real-device debugging, and they work without hand-holding.
How do you test iOS skills specifically?
Each engineer completes two sixty-minute assessments in a real codebase. The first covers Swift fundamentals, lifecycle behaviour and debugging with AI tools off. The second brings in their own agents, so you can see how they prompt, what they verify and where they push back on generated output. You get both scorecards.
How quickly can an iOS developer start?
You get a shortlist in five working days and can expect a first commit roughly three weeks after that. Engineers are available full-time, so there's no part-time scheduling to work around.
What does an iOS developer cost?
You pay a fixed monthly fee of €5,600 to €8,000 per full-time engineer, which you can compare with a local hire on our pricing page. There's no recruitment fee and the minimum engagement is three months. If the match isn't right, we replace the engineer at our cost.
Do iOS developers work in our tools and repositories?
Yes. They join your Xcode projects, Git workflow and any CI pipeline you use. They bring their own AI tools into that environment rather than asking you to change how your team works.
Get a shortlist within five working days
You share the roles and the stack in a short form or a thirty-minute call. Within five working days you get named senior engineers to review, each with both scorecards.
