Tools we use: React, Next.js, Node.js, Laravel, Python.

Skills

What a good iOS developer brings

Look for someone who can explain how the app will be built, tested and released, using examples from the screens and data your product actually needs.

  • Swift and interfacesThey write Swift and use SwiftUI, with UIKit experience for existing apps and complex screens.
  • Background workThey use async/await and actors to load data without freezing the interface or causing data races.
  • Structure and testsThey separate screens, business logic and networking, and test the logic with XCTest or Swift Testing.
  • Data and securityThey work with local storage and server sync, keeping passwords and tokens in the Keychain.
  • Performance and releaseThey use Instruments to investigate memory leaks, slow launches and battery drain. They also account for App Review rules, including in-app purchase for digital features.

Use cases

What you can hire iOS developers for

You might need an internal app for staff, distributed privately through Apple Business Manager and configured for your company’s device management. Or you might have an older app that needs crash fixes, updates for new iOS releases, or a move from Objective-C or UIKit towards Swift and SwiftUI.

Native iOS is a good fit when the iPhone experience is central, your product uses Apple-specific features, or performance in graphics, camera, audio or animation is a priority. Check the audience first. Separate native iOS and Android apps mean separate codebases; for a simpler app on both platforms, a cross-platform framework may suit. A responsive web app is also worth considering when the product is mainly forms and content.

How hiring works

How hiring works with us

You direct the work, and we help organise the development around your product and priorities. Choose the capacity that matches the work you have ready.

  1. 01

    Choose a plan

    We offer full-time, part-time or a fixed number of hours a month. A full ongoing backlog suits full time; maintenance or work in bursts can suit a smaller commitment.

  2. 02

    Set the working pattern

    Developers use your repository, tickets and stand-ups, with overlap hours agreed up front. A lead reviews code and keeps the work on track.

  3. 03

    Onboard

    We start with environment setup, a product and code walkthrough, and a small real task. Share your architecture, coding standards and release process, and record any gaps found.

  4. 04

    Arrange access

    Use individual accounts with the least permissions needed. Start in staging and add production access once the review process is in place.

  5. 05

    Keep control

    Put repositories, cloud accounts and third-party services under your organisation, and confirm intellectual property assignment in the contract.

Time zones

Working hours between Ireland and India

India is 5h30m ahead of Ireland, or 4h30m ahead during Irish summer time, from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. Agree a fixed overlap window for stand-ups and quick questions, and keep it clear of other meetings on both sides.

You work directly with developers through Slack, WhatsApp or email, with regular calls. Keep tickets useful between calls: add acceptance criteria, screenshots and links. Handover notes should record unfinished work, open questions and decisions so the next person online knows where to continue.

Rules

What your project in Ireland has to handle

If your app has an accompanying website that uses non-essential cookies, users need clear information and consent before those cookies are stored or accessed. We set up a consent banner for that choice. For an online service relying on consent to process a child’s personal data, children under 16 need a parent’s or guardian’s consent; we build the consent path into the service where it applies. We handle the design and development of those screens.

Vetting

How to judge an iOS developer before you commit

  • Ask when they would use SwiftUI or UIKit for your screens. Listen for a discussion of the oldest iOS version you need to support and any screens that are difficult to build in SwiftUI.
  • Install apps they have worked on from the App Store. Read reviews and check the update history for regular maintenance and crash complaints.
  • Ask about an App Store rejection they resolved. They should be able to name the guideline and explain the change they made.
  • If your app offers sign-up, ask how they would add account deletion. Apple requires users to be able to start deletion inside the app.

Checklist

What to have ready before developers start

Prepare enough detail for a developer to begin useful work and know how it will be approved.

  • Rank your backlog or write a first set of clear tasks.
  • Identify the skills and seniority needed, including experience with any existing system.
  • Name the person who will answer questions and share your working hours and overlap needs.
  • Define donespecify review rules, expected tests, deployment and approval.
  • Avoid hiring before tasks are ready. An empty backlog leaves a developer waiting or filling time with lower-value work.

Cost & time

What affects the cost of hiring iOS developers

The plan depends on the skills, availability and support your work requires.

  • Seniority

    Experienced developers cost more and need less supervision; junior developers need well-defined tasks and close review.

  • Commitment

    Full-time, part-time and set-hours plans involve different capacity, as does the notice needed to change the plan.

  • Overlap

    The amount of your working day a developer must cover shapes availability and how the plan is set up.

  • Specialist work

    Niche frameworks, legacy code and missing documentation narrow the available pool and slow onboarding.

Questions

Asked by businesses in Ireland

Page updated 5 November 2026

How much does it cost to hire an iOS developer?

There is no fixed price. The scope of interface updates, the reviews and tests required, and the capacity you need all shape the quote. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed, so prepare the screens and work you want covered before asking for one.

Should I hire directly or work with a studio?

Direct hiring gives you more control, while a studio usually takes on recruitment, payroll, equipment and cover for absence as you direct the work. Compare those responsibilities with the work you have ready and the control you want over the hiring process. Direct hiring takes longer to set up.

How can I hire remote developers for an existing team?

Start by sharing how your existing team works and the tasks you want the developers to take on. We fit into your repositories, tools and review process. Use a shared backlog that you control, and review its priorities with us regularly as the product changes.

What is included in the development plan?

The plan includes ongoing features, fixes and improvements across your website and apps. You also get regular progress updates and demos, with direct access to the team. Judge progress through merged pull requests, demos and shipped features, instead of counting meetings.

Who owns the code and product accounts?

You own your code, domain and content, with no lock-in. We provide an NDA and hand code ownership to you. Keep that ownership clear when agreeing the work, so your organisation retains control of the product and can continue developing it as your needs change.

Can the developers support the app after launch?

Yes. You can change the plan as your needs change, including scaling it up, down or pausing it. For releases, TestFlight is used for beta testing and App Store Connect for releases and analytics, giving you places to check the app before and after it reaches users.
