  • Contracts & IP

    NDA and code ownership handed to you.

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 is built as well as how it looks. Ask them to relate their choices to your existing code and the screens your users need.

  • Swift and interfacesWrite Swift and build screens in SwiftUI, with UIKit skills for existing apps and screens that need it.
  • Background workUse async/await and actors to load data without freezing the interface or introducing data races.
  • Structure and testsKeep screens, business logic and networking separate, and test logic with XCTest or Swift Testing.
  • Data and credentialsStore app data with SwiftData, Core Data or SQLite, sync it with a server, and keep tokens and passwords in the Keychain.
  • Release performanceUse Instruments to find memory leaks, slow launches and battery drain, then fix them before release.
  • App ReviewDesign for Apple’s rules, including in-app purchase for digital features and an experience that offers more than a repackaged website.

Use cases

What you can hire iOS developers for

You might need an existing app maintained: crashes fixed, older Objective-C or UIKit code moved towards Swift and SwiftUI, or the app adapted for newer iOS releases. You might also need Apple Pay, HealthKit, widgets or Sign in with Apple added to a product.

Native iOS is a good fit when the iPhone experience is central, Apple-specific features are part of the product, or demanding graphics, camera, audio or animation work needs high performance. For a simpler product that must run on iOS and Android, consider cross-platform development: separate native apps mean separate codebases and often separate developers. If most users are on Android, or the product is mainly forms and content, a responsive web app is also worth considering.

How hiring works

How hiring works with us

We provide developers who already work on our client projects, with a lead who reviews code and keeps the work on track. You choose the level of involvement that fits your backlog.

  1. 01

    Choose capacity

    Full time suits a full, ongoing backlog on a product. Part-time or hour-based work suits maintenance, a side project or requests that arrive in bursts.

  2. 02

    Agree the working setup

    Developers work in your repository, tickets and stand-ups. We agree overlap hours before work starts.

  3. 03

    Plan onboarding

    Start with environment setup, a walkthrough of the product and codebase, and a small real task that touches the main parts of the system.

  4. 04

    Set access

    Give each developer an individual account with only the permissions needed, beginning with staging. Add production access once the review process is in place.

  5. 05

    Share the technical context

    Provide the architecture overview, coding standards, branching and release process, and instructions for running the project locally. Record any gaps discovered during onboarding.

Time zones

Working hours between Saudi Arabia and India

IST is 2h30m ahead. Government ministries and financial institutions in Saudi Arabia work Sunday–Thursday, with Friday–Saturday as the weekend, so agree your team’s actual availability before setting recurring calls.

Keep an agreed overlap window free for stand-ups and quick questions. We communicate through Slack, WhatsApp or email, with regular calls and direct access to the developers doing the work. Outside the overlap, tickets with acceptance criteria, screenshots and links reduce back-and-forth. Handover notes should capture unfinished work, open questions and decisions for the next person online.

Rules

What an iOS project in Saudi Arabia has to handle

A booking or shopping business might need a customer app, while an organisation with field staff might need a privately distributed app connected to its device management. Decide which personal data each feature actually needs before granting access to it.

Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law also applies to processing personal data of residents by parties outside the Kingdom. For a proposed transfer abroad, the rules include conditions on purpose and protection, with exemptions. We set up data flows to limit the personal data transferred to what is needed, and plan access around the applicable transfer conditions. A risk assessment is required in specified cases, including continuous or widespread transfers of sensitive data.

Vetting

How to judge an iOS developer before you commit

  • Ask about SwiftUI and UIKit. A useful answer considers the oldest iOS version you need to support and any screens that SwiftUI handles poorly.
  • Install apps they have worked on. Read the reviews and check the update history for signs of regular maintenance and crash complaints.
  • Discuss an App Store rejection. Ask which guideline was involved and what change resolved it; the answer gives you a view of their release experience.
  • Ask how they would add account deletion. If your app offers account creation, Apple requires users to be able to start deletion inside the app.

Checklist

What to have ready before developers start

A little preparation gives the developer real work to start and gives you a way to review it.

  • A ranked backlog, or an initial set of tasks described clearly enough to begin.
  • The skills and seniority you need, including any specific framework or legacy-system experience.
  • Your working hours, the overlap you need and the person who will answer developer questions.
  • A definition of done covering review rules, expected tests, deployment and approval.

Cost & time

What affects the cost of hiring iOS developers

The scope of work and the support needed around it shape the engagement.

  • Seniority

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

  • Specialist skills and code condition

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

  • Management

    The work involved changes when a lead plans work and reviews code instead of your team managing the developer directly.

  • Capacity

    A plan that scales up or down lets you adjust the level of development support as your needs change.

Questions

Asked by businesses in Saudi Arabia

Page updated 5 November 2026

How much does it cost to hire an iOS developer?

There is no fixed price. The commitment you choose and the review, testing and documentation needed for the work affect the scope. We offer full-time, part-time and fixed-hours arrangements; agree how much notice you need to change the commitment when discussing the plan.

How do I hire a dedicated remote development team?

Start with a backlog you can prioritise and a clear way to review progress. We review priorities with you regularly and provide demos and direct access to the team. If you have developers already, we fit into your repositories, tools and review process.

Can I change or pause the hiring plan?

Yes. You can scale the plan up, scale it down or pause it as your needs change. Agree the commitment and notice needed for changes when setting up the engagement, so the plan reflects how your workload is likely to arrive.

Who owns the code and project accounts?

You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in. We provide an NDA and hand code ownership to you. Keep repositories, cloud accounts and third-party services under your organisation, and confirm the assignment of intellectual property in the contract.

Can developers help after the app launches?

Yes. Ongoing development covers features, fixes and improvements across your apps and website. For release work, tools such as TestFlight and App Store Connect support beta testing and releases, while Xcode Cloud, Fastlane or a CI service can automate builds and releases.

How should we check progress without adding more meetings?

Use merged pull requests, demos and shipped features as your measures. Keep code review in place from the start: early reviews establish standards and catch misunderstandings while they are cheaper to fix. Individual accounts also make access easier to audit and remove when someone leaves.
