Skills

What a good iOS developer brings

A developer needs to understand the code as well as the screen your customers see. We include reviews, tests and documentation to make future changes easier to manage.

  • InterfacesWrite Swift and build screens in SwiftUI, while understanding UIKit for existing apps and complex screens.
  • Structure and testingKeep screens, business logic and networking separate, and test the logic with XCTest or Swift Testing.
  • Data and securityStore app data with SwiftData, Core Data or SQLite, sync it with a server and keep passwords and tokens in the Keychain.
  • AccessibilitySupport Dynamic Type and VoiceOver labels, check contrast and dark mode, and adapt layouts to different screen sizes.
  • PerformanceUse Instruments to find memory leaks, slow launches and battery drain, then fix them before release.

Use cases

What you can hire iOS developers for

Native iOS is a good fit when the iPhone experience is central to your product, you need Apple-specific features, or performance in camera, audio, graphics or animation is a priority. Start with what your users need to do on the device.

You might need a booking, fitness, finance, media or shopping app for iPhone and iPad. An existing app may need crash fixes, updates for new iOS releases, or a move from Objective-C or UIKit to Swift and SwiftUI.

For staff, an internal or field app can be distributed privately through Apple Business Manager and configured for your device management. Customer-facing work might involve Apple Pay, HealthKit, widgets or Sign in with Apple.

How hiring works

How hiring works with us

You direct the work and talk to the people doing it. We offer full-time, part-time and fixed monthly-hours arrangements, with a lead who reviews code and keeps work on track.

  1. 01

    Priorities

    We keep a shared backlog that you control and review with us regularly.

  2. 02

    Integration

    Developers work in your repository, tickets and stand-ups. We fit into your existing tools and review process.

  3. 03

    Onboarding

    Set up the environment, walk through the product and codebase, and give the developer a small real task that touches the main parts of the system.

  4. 04

    Access

    Start with individual accounts and the permissions needed for staging. Add production access once the review process is in place.

  5. 05

    Progress

    We give regular updates and demos, so you can review the work directly with the team.

  6. 06

    Capacity

    You can scale the plan up or down, or pause it as your needs change.

Time zones

Working hours between the United Kingdom and India

India is 5h30m ahead of the United Kingdom, or 4h30m ahead during British Summer Time. We work remotely through video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. Agree an overlap window for stand-ups and quick questions, and keep it free of other meetings on both sides.

Written end-of-day updates let you catch up on progress, blockers and next steps. Tickets with acceptance criteria, screenshots and links reduce back-and-forth, while handover notes record unfinished work, open questions and decisions when the teams are rarely online together.

Rules

What a United Kingdom project needs to handle

If work involves access to personal data from India, agree the transfer arrangements before that access is provided. India is not covered by UK adequacy regulations; UK standard contract wording includes the International Data Transfer Agreement and the UK Addendum. We set up the agreed wording in the contract, and your organisation applies the relevant data protection test when using appropriate safeguards.

For an accompanying website using cookies solely for statistics or appearance preferences without consent, we set up clear information and an easy way for users to object.

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 SwiftUI handles poorly.
  • Install apps they have built. Read App Store reviews and check the update history for regular maintenance and crash complaints.
  • Ask about an App Store rejection. Look for the guideline involved and the specific change the developer made to resolve it.
  • Discuss account deletion. If your app offers account creation, ask how users would start deleting an account inside the app.

Checklist

What to have ready before developers start

A small amount of preparation gives a developer real work to pick up and clear ways to make decisions.

  • Rank the backlog and describe the tasks you want tackled first.
  • Share your working hours, the overlap you need and who will answer questions.
  • Write down your review rules, expected tests and how changes are deployed and approved.
  • Provide the architecture overview, coding standards, branching and release process, and instructions for running the project locally. Record any gaps found during onboarding.

Cost & time

What affects the cost of hiring iOS developers

The shape of the work and the support it needs determine the hiring plan.

  • Seniority

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

  • Working-hours overlap

    Covering more of your working day shapes who is available and how the plan is set up.

  • Specialist skills and codebase condition

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

  • Workload

    A full ongoing backlog suits a full-time arrangement; maintenance and work that comes in bursts can suit part-time or hour-based work.

Questions

Asked by businesses in United Kingdom

Page updated 5 November 2026

How much does it cost to hire a dedicated iOS developer?

There is no fixed price. The commitment you choose, the notice needed to change it, and the skills and seniority your work requires all affect the plan. Tell us about the app and the work you need done; we send a free quote once the scope is agreed.

Should I choose native iOS or a cross-platform app?

Choose based on your users and the work the app needs to do. Separate native iOS and Android apps mean separate codebases and often separate developers. If most users are on Android, or the product is mainly forms and content, a cross-platform app or responsive website could serve you better.

How do I hire a dedicated remote developer?

Prepare the work before the developer starts, then agree how you will review progress. A studio generally handles recruitment, payroll, equipment and cover for absence while you direct the work. Keep code review in place from the start, and judge progress through merged pull requests, demos and shipped features.

What support is included after launch?

We support ongoing development with features, fixes and improvements across your website and apps. Design support includes new pages, interface updates and design system work. You can change the capacity as your needs change, so the work can follow your current priorities.

Who owns the code and project accounts?

You own your code, content and domain, 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 before work begins.

How does App Store release work?

The release work includes preparing the app for App Review and using App Store Connect. For an app selling digital features, the design needs to account for in-app purchase. Apps and third-party SDKs also declare collected data and certain API uses in a privacy manifest, which feeds the app’s privacy details.
