iOS Development, Accelerated with AI
AI-Assisted Swift Code Review
AI reviews Swift code for memory leaks, retain cycles, concurrency issues, and API deprecations, catching platform-specific problems that generic tools miss.
Automated UI & Accessibility Testing
AI generates XCTest UI tests across device sizes and iOS versions, including VoiceOver accessibility checks that Apple reviewers evaluate during submission.
App Store Readiness
AI audits your app against Apple's submission guidelines, checking metadata, privacy declarations, and compliance requirements before you submit to review.
Faster Development with SwiftUI
AI-accelerated SwiftUI development with preview-driven iteration means UI components are built and refined in hours, not days.
What Our Swift iOS Developers Build
Native iPhone & iPad Apps
Full-featured iOS applications with platform-native navigation, gestures, and visual design. Adaptive layouts for all iPhone and iPad screen sizes.
SwiftUI & UIKit Development
Modern SwiftUI interfaces for new projects, UIKit expertise for legacy apps, and hybrid approaches that combine both frameworks effectively.
Apple Ecosystem Integration
iCloud sync, HealthKit, HomeKit, ARKit, Core ML, and Apple Pay integration. Deep platform features that cross-platform tools cannot access.
Offline-First & Core Data
Applications that work reliably without network connectivity. Core Data and CloudKit for local persistence with seamless cloud synchronization.
App Store Optimization
Metadata optimization, screenshot design guidance, and release management through App Store Connect for maximum visibility and downloads.
iOS App Maintenance
Ongoing support including iOS version compatibility updates, performance optimization, crash resolution, and feature enhancements.
VETTING PIPELINE
How engineers earn a spot on our team
Every engineer goes through the same four-stage funnel. Most do not make it past stage two.
30,000+
Applications received each year
Around 15 open roles at any time, each receiving roughly 200 applications per month through LinkedIn, AngelList, employee referrals, and outbound headhunting across India. India produces 1.5 million CS graduates a year, so sourcing is not the moat. Filtering is. Most applications are auto-filtered for stack relevance, years of experience, English, and time-zone overlap before any human reviews them.
5%
Pass live coding + system design
Two-stage technical interview: a 90-minute live coding exercise tailored to the candidate's primary stack, then a system-design discussion grounded in real production scenarios.
2%
Pass project deep-dive + background verification
We ask candidates to walk through a recent production project: architecture decisions, what they would change in hindsight. We also run a background verification check through a third-party BGV agency to confirm prior employment, education, and identity.
1.2%
Complete 2-week shadow onboarding
A senior Unico Connect engineer shadows new hires for two weeks on an internal project. We watch how they respond to feedback, ask for help, and ship code. Fast learners stay.
