Hire Swift iOS Developers for Native iPhone and iPad Applications

Our Swift developers build native iOS applications that take full advantage of Apple's platform: smooth animations, deep hardware integration, and the polish that App Store users expect. AI-assisted development means faster builds and fewer app rejection cycles.

iOS Development, Accelerated with AI

AI Assisted Swift Code Review

AI helps our engineers spot memory leaks, retain cycles, concurrency issues and deprecated APIs in Swift code before a senior developer reviews it.

UI and Accessibility Tests

AI drafts XCTest UI tests for different device sizes and iOS versions, including accessibility checks for contrast, Dynamic Type and element descriptions, and the engineer checks each test before it joins the suite.

App Store Readiness

Before you submit, AI helps our engineers check the app against the App Store Review Guidelines, including metadata, privacy declarations and other compliance requirements.

Routine SwiftUI Code

Claude Code drafts routine Swift code such as SwiftUI views, Codable models and view model scaffolding, and SwiftUI previews let the engineer check each UI change before it merges.

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, Apple Watch, HealthKit, HomeKit and Apple Pay integration. Deep platform features built directly on the native Apple frameworks.

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

Our hiring process has three stages, from the application screen to a project deep dive with background verification, and every new engineer then serves a probation period.

4 checks

Application screen

We source engineers across India through LinkedIn, Wellfound, employee referrals and outbound headhunting. Every application is checked for stack relevance, years of experience, English and time zone overlap before it moves to a technical interview.

60 to 90 min

Live coding and scenario questions

A live coding round of 60 to 90 minutes in the primary technology of the candidate, followed by scenario based questions on practical applications of that technology.

3 checks

Project deep dive and background verification

Candidates walk us through a recent production project, covering the architecture decisions and what they would change in hindsight. A third party background verification agency then confirms prior employment, education and identity.

Probation

A probation period follows

New engineers then serve a probation period, and those who do not meet our bar do not continue with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Rates run $25 to $50 an hour depending on seniority, and fixed scope projects have a $10,000 minimum. US specialists bill $150 to $300 per hour for comparable work. Apple bills the Apple Developer Program separately, at 99 USD per membership year or in local currency where available. Your cost also depends on how many screens and Apple frameworks the app needs, such as HealthKit or Apple Pay, and whether existing UIKit code has to move to SwiftUI.

How do I hire a dedicated Swift developer?

Share the iOS app you need built or maintained on a first call, and we shortlist vetted Swift developers who match it for you to interview. Vetted candidates are presented within a week, and onboarding completes in 7 to 14 business days. To speed up the match, tell us whether the product is already in production, the problems you face and what has been tried, the work needed and any regulation or process it must follow, and the features or bugs to fix, so we can match the experience the work needs. Once you choose a developer, add them to your team in App Store Connect with the Developer role so they can upload builds for TestFlight.

How do you vet your Swift iOS developers?

Our hiring process for Swift iOS developers includes a 60 to 90 minute live coding round in Swift, followed by scenario based questions on practical Swift applications on iOS such as SwiftUI and UIKit screens, Swift Concurrency and offline data with Core Data. Candidates who pass walk us through a recent production project and clear a third party background verification. New engineers then serve a probation period, and those who do not meet our bar do not continue with us. You interview shortlisted candidates yourself before anyone joins your team.

What engagement models do you offer for long term iOS work?

For long term iOS work, you can add a dedicated Swift developer to your own team, or choose a managed Swift iOS team with a tech lead who handles delivery against your requirements, which works as a long term partnership rather than staff augmentation. We offer fixed scope for proofs of concept and MVPs, then move to a retainer for ongoing work, so the engagement can scale with you. Retainers run for at least 3 months, then continue month to month with 30 days notice.

Should I hire a native Swift developer or a Flutter developer?

Do you support apps for iPad and Apple Watch as well?

Yes, our Swift developers build universal apps that adapt to iPhone and iPad screens with adaptive layouts, and Apple Watch apps as well. An Apple Watch app is a separate watchOS target, either watch only or paired with your iOS app, and our team has delivered Apple Watch work with HealthKit and HomeKit integration. We use the interaction patterns of each platform, so the app feels native on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
