Ways to Hire iOS Developers
Three engagement models, one vetting standard. Choose based on how much native iOS development capacity your app actually needs.
Dedicated iOS Developer
One developer, full time, embedded in your mobile team.
Your repositories, standups, roadmap, and release cycle. Best for building or steadily extending a native iOS app with new features, iOS updates, performance work, and ongoing App Store releases.
See monthly rates →Hourly iOS Engagement
Senior iOS help for a defined problem.
Fix a release-only crash, resolve an App Store blocker, add a native Apple feature, upgrade an older Swift codebase, or take over an app that needs focused technical work.
See hourly rates →iOS + Backend Team
An iOS developer working alongside a backend developer under one technical lead.
Best when the Swift app and its APIs need to move together, such as authentication, payments, media, real-time features, or a new mobile product with backend work still underway.
Talk through team sizing →The iOS Work We Take On
Native iOS makes sense when the product depends on Apple-specific capabilities, top-end performance, or an experience designed specifically for iPhone and iPad. We focus on the cases where native development earns its extra cost.
Swift & SwiftUI App Development
Build new iOS applications in Swift, using SwiftUI where it fits and UIKit where the product or existing codebase requires it. The goal is a native app that follows Apple platform conventions instead of fighting them.
Get consultationApp Store Releases & Upgrades
Handle TestFlight builds, signing, provisioning, App Store submissions, review issues, and iOS version upgrades as part of the development workflow, not as separate release-day problems.
Leave a requestApple Platform Features
Build features that depend on native Apple capabilities such as widgets, Live Activities, App Intents, Siri integrations, background tasks, and deeper system APIs where cross-platform frameworks can become limiting.
Order an estimateWhen React Native Is the Better Choice
If the app is mainly forms, feeds, content, and standard product interactions, and you need Android too, React Native may be the more efficient option because one codebase can serve both platforms. We will recommend native only when the product actually benefits from it.
View Our PortfolioHow We Vet iOS Developers
Four stages before anyone appears in a profile we send you. You see evidence of real native iOS work before deciding whether they join your team.
App Store Experience Review
We screen for shipped iPhone or iPad apps, not tutorial projects. Candidates need evidence of production Swift work, released apps, version history, and ongoing mobile ownership.
Technical Screen
A live session covering the areas that matter in real iOS development: Swift, concurrency, SwiftUI and UIKit judgment, memory and lifecycle, offline behavior, data sync, and App Store release discipline.
Live Coding With a Lead
The candidate builds or fixes a feature inside an existing iOS codebase while one of our technical leads reviews their approach. We look at how they navigate unfamiliar architecture, manage state, and work within an existing app, not just whether the code compiles.
Paid iOS Test Project
A scoped, paid assignment reviewed for architecture, code quality, test coverage, error handling, release readiness, and PR discipline. Only developers who clear this stage are matched.
Hire an iOS Developer in 4 Steps
From requirements call to first commit, with your total time about one hour. For specialist iOS roles, we confirm the exact matching timeline on the first call.
Requirements Call
Tell us what app you are building, your current iOS versions, native features, backend setup, and preferred start date. You speak with a technical lead, not a sales layer. An NDA can be signed before any product or codebase details are shared.
Review Your Matched iOS Developer
We source and vet a developer against your requirements, then send you their profile with shipped apps, Swift experience, stack history, and code samples. If the match is not right, we rematch you before anything is signed.
Developer Starts in Your Repo
Your developer joins your repositories, standups, issue tracker, Xcode setup, and release workflow. Contract and IP assignment are signed before the first commit.
Ship and Scale
Continue feature development, prepare App Store releases, or scale the engagement down with 30 days notice and no exit fee. If the developer is not the right fit, we replace them within 5 business days at no additional cost.
What You See Before Your iOS Developer Starts
Every match comes with a profile pack focused on real native iOS delivery before you decide whether the developer joins your team.
iOS Developer Profile Pack
Generated by Xpertz Vetting Team1. Shipped App Experience
See the iPhone and iPad apps they have worked on, their role in each product, and the release responsibility they handled. The summary is prepared by the technical lead who vetted them.
2. Swift & iOS Stack History
Review the Swift versions, SwiftUI and UIKit experience, Apple frameworks, APIs, and iOS tooling they have used in production and for how long.
3. Native Code Samples
Review recent code that shows how they structure screens, manage state, handle concurrency, work with Apple APIs, and maintain an existing iOS architecture.
4. Communication Check
See their English proficiency and confirmed working-hour overlap with your timezone before the engagement starts.
Not the right match after reviewing? We rematch you before anything is signed.

What Working With Your iOS Developer Looks Like
Your developer works inside the Apple ecosystem you already control, from Xcode and TestFlight to signing, releases, and the existing app architecture.
Your Apple Account Stays Yours
Certificates, signing keys, App Store Connect, and app listings remain in your account. You control access and can revoke it whenever needed.
Existing Architecture Comes First
SwiftUI, UIKit, navigation, persistence, and project conventions are reviewed before changes are proposed. A takeover does not mean an automatic rewrite.
TestFlight Fits Your Release Plan
Internal builds, beta testing, review cycles, and release candidates are planned around your existing release calendar.
App Store Issues Are Part of the Job
Signing problems, provisioning issues, review feedback, and rejected submissions are handled as part of delivery rather than treated as separate work.
Native Code Remains Yours
Swift code, Apple integrations, tests, build configuration, and documentation belong to you. IP assignment is documented before the first commit.
Scale Without Losing Continuity
Review the developer before starting, request a rematch if needed, or get a replacement within 5 business days. Monthly engagements can end with 30 days notice.

iOS is treated as a specialist match. We confirm the profile and start timeline during the requirements call based on your Swift stack, Apple-platform requirements, seniority, and availability needs.
Yes. You review their shipped-app experience, Swift and iOS stack history, code samples, and communication details before approving the engagement. If the match is not right, we rematch you before signing.
Yes. Matches can be screened for modern Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, concurrency, and the Apple frameworks your application requires. If your codebase includes older Objective-C components, mention that during the requirements call so it can be included in the match criteria.
Choose native iOS when the product relies heavily on Apple-specific features, deep system integrations, top-end performance, or an iPhone-first experience. React Native is often more efficient when the product also needs Android and most functionality can live in one cross-platform codebase.
Yes. The developer can assess an existing Swift or UIKit codebase, continue feature development, resolve technical debt, upgrade older dependencies, or stabilize an app left by a previous team before proposing larger changes.
Yes. iOS work can include signing, provisioning, TestFlight builds, App Store submissions, review feedback, and release preparation. Your Apple Developer account and App Store listing remain under your ownership.
Yes. The app can integrate with your existing APIs, authentication, WebSockets, media services, and other backend systems. If backend development is also needed, the iOS developer can be paired with a Node.js backend engineer.
You do. Swift code, tests, build configuration, documentation, certificates, and App Store assets remain yours. IP assignment for work produced during the engagement is documented in writing before the first commit.
You approve the developer before they start. If the initial match is not right, we rematch you. If the fit does not work after the engagement begins, we replace the developer within 5 business days at no additional cost.
