Hire an iOS Developer who builds apps that feel native.
Give your iPhone app the attention it deserves. A pre-vetted iOS developer builds features in Swift, fixes crashes and ships releases from your repo.

Overview
What does an iOS Developer do?
iPhone users notice when something is off. A list that stutters, a screen that ignores Dynamic Type or a login that breaks after an iOS update shows up quickly in your App Store reviews, and Apple's yearly platform changes keep adding work to the queue.
A dedicated iOS developer owns that experience. They build interfaces in SwiftUI and maintain UIKit screens where they still make sense, handle concurrency with async/await, persist data with SwiftData or Core Data, and integrate push notifications, in-app purchases, HealthKit or Apple Pay when your product needs them. They also look after the less glamorous parts: provisioning, TestFlight builds and App Store review notes.
AssistHubPro matches you with iOS engineers who have passed a Swift interview and a practical build task. Your developer works in your Xcode project and repository, attends your sprint meetings and submits work for code review, with an Account Manager supporting the placement from day one.

Skills and stack
Native iPhone and iPad work, done in Swift.
The day-to-day work your developer owns, in the tools your team already uses.
- SwiftUI interfacesBuilds screens and reusable views in SwiftUI with previews, accessibility labels and Dynamic Type support.
- UIKit maintenanceMaintains and extends existing UIKit view controllers, Auto Layout and collection views.
- NetworkingConnects to your APIs with URLSession and async/await, handling errors, retries and token refresh.
- Local dataStores and syncs data with SwiftData, Core Data or CloudKit so the app works offline.
- Push notificationsImplements APNs, notification permissions and rich notifications that bring users back.
- In-app purchasesSets up StoreKit 2 subscriptions and purchases with receipt handling and restore flows.
- TestingWrites XCTest and Swift Testing unit tests plus XCUITest flows for critical paths.
- App Store releasesManages certificates, TestFlight distribution, metadata and responses to App Review.
Tools they already know

- Swift Package Manager
- Firebase Crashlytics
Your developer works in your repository, Apple Developer team and App Store Connect with a role scoped to the job. You own the app and its code, and access is removed when the placement ends.
Human vs AI
Why an iOS Developer beats AI on its own.
AI tools are quick at first drafts. A dedicated developer turns them into finished work you can trust, inside your business.

| Accountability | ||

The best of both. Your developer can use AI tools to draft, research and summarize faster, then checks every result before it reaches you or your clients.

FAQ
Hiring an iOS Developer: your questions.
Do your iOS developers use SwiftUI or UIKit?
Both. Most new work is in SwiftUI, and developers are comfortable maintaining UIKit code, which many established apps still depend on. Tell us your app's mix and minimum iOS version and we match to it.
Will they work in our sprints and code reviews?
Yes. They work from your backlog, join stand-ups and planning, and submit pull requests for review, reviewing teammates' code too.
How do working hours and time zones work?
You set the hours. We agree shared time for meetings and testing, and only put forward developers who can work that overlap.
How soon can an iOS developer start?
Interviews with pre-vetted candidates can happen within days of the free consultation. After you decide, we set up repository and Apple account access at kick-off so they can start immediately.
Do we own the code and the App Store listing?
Yes. The code is your intellectual property, and the app stays under your Apple Developer account throughout.
Can they take over an existing iOS app?
Yes. They get the project building with current Xcode, review crash reports and the riskiest code, and stabilise those before adding features.
Can we add Android or more iOS developers later?
Yes. Your Account Manager can add iOS, Android or cross-platform developers and testers, part-time or full-time.
What if the developer isn't a fit?
Talk to your Account Manager and we'll find another developer at no extra cost: a free rematch, no questions asked.
