What an iOS Developer does on a mobile development team.

Skills and scope are agreed before delivery starts, so the first sprint is productive rather than a ramp-up month. The work runs to the same backlog, the same repositories and the same definition of done as your own team's.

iOS Developer skills and technology we assign for

  • Swift
  • SwiftUI
  • UIKit
  • Combine
  • Xcode
  • Swift Package Manager
  • Core Data
  • XCTest
  • TestFlight
  • App Store Connect
  • Feature development in Swift, in your existing app rather than a greenfield rebuild.

  • Migrating UIKit screens to SwiftUI incrementally, which is where most mature iOS codebases sit today.

  • App Store submission, provisioning, and the review rejections that follow a privacy manifest change.

  • Instruments profiling for memory and energy, which App Store reviewers increasingly care about.

  • Maintaining widget, watch and extension targets where the app has them.

Seniority levels we assign.

Junior through principal. Senior matters most where the app has a large UIKit estate being migrated. Seniority is one of the inputs behind the committed monthly capacity written into your agreement.

When an iOS Developer is the right assignment.

Most often assigned to apps already in the store with an active release cadence. On an ongoing roadmap this role is most often assigned alongside an Android Developer or a React Native Developer. All 4 roles in this service line can sit on the same agreement, and capacity moves between them at the monthly cycle rather than requiring a new contract. The work is delivered as part of mobile development at Azendo.

Questions about assigning an iOS Developer.

Can you take over an existing iOS app?

That is the common case. We start by reading the codebase and the crash reports before proposing anything.

Who handles App Store submissions?

We can, under your developer account, or we prepare the build and your team submits. Either arrangement works.
