Where Swift fits in a long-term product team.

Swift's compiler catches a category of defect that used to reach users. Optionals make "this might be nil" a fact the type system knows, and strict concurrency checking turns data races into build errors. The trade-off is that adopting strict concurrency on an existing codebase is disruptive, because it surfaces every undocumented threading assumption the original authors made.

Most production iOS codebases are mixed. Swift on top, Objective-C underneath in the parts that predate it, and an interop boundary that occasionally behaves in ways neither language alone would explain. Knowing where that boundary is matters more on a real estate than knowing the newest language feature.

What your dedicated team does with Swift.

iOS releases are gated by an external review process, which changes how a roadmap has to be planned. A build that misses a submission window does not slip by a day, it slips by the review cycle, and that rhythm only becomes predictable once a team has been through it repeatedly on the same app.

That predictability is one of the clearer arguments for a team that stays with your app. How the assigned specialists are held to a delivery rhythm is set out in how an assignment runs.

Common Swift use cases.

  • Adopting strict concurrency deliberately Migrating module by module, so threading assumptions surface as build errors on a planned schedule.
  • Maintaining a mixed Swift and Objective-C app Working across the interop boundary without a costly rewrite.
  • Platform features at the OS release Widgets, App Intents and system integrations built while they still set the app apart.

Adding Swift skills to your team.

Swift developers join through dedicated mobile development team capacity, because most roadmaps need both stores moving together.

Swift work is assigned to dedicated, full-time specialists who work remotely in your repositories and are managed by us. It is the model behind every offshore team at Azendo, and how companies hire software developers without running the recruiting themselves.

Tell us what your roadmap needs Swift for.

A service delivery manager will reply with the specialists we'd suggest, the monthly capacity and what the first month looks like.
