UIKit specialists for your dedicated team.

Where UIKit fits in a long-term product team.

UIKit is where precision lives. Custom transitions, exact scroll behaviour, complex collection layouts and interactive gestures are all easier to get exactly right imperatively than declaratively, which is why even new applications end up with UIKit in the places where the interaction is the product.

The cost is volume. A screen that is thirty lines of SwiftUI may be two hundred of UIKit, and view controllers take on responsibility until they become the class everyone avoids opening. That is not inherent to the framework, but it is the direction UIKit code drifts without deliberate structure.

What your dedicated team does with UIKit.

The realistic position for most teams is both frameworks, indefinitely. That makes the useful skill knowing which to reach for, and a specialist who has only written one of them is a partial fit for a real estate.

Specialists who work across both come from deliberate training, which is what the Talent Success and Academy programme exists to produce.

Common UIKit use cases.

• Interaction that has to be exact Custom transitions and gesture handling where declarative abstractions get in the way.
• Large existing apps under active development Shipping features in the framework the codebase already uses.
• Hosting SwiftUI inside UIKit navigation New screens added declaratively without restructuring the navigation stack around them.

Adding UIKit skills to your team.

UIKit work sits with your dedicated mobile development team.

You can add UIKit capacity as one dedicated specialist or as part of a wider remote team, managed by a service delivery manager from our offices in Thailand. Companies hire dedicated developers this way under one agreement and one monthly fee.
