HIRE DEVELOPERS  /  IOS APP DEVELOPERS

iOS engineering

Native iOS appsthat Appleapproves first time.

We've shipped iOS apps to the App Store — including the Social iOS app, a Chromium-based mobile browser with smooth native feel and stable media rendering. Our iOS developers write Swift, know the Apple ecosystem inside out, and have navigated real App Store review cycles.

Why Entalogics

Why teams hire
iOS app developers from us.

Our iOS developers work with Swift and SwiftUI for modern apps, and UIKit for complex interfaces and existing codebases. They understand Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, App Store review requirements, and iOS-specific APIs — Core Data, Core Location, HealthKit, ARKit, Push Notifications via APNs, and in-app purchases via StoreKit.

EXPERT BENCH01

Expert iOS app developers, only.

Vetted for Apple platform depth — not just Swift syntax. SwiftUI and UIKit fluency, MVVM architecture, App Store submission experience, provisioning profile management, and real production debugging with Instruments. Every developer has shipped to the App Store.

FAST HIRING02

Fast hiring process.

iOS developers who can write Swift are common. iOS developers who've handled App Store rejections, privacy manifests, and StoreKit integration are not. We keep that second group on the bench — matched to your project in days.

FLEXIBLE ENGAGEMENT03

Flexible engagement.

Dedicated developer for a long-term iOS product. Part-time specialist for OS version updates and crash triage. Hourly consultant for an App Store rejection, performance audit, or Objective-C to Swift migration assessment. You choose.

Hiring model

Three ways
to staff your build.

iOS development is a closed ecosystem with strict rules. App Store rejections, memory management issues on older iPhones, Swift/Objective-C bugs on specific iOS versions, and Apple's constantly changing APIs are real problems our developers have dealt with on live products. You need someone who knows the platform from production experience — not just Xcode tutorials.

M01160h / mo

Full-time hiring

A dedicated iOS developer embedded in your team full-time — owning architecture, writing Swift, managing TestFlight, and handling App Store submissions. They follow your processes, join your standups, and own your iOS product. Best for teams building an iPhone or iPad app as a core product.

M0280h / mo

Part-time hiring

20 hours per week of focused iOS work. Ideal for teams maintaining a published app — handling annual iOS updates, fixing Crashlytics reports, adding features between major releases, or managing the App Store Connect listing.

M0340h blocks

Hourly hiring

Targeted iOS consulting — App Store rejection debugging, Instruments performance profiling, push notification architecture review, StoreKit integration, or Objective-C to Swift migration planning. Scoped, delivered, done.

Engagement models

Who runs
the project.

Pick the model that fits how your team builds iOS apps — or talk to us and we'll suggest the right one.

Stack & tooling

Technologies our
iOS app developers use competently.

Deep Apple ecosystem expertise. Here's what our iOS engineers work with daily.

Swift 6

Safe concurrency, Macros, and latest language affordances on current SDKs.

SwiftUI

Declarative interfaces and state-driven screens for new apps and flows.

UIKit

Mature layouts, coordinators, and AppKit bridging where SwiftUI stops.

Objective-C

Interop and phased migration paths for inherited enterprise codebases.

Combine

Reactive pipelines for networking, timers, and cross-layer state propagation.

Swift Concurrency

async/await structured tasks and actors for safe async UI-bound work.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Straight answers.

Six questions we get on every first call about hiring iOS app developers. If yours isn't here, we'll cover it first.

SwiftUI for new projects — it's faster to develop, declarative, and Apple's clear direction forward. UIKit when the existing codebase is UIKit-based, or when complex custom animations and layouts need the fine-grained control UIKit provides. Most production apps in 2026 use a mix of both, and our developers are fluent in each.
Yes. Our iOS developers integrate with REST APIs, GraphQL, Firebase, Supabase, and custom backends. We handle authentication flows, offline caching, and real-time sync. If your backend needs adjustments for mobile, we flag that in the RFC.
MVP in 8–12 weeks. Feature-complete v1 in 12–20 weeks. App Store review adds 1–2 weeks on first submission. Timeline depends on feature complexity, number of screens, and integration requirements.
Yes. App Store Connect setup, metadata, screenshots, privacy policy, App Privacy Nutrition Labels, and review guideline compliance. We've handled rejections and know the common causes — missing privacy manifests, unclear app purpose, and guideline 4.2 minimum functionality issues.
Yes. We typically target iOS 16+ for new apps, which covers 95%+ of active devices. For enterprise apps needing broader compatibility, we support iOS 15+ with conditional feature availability. We'll recommend the right minimum target based on your user base.
We handle it. Most rejections come from metadata issues, privacy disclosure gaps, or reviewer interpretation of guidelines. Our developers have been through real rejection cycles and know how to respond — usually resolved within 2–3 business days with a resubmission.
