EXPERT BENCH01
iOS developers, vetted for depth.
SwiftUI and UIKit, MVVM, provisioning profiles and signing, and debugging real performance problems with Instruments. We check for Apple platform experience, not just whether someone can write Swift.
HIRE DEVELOPERS / IOS APP DEVELOPERS
Hire iOS appdevelopers,on your team.
Senior iOS engineers who join your team, write Swift and SwiftUI in your Xcode project and your CI, sit in your standups, and already know what gets a build rejected before Apple tells you. Sociall, the iOS app on our portfolio, went through real App Store review. That's the bar we hire to.

Why EntalogicsWhy teams hire
Why teams hire
iOS app developers from us.
Swift and SwiftUI for new work, UIKit for complex interfaces and older codebases. Then everything beyond the language: Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, App Store review requirements, and the platform APIs an iOS engineer has to already know, like Core Data, Core Location, HealthKit, ARKit, APNs, and StoreKit.
FAST HIRING02
The hard part starts after it builds.
Plenty of people write Swift. Far fewer have handled an App Store rejection, a privacy manifest requirement, or a StoreKit integration properly. Those are the people we keep on the bench, and we can match one to your project within days.
FLEXIBLE ENGAGEMENT03
As much engineer as you need.
A full-time iOS developer for a product that's the business. A part-time one for OS updates and crash triage. A few hours for an App Store rejection or an architecture review. You tell us which, and we size it that way.
Receipts, not adjectives.

Hiring modelThree ways
Three ways
to staff your iOS build.
Billed per engineer, per month, or in a 40-hour block, with the rate quoted on the first call. App Store rejections, memory pressure on older iPhones, bugs that only show up on one iOS version, Apple's shifting APIs. iOS is a closed system with strict rules, and experience with those rules is what we screen for.
M01160h / mo
Full-time hiring
One iOS developer working full-time inside your team, owning the architecture and the Swift code through TestFlight and App Store submission. The right fit when an iPhone or iPad app is a core product.
Contact us for pricingM0280h / mo
Part-time hiring
Twenty hours a week. Enough for the yearly iOS update, Crashlytics reports, features between big releases, and keeping the App Store Connect listing current.
Contact us for pricingM0340h blocks
Hourly hiring
For a defined piece of work. An App Store rejection, a performance profile in Instruments, a review of how push notifications are wired, a StoreKit integration, or a plan to move Objective-C code to Swift.

01
Entalogics managed team
We run the whole thing: architecture, Swift development, testing on real devices, TestFlight distribution, and App Store submission. You review a build every week and steer the product.
- PM + senior iOS devs on staff
- We own the release pipeline
- TestFlight builds every Friday
02MOST COMMON
Client managed team
Your product lead sets the direction. Our iOS developer joins your Slack, your Jira, and your standups, writes the Swift, and handles submissions. You direct.
- Embedded in your Slack & Linear
- Reports into your product lead
- Same hiring bar — you direct
03
Hybrid model
Your team keeps the backend and the product direction. We take the SwiftUI interfaces, native integrations, device testing, and App Store compliance.
- Specialists from us, generalists from you
- Shared standups + design reviews
- Clear DRI per platform
Stack & toolingThe stack our iOS
The stack our iOS
application development team ships with.
Apple's ecosystem, end to end. This is what an iOS engineer here works in every day.
Swift 6
Safe concurrency, Macros, and the 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
Still a real, current skill for maintaining and extending inherited enterprise codebases, not just legacy interop.
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.

Dani Keo
Project Manager, Sociall
Entalogics built our iOS Chromium-based mobile app with a smooth native feel, stable media rendering, and reliable sync. We shipped faster and improved engagement after launch.
Evan Kanouse
CEO, Modestly
Entalogics has successfully delivered extension prototypes on time, and we are impressed with their project management and the finished product. The client communicates with Entalogics via virtual meetings, email, and messaging apps.
Adam Strock
Founder, Flourish Schools
Collaborating with Entalogics was a great experience. Communication was clear, we aligned quickly, and their team delivered high-quality code on time with thoughtful technical decisions.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
What iOS hiring managers ask us first. If yours isn't here, ask it on the call.
Everyone does a coding test and a system-design interview and walks us through something they've shipped. Then the iOS-specific part: SwiftUI and UIKit, MVVM, provisioning profiles and signing, using Instruments to find real performance problems, and knowing what gets a build rejected at App Store review. Being fluent in Swift gets you into the interview. It doesn't get you through it.
Both, in practice. SwiftUI is faster to build with and it's where Apple is heading, so new screens go there. UIKit stays wherever the existing codebase is UIKit or a complex custom animation needs finer control. Most production apps mix the two, and the engineer you get moves between them without needing a rewrite.
Yes. REST, GraphQL, Firebase, Supabase, or a custom backend, including authentication, offline caching, and real-time sync. If your backend needs changes to work well on mobile, the engineer will raise it in the first review rather than quietly working around it.
Three to five business days from a signed contract to a first day in your Xcode project is typical. Across the engagements we've staffed, the first pull request is usually up for review about two weeks after kickoff.
Each iOS engineer is billed monthly: 160 hours for full-time, 80 for part-time. Short pieces of work run in 40-hour blocks. There's no project estimate. It's a monthly rate, and we quote it on the call.
Yes, and it gets handled. Most rejections come down to metadata, privacy disclosures, or how a reviewer read a guideline. Our developers have been through real rejection cycles and usually resolve one with a resubmission within two or three business days. It doesn't become something you have to chase.
Three months minimum on full-time and part-time seats, none on hourly. In the first two weeks, a replacement is free and immediate from the same bench. After that, it's 30 days' notice to swap or stop.
