Fit
When should you hire a dedicated iOS developer?
Hire a dedicated iOS developer when your iPhone or iPad app needs native performance and has to pass App Store review without repeated rejections. Apple's review rules, privacy labels and yearly iOS changes reward a developer who follows them all the time.
It also fits teams moving from UIKit to SwiftUI, or adding features such as widgets, Apple Pay or HealthKit. Those are areas where native experience saves weeks.

- Architecture: MVVM, Combine and async/await for apps that are easy to extend.
- Data: Core Data, SwiftData and offline-first sync with your backend.
- Apple frameworks: Push notifications, Apple Pay, widgets, HealthKit and more.
- App Store: Review guidelines, privacy labels, TestFlight and release management.
- Quality: XCTest, UI tests and crash monitoring after every release.
