What does a iOS developer do?

An iOS developer builds native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch using Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit. Strong iOS engineers understand the Apple HIG, manage state with Combine or async/await, optimise for battery and memory, and ship through Xcode Cloud or Fastlane to App Store Connect.

Why iOS is a strong choice for modern engineering teams

•iOS users spend meaningfully more per app than other platforms — native quality pays off commercially.
•SwiftUI has matured into a credible default for new apps, with UIKit still dominant for complex views.
•Strict App Store review enforces quality — native iOS apps tend to feel tighter than cross-platform.
•Swift's safety features (optionals, value types, Sendable) prevent whole classes of production bugs.
•Tight integration with Apple hardware — ARKit, CoreML, HealthKit — opens capabilities cross-platform can't reach.

Skills to look for when you hire iOS developers

Modern Swift

async/await, actors, Sendable, result builders, generics.

SwiftUI + UIKit

Knows when each fits; comfortable bridging between them.

Architecture

MVVM, TCA, or Clean; knows how to keep view code thin and testable.

Persistence & networking

URLSession, Combine, Core Data or SwiftData, Keychain.

Performance

Instruments profiling, memory leaks, launch time, and scroll performance.

Testing

XCTest, snapshot tests, UI tests with XCUITest.

App Store delivery

Signing, provisioning, TestFlight, phased rollout, privacy manifests.

Platform features

Widgets, push notifications, App Clips, background tasks.

Interview questions to ask iOS developers

Walk me through an iOS app you've shipped. Architecture, team size?
When would you reach for SwiftUI vs UIKit in a new screen?
Explain Swift actors and where you'd use them.
How do you handle background tasks and persistent connections on iOS?
How do you instrument an app to find scroll performance issues?
What's your approach to dependency injection in Swift?
How do you design networking — URLSession directly, or a layer on top?
How do you handle state restoration and deep linking?
Describe a tough App Review rejection and what you changed.
How do you keep an iOS codebase testable as it grows past ten engineers?

Frequently asked questions

Do you support GDPR and EU data-residency requirements?▾

Yes. We work under GDPR-compliant contracts with clauses for EU data residency where required. Each engagement is assessed against the client's data-processing needs before onboarding.

How fast can I hire a iOS developer through SquadXP?▾

You'll get the first pre-vetted candidate CV within 24 hours of the intake call. Most clients finalise a iOS hire within 48 hours and onboard within the same week.

What if the first hire doesn't work out?▾

You have a 7-day replacement window, no questions asked. We'll start sending replacements the moment you flag it — no invoices, no friction.

Can I hire iOS developers across US, UK and EU timezones?▾

Yes. Our network spans multiple regions, so we can match any timezone overlap requirement — from full US hours to split UK/EU coverage.

Is this contract, full-time, or project-based?▾

All three. We support short-term projects, long-term contracts, and contract-to-hire. Most clients start with a 3-month engagement and extend.

Do you handle payroll, compliance, and NDAs?▾

Yes. SquadXP handles contracts, NDAs, payroll, tax compliance, and invoicing. You get a single monthly invoice and don't have to manage any local entity.

How do you protect IP and sensitive data?▾

Standard NDAs are in place before any candidate sees your brief. We follow NDA, HIPAA-aligned, and ISO 27001 processes. All engineers work on dedicated, encrypted machines.

Can SquadXP build a full iOS team, not just one hire?▾

Yes. If you need a team (iOS engineers + supporting roles like DevOps or QA), we source as a unit, including a team lead, and onboard them together.

Do your iOS developers know SwiftUI and modern concurrency?▾

Yes. Our iOS bench works in modern Swift with async/await and SwiftUI on production apps. Tell us the screens you need and we'll match.

Can you provide iOS + Android native pairs?▾

Yes. We can source a native-pair team or cross-platform Flutter/React Native if that fits better.
