iOS app development expertise for product teams

Native iOS app delivery

Purrweb developers bring iOS app development experience with Swift and SwiftUI, while Objective-C expertise helps teams work with existing iOS code. The focus stays on iOS apps: their interfaces, performance, data handling, and fit with the product roadmap.

App Store release support

Store release work covers the practical steps between a completed build and a public listing. Our teams have helped prepare apps for App Store review, resolve review-related questions, and support releases across the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Product delivery context

An iOS engineer does not have to work in isolation. When the scope calls for it, design, backend, and QA specialists contribute around the mobile work, so the app connects with the rest of the product instead of becoming a separate track.

iOS technologies our developers work with

Native development

Swift • SwiftUI • Objective-C
Build new iOS features with current Apple frameworks while keeping existing code maintainable.

Quality and data

Xcode • Instruments • Combine • Core Data
Investigate performance, manage app data, and keep the app architecture maintainable as the codebase grows.

Platform capabilities and delivery

ARKit • Core ML • Fastlane • CI/CD
Use Apple platform features where they support the product and automate repeatable build and release work.

Choose the engagement model that fits the work

The right setup for hiring an iOS developer depends on the amount of iOS work, the product team already in place, and how much coordination the scope needs. We confirm the available model after reviewing the role and technical context.

How to hire iOS developers in five steps

Hiring starts with a clear role and ends with an engineer ready to join the product work. The process keeps technical requirements visible from the first call through onboarding.
1

Share the task context

Describe the product, the work ahead, the seniority needed, and the iOS stack already in use.
2

Have a 30-minute requirements call

We align on the role, technical priorities, working model, and interview process.
3

Review iOS developer candidates within 48 hours

You receive profiles of iOS developer candidates that match the agreed seniority and technical context.
4

Run interviews and an optional task

Your team can speak with candidates and use a focused task where it helps assess the fit.
5

Agree the start and onboarding plan

The selected engineer joins the product work with access, codebase context, and the delivery plan aligned before the first task.

How much does it cost to hire an iOS developer?

The rate depends on the length of the engagement. The table below uses the same mobile developer pricing structure as Purrweb outstaffing, with a $55 hourly starting rate and lower rates for longer work.
Engagement lengthHourly rateMonthly rate
Up to 3 months$55.00$9,075.00
Up to 6 months$53.35$8,802.75
After 6 months$51.70$8,530.50
The monthly rates are calculated from 165 billable hours. A 3% reduction applies after three months, and a 6% reduction applies after six months. For fixed-scope product budgets rather than specialist hiring, read how much iOS app development costs.

FAQ

How much does it cost to hire an iOS developer?

The rate depends on the engagement length. The starting rate is $55.00 per hour, or $9,075.00 per month based on 165 billable hours, for work up to three months. Longer engagements use reduced rates: $53.35 per hour up to six months and $51.70 per hour after six months. The final estimate depends on the role, seniority, and scope discussed during the requirements call.

How do I hire iOS developers?

Start by sharing the product context, the work ahead, the seniority you need, and the iOS stack already in place. In a 30-minute requirements call, we align on technical priorities and the working model. You receive candidate profiles within 48 hours, then run interviews and an optional task. After selection, the onboarding plan covers access, codebase context, and the first delivery steps.

What skills should I look for in an iOS developer?

Look for experience that matches the app rather than a generic technology checklist. Swift and SwiftUI matter for new native iOS development, while Objective-C can be relevant when an existing codebase uses it. Ask how the developer approaches performance checks, app data, and App Store releases. Xcode, Instruments, Combine, Core Data, and Apple platform frameworks help clarify whether the technical fit matches your product.

What are the different engagement models for hiring iOS developers?

The usual options are staff augmentation, a dedicated squad, and part-time or project-based work. Augmentation can suit an established product team that needs additional iOS capacity. A squad can combine engineering with QA and project coordination. A focused engagement can fit a defined task. The available model depends on the role, technical context, and amount of coordination required.

Should I hire a contract or full-time iOS developer?

The choice between a contract iOS developer and a full-time iOS developer depends on how long the work is expected to last, how established your product process is, and whether you need a specialist for one defined area or ongoing product work. A contract iOS developer can fit a time-bound scope or a temporary capacity gap. A full-time hire can make sense when iOS work is continuous and your team can support long-term onboarding and management.

Can I hire iOS developers for an existing app or short-term tasks?

Work on an existing iOS application or on short-term tasks can be discussed during the requirements call. For an existing iOS project, share the current stack, the codebase context, the task priority, and any constraints around access or releases. This makes it possible to assess whether focused iOS capacity is appropriate and what onboarding the work needs. The available engagement model is confirmed after the technical context and scope have been reviewed.

What if the iOS developer is not the right fit?

Agree the interview process, technical evaluation, working model, and expectations before work begins. An optional focused task can help your team assess the match before onboarding. This page does not state a replacement policy or specific terms for changing an engineer, so those conditions should be clarified in the engagement agreement before the work starts. Clear role requirements make fit easier to assess early.

Do your developers know App Store review guidelines well enough to avoid rejection?

App Store review cannot be guaranteed because Apple evaluates each submission against the product, metadata, privacy practices, and current guidelines. Purrweb teams have supported release preparation, review-related questions, and releases across the App Store and Google Play. Before an App Store submission, the work should include a check of the build, listing materials, privacy details, and any product-specific requirements that could affect review.
