What a Remote iOS Developer Handles

iOS developers who build and maintain your iPhone app, from new SwiftUI screens to the networking, media, and release work behind them.

Features, built.

Your developer builds new screens and flows in Swift, SwiftUI and UIKit from your designs and backlog.

Backend, connected.

REST APIs and WebSocket connections keep the app in sync with your backend, with errors and offline states handled.

Media, handled.

Camera, video and audio features are built with AVFoundation and tuned on real devices.

Code, structured.

Features follow MVVM and are covered by tests, so the next developer can read and extend them.

Builds, prepared.

Builds go to TestFlight testers and App Store review with release notes for each version.

Crashes, fixed.

Crash reports and tester feedback are reproduced, fixed and verified before the next release.
