What to look for in a iOS Development freelancer
A strong iOS developer should understand Apple's frameworks and the App Store review process, not just how to lay out a screen. Look for:
- Real Swift and SwiftUI depth, plus enough UIKit to maintain older code.
- Apps actually shipped to the App Store, with links you can download and try.
- Comfort with Apple's guidelines: review rules, privacy prompts, and sign-in requirements.
- Solid handling of concurrency and networking: async/await, background tasks, and offline states.
- A feel for Apple's design language, so the app looks native rather than ported.
Ask for a TestFlight build or an App Store link and open it on a real device. Ten minutes of tapping tells you more than a resume.
