Hire Swift Developer — native Apple apps done right
Native Swift apps win where platform feel matters: SwiftUI interfaces with buttery animations, background modes that survive review, and App Store submissions without the rejection dance. I architect with MVVM or TCA, wire Combine or async/await cleanly, and ship via TestFlight with Fastlane automation. macOS, watchOS, and visionOS targets reuse the same Swift core.
I'm Omer Muneer Qazi, a Dubai-based Fractional CTO & Solutions Architect with 15+ years of experience and 100+ projects delivered across 6 countries. For Android alongside iOS, you can also hire Kotlin developer capacity, or see the full bench.
Native Apple apps, from SwiftUI to App Store
iOS apps (SwiftUI/UIKit)
Native iPhone and iPad apps in SwiftUI with UIKit bridges where needed. Navigation, deep links, and state restoration are built in; animations stay at 60fps on supported devices.
macOS & watchOS targets
Mac Catalyst or native AppKit companions and watchOS apps sharing your Swift core. One codebase, platform-appropriate UI — each target reviewed against Apple's human interface guidelines.
Architecture (MVVM/TCA)
Clean MVVM or The Composable Architecture with unidirectional data flow and testable reducers. Dependencies inject cleanly; business logic stays strictly out of views and fully unit-tested.
App Store pipeline
Fastlane-driven builds, TestFlight distribution, and App Store Connect submissions with metadata automation. Privacy manifests, review notes, and rejection responses handled for you, including expedited review requests when launch dates demand it.
Backend & push integration
APNs push with token-based auth, CloudKit or custom backend sync, and Sign in with Apple wired correctly. Background fetch and silent pushes are tuned for battery and review compliance.
Performance & accessibility
Instruments-driven profiling for launch time, memory, and hangs; VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support verified on device. Accessibility isn't a checkbox — it's part of the definition of done.
From scope to App Store in TestFlight cycles
A structured engagement with no surprises — you’ll always know what’s happening and what’s next.
App scope & UX review
We map screens, Apple-framework dependencies, and review risks before coding. You get a milestone plan aligned to TestFlight builds, not vague phases.
Iterative TestFlight builds
Weekly TestFlight builds with release notes your stakeholders can actually test. Feedback lands in the next sprint; regressions get caught before they reach reviewers.
Polish & review prep
HIG audit, privacy manifest checks, and rejection-risk review of every entitlement. The submission package is prepared so first-pass approval is the norm.
Launch & iteration
Phased App Store rollout with crash and rating monitoring. Post-launch sprints prioritize from real user behavior and store review feedback.
Why hire a Swift developer through a fractional CTO
Apple platforms punish shortcuts: rejected binaries, battery-draining background modes, layouts that break on Dynamic Type. I've cleared App Store review enough times to know which entitlements raise flags and which architectures survive OS updates — plus the discipline to keep Swift strict and tested.
I work in your repo with weekly TestFlight demos and document decisions as ADRs. Expect candid calls on scope versus review risk. Contact me to scope your Apple-platform build.
Frequently asked questions
SwiftUI or UIKit for a new app?
SwiftUI for new apps targeting iOS 16+, with UIKit bridges for complex components like maps or rich text. Pure UIKit only makes sense when supporting much older OS versions.
How do you avoid App Store rejections?
By designing for the guidelines: correct entitlements, privacy manifests, and honest metadata. I pre-audit every submission against common rejection patterns and handle reviewer responses myself directly.
Can you add an iOS app to our existing backend?
Yes — I integrate with REST, gRPC, or GraphQL APIs and handle auth, offline sync, and push. If your API needs mobile-friendly shaping, I flag it early with concrete endpoint proposals.
Do you support macOS or watchOS too?
Yes — shared Swift packages let Mac, watch, and visionOS targets reuse your core logic. Each platform gets a native UI following Apple's human interface guidelines, not a stretched iPhone layout.
How do we start?
Send your requirements through the contact page for a scoped proposal. Discovery covers your target devices, OS minimums, and backend — then you get a milestone plan before any commitment.
