In short

An iOS Engineer (Swift) builds native iPhone and iPad apps where security, polish and platform fidelity matter most. Remote Pro Ai deploys vetted iOS engineers within 4 working days. They build in SwiftUI with async/await, protect sessions with Face ID, Keychain and App Attest, and integrate Apple Pay, Wallet and national-ID login such as Nafath or UAE Pass.

Your iOS Engineer builds with Swift, SwiftUI and Combine / async-await, and integrates Nafath / UAE Pass, Apple Pay and Wallet. Typical stack: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Xcode and XCTest.

Why teams are hiring this role now

Apple’s privacy manifests and required-reason API rules now block App Store submissions that do not declare data use precisely, and banking regulators expect device-integrity checks such as App Attest. Security-critical apps need engineers who know these rules from shipping experience, not from documentation read the week before review.

iOS Engineer hiring FAQ

Self-serve bookings receive a shortlist within 48 hours and enterprise requests get named candidates within 72 hours. After you approve a profile and sign, your specialist is working within 4 working days, whether the request is on the bench, off-bench or on-site. When fewer than 5 iOS Engineer profiles are on the bench, we shortlist from the wider vetted network in the same 48 hours.

Pricing is quotation-based and depends on level, hours and any on-site, clearance or data-residency needs. Current bands: Mid from USD 4,450/month · Senior from USD 5,850/month · Lead from USD 7,600/month. VAT is shown separately, quotes can be viewed in SAR, AED, USD or EUR, and every quotation is valid for 30 days. The Squad Builder shows your quote instantly.

Remote Pro Ai is contractually responsible for quality. Raise it at any time: a replacement starts within 4 working days; the full handover completes in under 14 days. Your first engagement also begins with a no-bill trial, one per company: 5 working days on self-serve bookings and 10 on enterprise contracts.

This role is offered at Mid, Senior and Lead level. We never place junior profiles. A practice lead confirms each specialist’s level through a live technical assessment and reference checks, so the band on your quotation reflects scope the person has already delivered rather than a job title on a CV.

Choose native when the app depends on deep platform features: Apple Pay and Wallet passes, App Attest, CryptoKit, widgets, Live Activities or premium animation. Banks and government services often go native for clarity in security reviews. Cross-platform Flutter suits apps where feature parity and one codebase matter more.

Yes. They prepare privacy manifests and required-reason declarations, keep privacy nutrition labels accurate, and manage TestFlight, phased releases and review responses. When a submission is rejected, they read the cited guideline, fix or appeal with evidence, and record the outcome so the next release avoids the same issue.

Usually both. Engineers add new screens in SwiftUI while keeping stable UIKit flows, bridging through UIHostingController so you avoid a risky rewrite. High-change areas move to SwiftUI first. Security-sensitive components, such as PIN entry and secure text fields, get extra review during any migration step.

Engineers store secrets in the Keychain with access-control flags, bind sessions to Face ID or Touch ID, verify device integrity with App Attest and pin certificates for critical endpoints. They detect jailbreak indicators without locking out legitimate users, and support penetration testers with threat models and dedicated test builds.
