Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Swift and Objective-C for iOS development?

Swift is a modern programming language developed by Apple for iOS development. It offers a clean syntax, safety features, and improved performance. Objective-C, on the other hand, is an older language that provides a lot of flexibility and is deeply integrated with iOS APIs. Swift is generally preferred for new projects due to its speed and ease of use, while Objective-C is often used in legacy projects.

What are the benefits of hiring a freelance iOS developer through Match.dev?

Hiring a freelance iOS developer through Match.dev offers several benefits: flexibility to hire on a project basis, access to a pool of highly skilled developers proficient in Swift and Objective-C, cost-effectiveness by saving on full-time hire expenses, and quality assurance through our rigorous vetting process.

What are the pros and cons of native iOS development vs cross-platform development?

Native iOS development offers high performance, access to the latest iOS features and APIs, and better integration with device hardware. However, it requires separate codebases for iOS and Android, increasing development time and cost. Cross-platform development allows for a single codebase to be used across multiple platforms, reducing development time and cost. However, it may have potential performance issues and limited access to platform-specific features.

What should I look for in an iOS developer’s portfolio?

When reviewing an iOS developer’s portfolio, consider their technical skills, project experience, UI/UX design abilities, code quality, and problem-solving capabilities. Look for proficiency in Swift and Objective-C, familiarity with iOS frameworks such as UIKit and Core Data, and experience with tools like Xcode and TestFlight. Check for examples of apps they have developed, preferably available on the App Store, and assess their ability to create intuitive and user-friendly interfaces.

Can I hire iOS app developers for both short-term and long-term projects?

The cost to hire an iOS developer through Match.dev varies based on the developer’s experience level, technical skills, and the complexity of your project. Typically, hourly rates range between $40 and $65. Discuss your budget during the discovery call, and we will match you with developers whose rates align with your financial plan.

How are you different from Upwork and other marketplaces?

We run a thoroughly vetted, closed network of engineers. Our vetting process ensures you are matched with senior engineers with strong technical and soft skills. Unlike other platforms, you don’t need to sift through dozens of profiles and conduct numerous interviews. We will match you with the best-fitting candidate in just a matter of days.

What is a cost to hire an iOS application developer with Match.dev?

No fees are required until you sign a digital contract with an engineer, and they begin working and tracking time on our platform. You only pay hourly for the time your developer bills.
