BEFORE YOU HIRE
FAQs about hiring iOS developers in India
How much does it cost to hire an iOS app developer in India?
Our starting rate is US$10/hour for an iOS developer with 3 years of experience. QA/testing and taxes are included. The paid engagement covers 40 hours per week with a minimum commitment of 15 days. We confirm the developer, work and final rate in your written proposal.
Can I hire an iOS developer hourly, part-time or full-time?
The advertised offer uses hourly billing for a dedicated iOS developer working 40 hours per week, with a 15-day minimum commitment. If you need part-time support, a smaller task or a complete project team, request a separate proposal for that scope and schedule.
Do you offer a free trial for iOS developers?
Yes. Our 7-day free trial includes 20 working hours in total. Use the trial to review the developer’s work and communication on agreed iOS tasks. We confirm the tasks and trial schedule before you start. If you continue with the advertised paid offer, it covers 40 hours per week with a minimum commitment of 15 days.
How soon can an iOS developer start?
We confirm a start date after reviewing your requirements and developer availability. Share your app, priority tasks, preferred working hours and deadline so we can assess the fit and plan the first milestone.
Can I review developer profiles before I hire?
Yes. We share relevant profiles for a technical discussion before hiring. Review each developer’s project responsibilities, stack and release experience against your app’s requirements. The seven-day trial gives you 20 working hours to assess the agreed work and communication.
Can you fix or modernize my existing iPhone app?
Yes. We review your app and code before estimating the work. Tell us which crashes, slow screens, outdated integrations or compatibility issues you want to fix. We can also plan staged updates to an Objective-C or UIKit app.
Can you help with TestFlight and App Store submission?
Yes. Release support can cover test builds, TestFlight feedback, App Store Connect submission and replies to review feedback. Agree on these tasks in your project scope. Apple decides whether and when to approve an app; we cannot guarantee approval.
How will I communicate with my iOS developer?
Communicate with your developer in real time through DIET, Digittrix’s in-house app. Our team works from Mohali, India. We agree on overlapping working hours and a progress-review schedule before work starts. Share your time zone and preferred meeting hours so we can confirm a suitable arrangement.
Who owns the source code, and how do you protect my idea?
We use non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect confidential project information. We transfer ownership of your project’s source code after we complete the work and you approve it. Your agreement records account access, handover details and any third-party licenses.
Should I choose native iOS or cross-platform development?
Match the developer to your existing codebase and product needs. Use native iOS expertise for Swift or Objective-C apps and Apple-specific integrations. Consider React Native or Flutter when you need both Android and iOS. The MadamG and Amrutam projects on this page use React Native.
Should I hire a freelance iOS developer or a dedicated team?
Compare a freelance iOS developer with a dedicated team against your workload, review process and support needs. If you shortlist an Upwork iOS developer or another iOS freelancer, check who handles testing, releases, handover and ongoing fixes. Digittrix offers dedicated developers from India with QA included, direct communication through DIET and the hiring terms published on this page.
Can I hire iPad developers for an existing iPhone app?
Share your current app and the iPad workflows you want to add. We review layouts, navigation, device requirements and existing code before proposing the work. When you compare iPad app developers, ask for examples that show how they adapt the interface and test it on the devices you plan to support.
How do I find Swift developers for my existing app?
Start with your codebase, dependencies and next release goals. When you hire a Swift developer, review their own contribution to comparable work, then discuss SwiftUI or UIKit, debugging, tests and Xcode builds. If your app uses Objective-C or RxSwift, include that requirement in the brief so we can check the fit before proposing a developer.
Can I hire an iOS app designer as part of the project?
Include design in your project brief if you need help with user flows, wireframes or an iPhone and iPad interface. We confirm the design responsibilities and cost in your proposal. The advertised dedicated developer rate includes QA and taxes; design requires a separate scope.
How much notice do I need to cancel?
Give us 15 days’ notice to cancel your iOS developer engagement. Review the payment and handover terms in your agreement and our published refund policy before cancelling.
What if I am not satisfied with the developer’s work?
If you are not satisfied with the developer’s work, we will provide a replacement within 7 days. Share your concerns with our team so we can address the work and arrange the replacement.
Can you maintain the app after launch?
Yes. We provide 6 months of free technical support for bugs and issues in the work we deliver. The support period starts when the code transfers to you. We agree on support hours and response expectations in writing. New features and work outside the delivered scope require a separate agreement.
