SwiftUI and UIKit together
New screens in SwiftUI, UIKit where it is still the better tool, and clean bridges between the two — no rewrite needed to start using SwiftUI.
Hire Swift and iOS developers · UK
Native iOS developers who write modern Swift, know where SwiftUI still needs UIKit, and plan around App Store review instead of discovering it.
Swift and iOS expertise
iOS engineers who know the current Apple frameworks as well as the UIKit and Objective-C code that established apps are built on.
New screens in SwiftUI, UIKit where it is still the better tool, and clean bridges between the two — no rewrite needed to start using SwiftUI.
Views, state and services kept apart, Swift Concurrency with async/await and actors, and Swift 6 data-race checking enabled where the codebase allows.
In-app purchase rules, in-app account deletion, privacy labels and privacy manifests handled before submission, not after a rejection.
HealthKit, MapKit, Apple Pay, StoreKit, Sign in with Apple and Core ML, each with the permission prompts and privacy wording it needs.
VoiceOver labels, Dynamic Type, strong contrast and reduced-motion support, checked with Accessibility Inspector and the settings real users switch on.
WidgetKit widgets, Live Activities, time-sensitive notifications and App Intents for Siri and Shortcuts — the surfaces that bring people back.
What they build
Native iOS work for UK apps that need to feel at home on iPhone — or are too established to rewrite.
Read and write steps, workouts or sleep with the user’s permission, and handle it as the special category health data UK GDPR says it is.
Tokenised Apple Pay checkout through your payment provider, plus Wallet passes for loyalty cards, tickets and vouchers.
MapKit routes, geofenced alerts and background location used sparingly, with battery life and Apple’s location rules in mind.
Apps built toward WCAG 2.2 AA and the UK public sector accessibility regulations, with an accessibility statement drafted for your review.
Migrate file by file through a bridging header, starting with the code that changes most, while the app keeps shipping updates.
Extend a successful iPhone app to iPad layouts, a watchOS companion or Home Screen widgets, sharing code through Swift packages.

How hiring works
The goal is not just to introduce a Swift and iOS developer — it is to make the first week useful and the work visible from then on.
We review your Swift and iOS goals, current stack, deadlines, risks, and success metrics before suggesting an engagement model.
Role and success criteria agreed
You get a clear Swift and iOS developer profile, relevant experience, availability, and estimated weekly capacity.
Developer profiles to review
We agree priorities, access, communication rhythm, delivery milestones, and code review expectations. Most engagements start within 5–7 working days of sign-off.
Access, rituals and first tickets
Every week you see working Swift and iOS progress, blockers, next steps, and measurable delivery against the plan.
Visible progress every week
Why Techsleight
What you can hold us to — and what happens if something is not working.
You see profiles and talk to the Swift and iOS developer before anything starts, and nobody joins your team without your say-so.
People who have shipped and supported real products — reviewed for code quality, testing habits and communication, not just a CV.
Your repositories, tickets, stand-ups and review rules. Daily written updates and a weekly demo keep the work visible.
Hourly, dedicated or project-based, with short notice periods. Scale up for a launch and back down after it.
Code, IP and documentation belong to you from day one. NDA before any detailed conversation, if you need one.
UK business hours, GBP pricing and a contract with a UK company. Our engineers are based in the UK and India.
Backend, QA, DevOps and design colleagues are there when the Swift and iOS work needs them — without you hiring for each role.
Relevant work
We do not have a published Swift and iOS case study yet — these show the kind of product work our engineers join.
All case studiesMobile-first money transfer and card app for a cross-border fintech.
Fitness app for workouts, nutrition logging and progress tracking.
Online pharmacy and lab-test booking app with prescriptions and delivery.
FAQs
Straight answers on scope, cost, timelines and how we work. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
Go native when the app leans on Apple-only features — HealthKit, widgets, Apple Watch, advanced camera work or AR — or when most of your customers are on iPhone. If you need Android too on a tight budget, React Native or Flutter is often the better call, and we will tell you so.
We build with Apple’s review guidelines in mind from the first sprint: in-app purchase rules for digital goods, in-app account deletion, accurate privacy labels and a working demo account for the reviewer. If an app is rejected, we read the guideline cited, fix or respond in App Store Connect, and resubmit.
Not in one go. SwiftUI and UIKit work side by side, so we build new screens in SwiftUI and convert old ones when they need significant change anyway. Complex, performance-sensitive screens can stay in UIKit indefinitely without holding the rest of the app back.
Swift and iOS developer rates at Techsleight Labs start from £23/hour for flexible work and from £3,300/month for dedicated monthly capacity. Fixed-price Swift and iOS projects are quoted after discovery, once scope, integrations, risks, and timeline are clear.
Most Swift and iOS engagements start within 5–7 working days of sign-off, and urgent work can sometimes start within 48–72 hours. For larger projects, we first confirm scope, architecture, milestones, and the right senior engineer fit before kickoff. We support UK teams with written updates, planned demos, and timezone-aware handover.
Yes. You can hire a single Swift and iOS developer, add a small pod with QA and DevOps, or ask us to manage the complete project. We match the model to your current team, delivery pressure, and budget.
Yes. Our hiring pages are built around senior production engineers, not junior bench resources. Every developer is reviewed for commercial project experience, communication quality, code quality, testing habits, and ability to work inside existing teams.
Yes. We often join existing Swift and iOS projects to fix performance, unblock releases, add features, improve test coverage, or modernise architecture. We start with a codebase review so the first sprint is practical rather than theoretical.
Tell us early. We will look at the cause with you — the brief, the onboarding or the match — and agree the next step together, such as more technical oversight, a different engagement model, or ending the engagement on the notice terms in your contract. The goal is a useful working relationship, not lock-in.
Yes. You own the code, documentation, infrastructure setup, and product IP created for your project. We can sign an NDA before discovery and work inside your repositories, cloud accounts, and project management tools.
