What Does a iOS Developer Do?
An iOS developer creates apps for Apple's devices, primarily in Swift with frameworks like SwiftUI and UIKit. They design interfaces, integrate data and device features, and manage the App Store submission and review process.
iOS work is well suited to remote teams and often pays a premium, since Apple's platform tends to serve high-value users. A strong App Store portfolio is the best proof of skill.
