What are the key skills an iOS developer should have?
An iOS developer should know Swift and Objective-C. They also need to understand the basics of Apple's design principles and interface guidelines. They should be able to test, debug, and deploy apps efficiently.
How can I verify that the iOS developer has relevant experience?
Look for a portfolio with examples of iOS apps they have developed. Check the reviews or ratings from previous clients they have worked with. You can also ask for any certifications related to iOS development.
What platforms should I expect an iOS developer to use?
Expect them to use Xcode for coding, as it's the main tool for iOS development. They may also use Git for version control. Familiarity with Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines is important.
What should be included in the project's deliverables?
Deliverables should include the fully functional app, source code, and documentation. The app should be able to run smoothly on iOS devices. There should also be user testing and bug-reporting records.
How can I ensure clear communication with the iOS developer?
Set clear expectations for how often you will communicate. Use project management tools that both you and the developer are comfortable with. Make sure to discuss which time zones you'll be working in.
What should I do before the iOS developer starts the project?
Have a clear idea of what you want the app to do. Prepare any necessary design files or asset resources. Make sure the project timeline and milestones are agreed upon.
How do I set realistic deadlines for an iOS project?
Understand the scope of the project and discuss it with the developer. Break the project into smaller phases and set deadlines for each. Make room for testing and unexpected delays.
What is a good way to handle updates or changes during development?
Set a process for reviewing requested changes. Regular updates and feedback loops can keep everything on track. Decide how any extra work will be prioritized and delivered.
How do I make sure the iOS app meets quality standards before launch?
Make sure the app goes through rigorous testing, such as unit tests and user testing. Check for performance and security issues. Ensure compliance with App Store guidelines for a smoother submission process.
