TL;DR: Hire senior iOS developers in Southeast Asia for $2,800–$6,500/mo. Save up to 75% vs US salaries. Pre-vetted Swift, SwiftUI, and Combine talent in 24 hours.

Why Companies Are Hiring iOS Developers Remotely

iOS is still the highest-revenue mobile platform — Apple's App Store generates more revenue than Google Play despite fewer users. Senior US iOS engineers average $135,000–$170,000 per year. Southeast Asian iOS talent delivers the same Swift and SwiftUI depth at $2,800–$6,500 per month, with shortlists in 24 hours.

We worked with a US-based health app that needed a senior iOS engineer with HealthKit and CoreML experience. Through Second Talent they hired in four days. The new HealthKit integration shipped two months later, increasing daily active users 47%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an iOS developer do?
An iOS developer builds native applications for iPhone and iPad using Swift and SwiftUI (or older Objective-C codebases). They handle UI, API integration, push notifications, and App Store submissions.
How fast can I hire one?
Pre-vetted profiles within 24 hours, hire within 3–7 days.
How much does it cost?
Senior iOS developers range from $2,800–$6,500/month. Mid-level: $2,200–$3,500.
Should I hire a native iOS dev or use Flutter/React Native?
Native Swift gives maximum performance, ARKit/CoreML/HealthKit access, and the smoothest UX. Cross-platform Flutter or React Native is faster to ship for both platforms but trades off some native polish.
Can they handle App Store releases?
Yes. App Store Connect, code signing, TestFlight, App Store Optimization, and rejection responses are all standard skills for senior iOS engineers in our network.
