Hire Objective-C Developers
Expand your engineering capacity with experienced Objective-C specialists who possess deep familiarity with mature iOS and macOS codebases. Our Objective-C practitioners maintain, enhance, and evolve legacy applications while preserving system stability and performance characteristics.
We operate across time zones compatible with North American working hours and adhere to contemporary iOS development standards: Objective-C runtime mechanics, memory lifecycle management, UIKit frameworks, Core Data persistence, and App Store submission best practices. Whether you're supporting legacy systems or orchestrating an incremental Swift adoption strategy, we enable forward progress without disrupting current operations.
- Avg. 38% drop in crash rate within the first two release cycles we support.
- US-based product owners get 4+ hours of daily overlap with our nearshore engineers.
- Security first: dependency audits, certificate management, and compliance-ready deliverables.
Objective-C Engineering Augmentation Offerings
Increase engineering capacity without compromising velocity. We integrate Objective-C specialists who work collaboratively each day with your product management, design, and server-side engineering teams.
- Immediate access to Objective-C practitioners (iOS/macOS) with UIKit framework mastery, Core Data persistence expertise, memory lifecycle management, and runtime mechanics understanding
- Legacy system support: defect resolution, performance tuning, iOS SDK migration support, and cross-version compatibility enhancements
- Codebase enhancement: evolving Objective-C implementations, architectural improvements, and technical debt reduction initiatives
- Swift transition assistance: incremental migration strategy development, bridging header implementation, and language interoperability patterns
- Quality assurance: unit/integration/user interface testing, continuous integration/deployment pipelines, peer code review, TestFlight distribution, and App Store submission compliance
- Product-oriented thinking: forward-looking recommendations, performance enhancement opportunities, and practical architectural compromises
Objective-C without the rewrite tax
Your Objective-C implementation probably drives mission-critical business processes. Our engineering specialists acknowledge this operational context and concentrate on gradual enhancements that maintain current user satisfaction while positioning the codebase for future evolution.
We balance modernization initiatives with operational stability: incorporating Swift components when appropriate, enhancing memory lifecycle management, and replacing fragile legacy library dependencies. Product stakeholders maintain visibility through weekly deployment summaries and analytics dashboards that document modifications and their rationale.
- Bridging headers that allow new Swift modules to coexist with Objective-C safely. Need more Swift firepower? We also staff senior Swift developers who collaborate seamlessly.
- Dependency management with CocoaPods, Swift Package Manager, and Carthage to ensure reproducible builds.
- Automated validation for App Store and enterprise distributions, including provisioning profile rotation and notarization.
- Security hardening: Keychain audits, certificate pinning, and compliance-ready documentation.
Objective-C staff augmentation case study
Client: North American logistics platform handling 120k daily deliveries.
Initial challenge: Crash rate above 5%, releases blocked by code signing issues, and no roadmap for Swift adoption.
Team: 2 Objective-C seniors, 1 mobile QA automation engineer, product designer shared by client.
- Weeks 1-3: Stabilized CI, mapped critical flows, and introduced crash analytics dashboards with Sentry and Firebase Crashlytics.
- Weeks 4-8: Refactored networking layer using NSURLSession, reduced legacy singletons, and added XCTests covering invoice reconciliation flow.
- Weeks 9-12: Delivered Swift-based reporting module interoperating via bridging headers, cutting build times by 22%.
- Result: Crash-free sessions improved to 99.2%, App Store approvals landed in under 24 hours, and CSAT increased by 11 points.
Ready for a similar outcome? We can schedule a discovery session within 48 hours to review architecture, code quality, and staffing options tailored to your release cadence.
