# Hire a SwiftUI iOS and Mac app developer

Author: Muhammad Shahid, Senior AI Software Engineer & Backend Developer (https://shahid09.is-a.dev/)

iPhone, iPad and Mac apps built in SwiftUI and taken all the way through App Store review, with the backend and AI features behind them.

**Quick answer:** I build iPhone, iPad and Mac apps with SwiftUI. I designed, built and published 8 apps of my own on the App Store, including on-device OCR, offline apps, an AI resume builder and a puzzle game, and I build the Node.js backend behind an app too.

## What I build

- **iPhone and iPad apps:** Native SwiftUI apps designed for real users, from first screen to release.
- **Mac apps:** Desktop apps for macOS, like my OCR app Picture to Text.
- **App plus backend:** The SwiftUI app and the Node.js backend behind it, from one developer.
- **On-device AI and OCR:** Text recognition and AI features that run on the device, so data stays private.
- **Offline and privacy-first:** Apps that work without a connection or an account and keep data on the device.
- **App Store publishing:** Screenshots, metadata, review and release, done 8 times for my own apps.

## Results on real products

- **8 apps on the App Store:** 7 iPhone and iPad, 1 Mac — UK Test Prep, RoadTick, Resume Builder, SnapText, Picture to Text, Magnetic Blocks, Cheatly and Secret Codes, all designed, built and published by me.
- **UK Test Prep:** Offline exam app — 1,250 Life in the UK practice questions, 46 study note sections, 307 flashcards and a timed mock exam, all working fully offline.
- **Picture to Text (Mac):** On-device OCR — Drop in images or PDFs, or capture any part of the screen, and get editable text in 30+ languages without anything leaving the Mac.

## Tools I use

Swift, SwiftUI, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Vision OCR, On-device AI, App Store Connect, Node.js, MongoDB

## How a project works

1. **Scope call.** We talk through the goal, the current state of the product and what success looks like.
2. **Written plan.** You get fixed milestones, delivery dates and a clear price before any work starts.
3. **Build in small pieces.** I ship in small steps with regular progress updates, so you always see what is built.
4. **Tested delivery.** Delivery includes tests, documentation, handover and free support afterwards if something breaks.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you build my app from idea to the App Store?

Yes. Design, SwiftUI build, backend, testing, App Store review and release. My 8 App Store apps all went through that whole pipeline.

### Do you build the backend for the app too?

Yes. I build the Node.js backend behind an app, and I have built and scaled a mobile app backend to 1M+ users.

### Can you add AI features to an iPhone app?

Yes. SnapText and Picture to Text run text recognition on the device, and Resume Builder includes an AI assistant for resume text.

### Do you build Android apps?

I built and scaled the backend of CV Maker, an Android app with 1M+ users. My own apps are for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Send me the details of your Android project and I will tell you honestly whether it is a fit.

### Can you take over an existing iOS app?

Yes. I review the code, fix the urgent issues first, then improve it step by step while you keep shipping updates.

### Can you help the app get found?

Yes. Every one of my apps has ten guides on this site in four languages, with structured data and sitemaps so search engines and AI assistants can find them.

## Tell me what you want to build

Send the details on WhatsApp or by email: what you need, where the project is now, your deadline and budget range. You get a clear plan and price back, usually within 24 hours.
