We are looking for a dependable iOS Developer for long-term, part-time collaboration on an existing application under active development and enhancement. We are not building a new application from scratch. The goal is to maintain, improve, and continuously evolve an established product. We value code quality, proper testing, ownership, communication, and reliable delivery**. --- ## PROJECT STATUS --- The project is already well established: • Existing iOS application • Existing PHP backend • MySQL database • Development, Staging, and Production environments • CI/CD pipeline with automatic deployment • Git-based development workflow --- ## TECH STACK --- • iOS Development — Primary • PHP Backend (Yii2) — Basic familiarity is a plus • MySQL • Linux Server Environment • Git / GitHub • CI/CD --- ## RESPONSIBILITIES --- • Handle ongoing development and maintenance tasks. • Implement new features and business requirements. • Investigate and fix bugs. • Investigate API and backend integration issues when needed. • Occasionally make small PHP/backend changes if required. • Work safely within an existing codebase without introducing regressions. • Maintain overall system stability and code quality. --- ## WORK SCHEDULE --- • Part-time, task-based collaboration. • Work is assigned in batches rather than fixed weekly hours. • Each batch will have an agreed delivery timeline based on its scope and complexity. • No fixed daily working hours are required. However, developers are expected to be reasonably available for communication, discussions, and task follow-up during five working days per week. • In rare cases, urgent production issues may require reasonable availability outside the normal schedule. ### Consistent Progress We expect consistent progress throughout each assignment. For small to medium-sized tasks, developers should generally be able to deliver completed work within approximately **48 hours**, unless otherwise agreed based on the scope or complexity of the task. If a blocker or unexpected issue occurs, it should be communicated early rather than waiting until the delivery deadline. --- ## REQUIREMENTS --- • Strong experience with iOS development. • Comfortable working with and understanding existing codebases. • Experience with Git branches and Pull Requests. • Able to investigate technical issues independently. • Good understanding of API integrations. • Good English communication skills for technical discussions. • Basic PHP/Yii2 knowledge is a plus. --- ## DEVELOPMENT & QUALITY EXPECTATIONS --- • Investigate the root cause before implementing a fix whenever possible. • Deliver clean, maintainable, and well-structured code. • Every submitted task must be fully tested before delivery. • Testing should cover both the implemented feature and related user flows to ensure existing functionality is not affected. • Avoid unnecessary changes outside the assigned scope. • Large, architectural, or potentially risky changes must be discussed before implementation. • Follow the project's existing Git and Pull Request workflow. • Communicate blockers, technical concerns, or unclear requirements early. • Respect agreed delivery timelines and take ownership of assigned work. **Quality and stability are more important than simply closing tasks quickly.** --- ## PAYMENT --- • Payment is based on the agreed scope of each assigned batch of tasks. • Scope, payment, and delivery timeline will be agreed before each batch begins. • Regular task batches typically range from **$50–$300 USD per batch**, depending on scope and complexity. • Payment will be processed after the assigned batch successfully passes QA validation against the agreed requirements. • If part of an assigned batch is not completed within the agreed timeline, payment may be adjusted based on the unfinished scope. --- ## INITIAL TRIAL — $20 --- The initial **$20 project value covers the entire trial phase**, consisting of **two assigned tasks**. The purpose of the trial is to evaluate: • Code quality • Problem-solving approach • Ability to work with an existing codebase • Testing quality • Communication • Git / Pull Request workflow • Reliability and delivery The trial is not based only on whether the tasks work. We will also review the implementation and overall development approach. Developers who successfully complete the trial will be considered for ongoing task batches under the regular payment structure described above. --- ## WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR --- We are looking for developers who take ownership of their work and genuinely care about delivering stable, production-ready features. This opportunity is best suited for someone interested in **long-term collaboration**, rather than completing a single project and moving on. If you enjoy improving existing systems, investigating real-world problems, and maintaining high-quality software over time, we would be happy to hear from you. --- ## TO APPLY --- Please include: • Your iOS development experience. • Links to apps you have worked on (App Store or GitHub, if available). • Your current availability. • Whether you have any PHP/Yii2 experience. • A brief explanation of how you normally investigate and fix a bug in an unfamiliar existing iOS codebase. **Please start your proposal with the word "Tamam" so we know you have read the full project description.** Generic or copy-pasted proposals that do not address the requirements above may not be considered.

Tamam — I have 10+ years of software development experience and have delivered 249+ projects, including native iOS apps with Swift, React Native, API integrations, testing, Git workflows, and CI/CD. I can share relevant App Store/GitHub work samples through Freelancer. Your established iOS product, PHP/Yii2 backend, MySQL database, separate Development/Staging/Production environments, and automatic deployment pipeline are exactly the kind of system I can maintain carefully over the long term. I’m available part-time across five working days and can usually complete small-to-medium batches within the requested 48-hour target, while reporting blockers early. For an unfamiliar bug, I first reproduce it on the appropriate environment, trace the affected user flow through logs, API responses, and existing iOS code, then identify the root cause before changing anything. I implement the smallest safe fix, test the reported case plus related flows, verify API/backend behavior when relevant, and submit a focused Git branch and Pull Request for review. I also have PHP and MySQL experience and can handle small Yii2 changes when needed. I’m ready to begin with the two-task trial and follow your QA and delivery process. For the trial tasks, will access to the existing repository and staging environment be available from the start? Muhammad Saad

Tamam Your existing iOS application needs a dependable long-term developer who can maintain the codebase, investigate issues properly, deliver tested enhancements, and protect overall stability. * Which iOS technologies and minimum version does the current application use? * Can you share the typical size of a regular task batch? * Is the development environment already documented for new developers? Experience includes working on existing applications, API integrations, bug fixing, Git workflows, and production releases. When entering an unfamiliar codebase, the first step is to reproduce the issue, trace the related flow and API calls, identify the root cause, implement a focused fix, and test both the fix and affected user flows before submitting a Pull Request. Basic PHP, MySQL, and backend integration experience is also available, making it easier to investigate issues across the application and API when needed. Clear communication, early reporting of blockers, clean code, and reliable delivery within agreed timelines will always be priorities. I am interested in long-term collaboration and would be happy to complete the trial tasks and demonstrate my approach. Let us connect in chat and discuss the first two tasks. Best regards Farhin B

Tamam. Built and maintained iOS apps with Objective-C/Swift, integrated REST APIs, and debugged complex flows in large existing codebases. I’ll pull the repo, reproduce issues locally, run Instruments for memory/crash traces, and isolate changes to a single feature branch. Small PHP tweaks go into Yii2 modules under version control; tested against staging before PR. CI pipeline handles build/test/deploy, so I’ll validate against the same targets. Expect root-cause analysis in PR descriptions and regression tests for adjacent flows. I can start immediately. Thanks, Andrii.

Hi, your project emphasizes the need for ongoing maintenance and enhancements of an existing iOS application, particularly in maintaining code quality and stability. I understand the importance of keeping a well-established product evolving while ensuring that new features integrate seamlessly without introducing regressions. To approach this, I would typically conduct a thorough code audit, define the scope of necessary updates, implement enhancements, and rigorously test the application across various devices to ensure a smooth deployment. Could you share the App Store link for the existing app? This will help me understand its current state and the specific areas where you see the most need for improvements or expansions. Additionally, could you clarify if there are any particular business requirements for the upcoming features or if there are areas of the app that have been problematic? My development philosophy revolves around clean architecture and reliable performance. I prioritize delivering robust solutions that are ready for real-world usage from the outset, ensuring that every aspect of the app is aligned with user needs and business goals. I look forward to discussing your requirements in detail so we can accurately scope the timeline and pricing for our collaboration. Regards, Mohammad

Hi, there - Truong here. "LONG-TERM IOS MAINTENANCE" — you need reliable updates without breaking an existing app. Tamam. I would start by understanding the current iOS codebase, build flow, API connections, and existing issues before making changes. For maintenance work, I focus on finding the root cause first, then testing the related user flows before delivery. I can handle feature updates, bug fixes, API issues, Git workflow, and careful changes inside an existing production app. How is your iOS project currently structured: SwiftUI, UIKit, or a mix of both? thanks.

Tamam — you need a dependable developer who can improve an established iOS product without creating regressions across its PHP API, MySQL data, environments, or release pipeline. I have 9+ years of software experience, including cross-platform mobile applications, iOS build and signing workflows, API integration, Git branches, pull requests, CI/CD, PHP, and MySQL. In an unfamiliar codebase, I first reproduce the issue, record the affected state and request flow, trace logs and recent changes, isolate the smallest failing component, add a regression test, implement a scoped fix, then retest adjacent user journeys before opening a documented PR. I should be transparent that my primary mobile experience is Flutter rather than long-term native Swift ownership, and I do not claim production Yii2 expertise. Which native iOS language and architecture does the current app use?

Hi, You need a part-time iOS developer for an existing app — not a rebuild — plus occasional small PHP (Yii2) fixes when API issues need it. Task batches, PR workflow, test before delivery, ~48h on small/medium tasks. iOS experience: 8+ years native iOS (Swift, some legacy Objective-C). I maintain live apps: features, API wiring, TestFlight, App Store updates. Apps: examples on my Upwork profile (merchant/distributor and field apps on iOS + Android). Availability: part-time, task batches; reachable on weekdays for questions and urgent production issues. PHP/Yii2: basic — I’ve worked with PHP backends and REST APIs; Yii2 is not my daily stack, but I can trace API calls and make small backend fixes when needed. How I debug an unfamiliar iOS codebase: reproduce the bug → read stack trace / logs → find the entry screen → follow the flow (ViewController → ViewModel → API client) → compare with staging API → minimal fix → test the feature and related flows → PR with a short note on cause and fix. Happy to start with your $20 trial (two tasks). Best regards

Tamam. Hello! I have strong experience maintaining existing iOS applications, implementing features, fixing production bugs, integrating REST APIs, and working with Git, CI/CD, MySQL, and PHP backends. I also have basic experience working with PHP/Yii2 code. I will first understand the existing architecture and reproduce each issue before changing code. I’ll trace logs, API responses, application state, and related code paths to identify the root cause, then implement the smallest safe fix. For every task, I will test the changed feature and related user flows, avoid unnecessary modifications, and submit clean commits through your existing branch and Pull Request workflow. I can also share relevant application examples privately where applicable. Timeline: 2 days I am currently available and can start immediately. I respect your existing development process, QA requirements, and suggestions, and I am interested in reliable long-term collaboration. Thanks

Tamam — I’m comfortable taking ownership of maintenance work in an existing mobile codebase, investigating issues before changing code, and delivering focused pull requests with testing notes. For an unfamiliar iOS issue, I first reproduce it in the correct environment, inspect logs/crash reports and the affected API flow, trace the relevant view/model/service path, and identify the smallest root-cause fix. I then test the changed flow plus related regression paths, keep the change within scope, and submit a clean PR with implementation and test notes. I’m available for task-based collaboration and can normally respond and deliver small, well-defined tasks within the agreed 48-hour window. I also have experience with API integration, Git branches/PRs, MySQL, PHP backend investigation, and CI/CD workflows. Before the trial, please confirm the current iOS stack—Swift/UIKit, SwiftUI, or Objective-C—the minimum supported iOS version, and whether the two trial tasks are documented with acceptance criteria.
