What we test for
Typical work
- Feature work with SwiftUI and UIKit side by side
- App Store submissions, review and TestFlight builds
- Migrations from Objective-C or older Swift
- Launch time, memory and crash-free rate work
The coding test
Build a screen that loads a list from an API with async/await, caches it, and handles a slow network and a cancelled request, then explain how they would get it through App Store review. Scored on concurrency, error states and release know-how.
Five interview questions you can reuse
We use questions like these in our soft-skills and technical rounds. Steal them for your own interviews.
SwiftUI or UIKit for a new screen in an app that already exists?
A strong answer covers: SwiftUI where the minimum version allows it and the layout fits, bridged for interop; UIKit where you need fine control or the team already has it. Never a rewrite.
What causes retain cycles in Swift, and how do you catch them?
A strong answer covers: Closures capturing self strongly and parent-child references; weak or unowned captures to break them, and the memory graph debugger or Instruments to find them.
How do you move an app from completion handlers to async/await?
A strong answer covers: Wrap the boundaries with continuations, convert leaf by leaf, use actors for shared mutable state, and keep the tests green at every step.
App Store review rejects the build. What is your process?
A strong answer covers: Read the exact guideline cited, reproduce what the reviewer saw, then fix it or answer in the Resolution Center with evidence, with a TestFlight build ready to go.
How do you cut an app launch that takes four seconds?
A strong answer covers: Measure with Instruments before touching anything, move work out of didFinishLaunching, defer third-party SDK init, cut dynamic frameworks, and watch the metric in Xcode Organizer.
