The app still sells, and nobody wants to touch it

What we screen for before you spend an hour interviewing.

Breaking with each iOS release

Deprecated APIs and old build settings that need work every year.

No tests, no documentation

A codebase where every change is a risk taken by hand.

Mixed with Swift and no boundary

Two languages interleaved without a plan, so neither is comfortable to work in.

We screen Objective-C engineers on memory management, on interoperability with Swift, and on keeping an older application building and passing review as the platform moves.

Most briefs are maintenance with a gradual path forward: new work written in Swift behind a clear boundary, while the existing code keeps working.

A full rewrite is a decision we would rather you take deliberately than by default.

How it works

A clear process from brief to launch, with your approval at every stage.

Tell us the gap

One call about the work, the stack and the deadline. You get a written shortlist, not a stack of unfiltered profiles.

01
Meet two or three

You interview a short list we have already tested ourselves, and you set the technical exercise if you want one.

02
Start, with cover

The engineer starts inside your tools and your process, and we replace anyone who is not right without an argument.

03

Accelerate your launch

The benefits of working with us

Why Dubai companies choose Codeeo for hire an Objective-C developer

  • Tested before you meet them

    Every engineer is screened by our own developers on real work, not on a keyword match against a CV.

  • Working hours that overlap yours

    Teams that sit in the Gulf working day, so review, standup and escalation happen inside your hours.

  • Your code, your accounts

    Repositories, cloud accounts and credentials stay yours. Engineers work inside them and leave nothing behind.

  • One invoice, no visa admin

    We carry the employment, the visas and the payroll, so you add and remove capacity without an HR project.

Questions founders ask us

Can you keep our old app running?

Yes, including annual work for each iOS release and keeping it through review.

Should we rewrite it in Swift?

Usually gradually, with new features in Swift behind a boundary, rather than all at once.

Can you take over from a previous developer?

Yes, including undocumented code, which is the normal case here.

Is it hard to find Objective-C engineers?

Harder than for Swift, and we will give you the realistic timeline up front.
