Like we said, there is no dearth of iPhone developers, but there is a shortage of the best ones. It is better to keep a few things in mind when you hire iPhone developers. We help in selecting the best.

Go to the search engine page and look out for their website and other news. Check their portfolio where you get a complete picture of their work experiences, contact modes, expertise and specializations. You can even check the testimonials and see how their customers have rated them.
2. References
Ask the iPhone app development company about the existing and previous clients they have worked with. Speaking to their clients will give you their accurate credibility, quality and their reliability of work. Even though their website will have testimonials, a cross-check with their clients will be helpful in ascertaining their responsiveness and genuineness.
3. Experience
What is the best way to know how competent their iOS app developers are? This can be done by gauging their previous work experience. The website will usually have the portfolio of the team members by which you get a fair idea of where they have worked before and on what projects. Experience helps them to complete the projects with accuracy and on time. They will be able to handle the pressure and be competent in their task.
4. Specialization
The most important factor to be considered when you hire iOS developers is their software programming knowledge. The developer must not only create the app but also be proficient in its submission and optimization. You can get the developer evaluated by asking a few basic technical questions to ascertain his technical skills. While this may seem unnecessary for you, it will help you to get an insight into his expertise on the subject.
5. Services
Before signing on the dotted line, know about the services they will provide you when creating your iPhone mobile app. Tell them your ideas and plans and see how receptive they are to your views. See how they reciprocate and inject new ideas. When you work with iOS app developers, be sure to clear all your doubts with them.
6. Communication
To successfully create an iPhone mobile app, the developers need to communicate with you often and vice-versa. You and the developers have to have mutual understanding and a good degree of rapport through reliable communication. Don’t communicate with them via means and third person. Have direct communication so that all the queries are sorted and there is no scope for misunderstandings.
7. Transparency
The iOS developers need to be transparent in their dealings. This leads to improvement in trust and loyalty. Also, unwanted misgivings get erased when the matter is handled with complete transparency with no hidden conditions. Ask the iPhone app development company to email you a written quotation with all the tasks that are meant to be completed and the terms and conditions. The estimated time and payment also has to be mentioned in it.
8. Payment
Be clear with the estimate of the payment and the conditions attached to it. Also, speak to them about the mode of payment. Ask them for a payment voucher with complete details about the dissection of services and the respective payments. Cost is a significant factor when you hire iPhone developers. Ask them if there is any upfront money to be paid and also if the rest has to be paid after the task completion.
9. Conditions
Often, the creation of an iPhone app includes the allied services like the testing and submission process. When you are looking for iPhone app developers, be clear that they even work on these allied services. And, be sure to read their terms and conditions carefully before you assign them this job.
10. After Sale
A good iPhone app development company has to provide after sales service to fix errors or bug issues. Also, check if they provide updating options. The best policy is to hire problem solvers who are innovative enough and apt at adapting to the ever-evolving changes in the mobile app development industry.
