Our teams engineer high-performance iOS and macOS solutions that withstand heavy traffic and strict compliance audits.
We provide enterprise-grade Objective-C app development for iOS and macOS, specializing in applications that demand millisecond responsiveness, offline resilience, and fault-tolerant data sync. Our engineers collaborate with your backend, security, and UX teams to align data models, authentication flows, and accessibility standards. The result is a native application that fits your architecture and scales without surprises.
We modernize legacy Objective-C codebases that still power mission-critical products. Over time, these systems often accumulate outdated APIs, manual memory management, and security gaps that slow development and increase risk. Starting with static and runtime analyses, we refactor modules, introduce ARC, and replace deprecated frameworks while production remains live. You regain a maintainable codebase that's ready for new features without disruptive rewrites.
A strategic migration from Objective-C to Swift is a balancing act. You have to manage the linking, testing, and performance challenges of a mixed-language environment, all while preserving proven components that still add value. Our process solves this through staged bridging, parity tests, and automated refactoring tools to replace modules safely. Your team gains modern Swift advantages while business continuity remains intact.
We develop reusable Objective-C SDKs and dynamic frameworks that expose stable APIs to partners and internal teams. Such libraries must balance binary size, backward compatibility, and strict Apple signing requirements. Our engineers design module maps, documentation sets, and CI jobs that validate ABI stability across versions. Integrators ship faster, and you control release cadence.
We provide specialized performance tuning for Objective-C applications with demanding multimedia and graphics workloads. Using advanced profiling tools, our engineers diagnose and address performance bottlenecks to optimize performance and refine memory management for real-time media processing. You get a highly responsive application that delivers a smooth, professional user experience even on older hardware and under challenging network conditions.
We build Objective-C applications that process sensitive data subject to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or SOC 2. Meeting these standards goes beyond writing secure code. It requires strict permission models, detailed audit logging, and evidence collection that align with your governance processes. Our engineers integrate Keychain, Secure Enclave, and on-device database encryption while coordinating evidence collection with your governance teams. You deploy mobile solutions that satisfy auditors and protect user trust.
We engineer and implement automated testing and release pipelines for mature Objective-C applications. Our engineers start with a full pipeline audit. We then configure XCTest suites, UI automation, static analysis, and Fastlane or Xcode Cloud jobs that validate every commit. You get a predictable, push-button release process that catches bugs automatically. Our QA approach accelerates development and provides stakeholders with transparent quality metrics without costly manual QA bottlenecks.
Critical legacy applications can become a major risk when the original development team has moved on. We provide dedicated long-term support, acting as custodians of your codebase to handle essential bug fixes, security patching, and OS compatibility updates. This ensures your application remains stable, freeing your core engineers to focus on new products.

The ecosystem we use for Objective-C projects:
We standardize on a mature, Apple-native toolchain and only add third-party utilities that pass strict longevity, security, and compliance reviews. This balance of first-party frameworks and vetted open-source tools lets us ship enterprise Objective-C codebases that remain dependable through yearly OS updates.
Core Frameworks and SDKs
We align with the native Apple stack because it carries the strongest roadmap guarantees and the deepest performance optimizations. By staying close to first-party APIs, we eliminate vendor risk and keep long-term maintenance costs predictable.
Build and Dependency Management
Our build strategy centers on deterministic outputs and transparent versioning, so releases can be reproduced years later for audits. We favor widely adopted, community-backed workflows that avoid proprietary lock-in and keep upgrade paths clear.
Testing and Quality Assurance
Quality gates are wired into every pull request, ranging from unit checks to UI snapshots and accessibility sweeps. Automated coverage at multiple layers lets teams ship faster while proving compliance to security and product stakeholders.

We treat profiling as a continuous activity, not a last-minute fix. Real-time telemetry and historical baselines surface regressions early, ensuring apps remain responsive under peak load and across hardware generations.
Continuous Integration and Delivery
Our pipelines codify signing, provisioning, and rollout policies so that every build follows the same auditable path from commit to storefront. This repeatability minimizes release friction and provides clear checkpoints for compliance reviews.
Security and Compliance
Defense-in-depth starts at the hardware enclave and extends through encrypted transport, code-sign integrity, and evidence collection. Each control is mapped to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 requirements to satisfy auditors without stalling delivery.
Analytics and Monitoring
Data flows from mobile clients to operational dashboards in near-real time, empowering both product managers and SRE teams. Open pipelines prevent vendor dependence and make it easy to enrich metrics with business context.

What tech leaders ask about Objective-C before pulling us in:
How senior are your Objective-C developers, and will we work directly with them?
Our vetted Objective-C developers average 10+ years on Apple stacks. You’ll collaborate with them directly, just as you would with your internal team. We do not offload work to subcontractors or juniors.
What does your vetting process look like for Objective-C talent?
Our vetting process is rigorous and involves months of evaluations and interviews specific to Objective-C scenarios. Out of over 2 million applicants per year, we hire less than 1%, ensuring only experienced developers join client projects.
Can you staff a dedicated Objective-C team for long-term product ownership?
Yes. We maintain a deep bench of 4000+ skilled developers, allowing us to assemble cross-functional squads within weeks. Teams stay intact for multi-year roadmaps, providing continuity and predictable velocity. You can also scale up quickly as needs shift.
How quickly can your engineers onboard into our codebase and toolchain?
Our engineers typically onboard in 2 to 4 weeks. Thanks to our fast onboarding at the experience of our engineers, our talent ramps up faster than typical hires. In fact, on many projects, we're committing good code a week after onboarding.
How do you coordinate across US time zones to keep sprints on track?
Our nearshore teams work in US time zones, ensuring real-time collaboration throughout your workday. We embed directly into your workflows. We use your tools, join your meetings, and follow your sprint cadence. Communication is always clear and delivery stays on track.
Is Objective-C still viable, or do we need to rewrite everything in Swift?
Apple continues to fully support Objective-C. A full rewrite in Swift is a common and costly mistake that introduces massive risk for little immediate gain. We modernize critical modules and bridge to Swift where it adds value, avoiding extensive rewrites while unlocking new APIs.
What are common pitfalls when modernizing legacy Objective-C codebases?
The biggest pitfall is the domino effect, where a single change to an outdated API or memory pattern triggers a cascade of regressions across the app. Our development process is designed to prevent this. We start with static analysis, introduce ARC, and refactor incrementally to preserve uptime. This incremental approach ensures your application remains stable and deployable throughout the modernization.
Do you have experience in regulated industries like finance or healthcare?
Yes, we’ve worked with hundreds of clients in highly regulated industries. This means our engineers have deep, hands-on experience engineering mobile solutions that meet stringent compliance standards, including HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2. A significant portion of our work involves high-stakes applications where security and data privacy are paramount. We know how to create auditable controls and documentation required to pass rigorous reviews.
Do you offer QA and testing services for existing Objective-C apps?
Yes, we specialize in building testing safety nets for mature Objective-C applications, many of which have little existing test coverage. Our approach is tailored to the unique challenges of legacy code, like creating test harnesses for tightly-coupled components and identifying subtle memory management bugs.
Can you be hired just to diagnose and fix performance issues in an existing Objective-C app?
Of course. We offer this as a dedicated service. Our process begins with a deep performance audit using Instruments to identify specific CPU, memory, or rendering bottlenecks. We then execute targeted optimizations to deliver a fast, responsive application that works smoothly even under heavy load.
