Broken builds, difficult integrations, unfinished features, or a release that never quite makes it out the door. Senior engineering help with clear scope, documented findings, and a practical path to production.
iOS, Apple Watch companion apps, web apps, build pipelines, integration and release troubleshooting.
Each engagement begins with a written scope and acceptance criteria. Pricing below covers standard cases; unusual complexity is quoted separately before work begins.
For a problem you can describe but cannot confidently isolate.
Deliverable: concise diagnostic brief.
Request diagnosticFor a reproducible failure or clearly defined missing capability.
Deliverable: verified fix with evidence.
Discuss a repairFor an app that works but needs a disciplined route to distribution.
Deliverable: release package/checklist. Store acceptance is not guaranteed.
Plan a releaseClient retains ownership of source code and developer accounts. App Store fees, third-party subscriptions, device procurement, new features and extensive refactors are outside standard packages unless expressly included.
Every engagement uses the same fundamentals that make large production systems predictable—without unnecessary ceremony.
Clarify symptoms, business impact, technical ownership, dependencies and access requirements.
Capture build state, reproducibility, and known constraints. Identify risk before making changes.
Work against agreed acceptance criteria in a reviewable branch or patch.
Deliver test evidence, residual issues, deployment notes and next actions.
Especially useful for independent founders, small product teams and businesses with an existing codebase that needs experienced attention before launch.
Code access is granted only after agreement on scope and confidentiality. Use least-privilege access, staging/test credentials where practical, and revoke temporary access at handoff.
This service is performed on client-owned or properly licensed software only.
No. Diagnostics identify the most supportable remediation path. Repair estimates are provided only when scope and feasibility are sufficiently clear.
Usually not. We start with a code review, reproducible environment, and sanitized test data whenever possible.
No. Apple's review decisions remain Apple's. The engagement addresses build/distribution readiness and identified submission requirements.
