Positions available to programmers who specialize in creating applications for Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS, on a temporary, project-based agreement are common. These roles involve writing code, debugging, and testing apps for iPhones and iPads within a defined timeframe and scope, as opposed to permanent employment. For example, a company might hire an individual to develop a new feature for their existing iOS application or to build an entirely new app from scratch.
The prevalence of such arrangements offers several advantages to both businesses and specialists. Businesses gain access to specific skill sets without the long-term commitment and overhead costs associated with full-time hiring. Specialists benefit from increased flexibility, diverse project experience, and often higher earning potential per hour. Historically, this model became popular as technology evolved rapidly and companies needed to quickly adapt to changing market demands.
