Objective-C developers are skilled professionals who use the Objective-C language to build, test, and maintain high-quality apps for Apple devices.
Unfortunately, locating and hiring experienced Objective-C developers can be an uphill battle. Moreover, in 2014, Apple introduced Swift — a modern and intuitive programming language — as a successor to Objective-C. As a result, employers have had a much harder time locating developers with up-to-date Objective-C expertise and knowledge.
This guide explains Objective-C development, what Objective-C developers do, their salaries, how to write a job description to attract industry-leading talent, and how to write engaging interview questions for Objective-C developers. It also discusses how Revelo can help you hire top-tier talent.
Objective-C development uses Objective-C to design, code, test, and maintain macOS, iOS, tvOS, and watchOS apps. Objective-C is a high-level, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language, a superset of the C programming language.
Objective-C was the standard programming language used for developing iOS and macOS applications until the introduction of Swift in 2014. Because Swift is easier to maintain, safer, more concise, and easier to read than Objective-C, many Objective-C developers have shifted to Swift.
However, some companies still prefer hiring Objective-C developers for the following reasons:
Companies can also use Objective-C for the following projects:
Objective-C developer duties vary, but most are responsible for the following tasks:
According to ZipRecruiter, the average U.S.-based mid-level Objective-C developer earns $127,167 annually.
While Objective-C developers in Latin American countries are equally skilled, their lower cost of living means they usually earn 30% to 50% less than their U.S. counterparts, with salaries varying based on location and experience. Revelo gives you access to highly qualified, pre-vetted Latin American developers, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising quality.
You must write a concise and engaging job description to attract qualified Objective-C developers. Here are some key elements to include:
After posting your job description, you should prepare interview questions to assess applicants' skills and experience. Be sure to ask questions that reveal their technical expertise, problem-solving skills, collaboration skills, and Objective-C development experience.
Below are some sample Objective-C developer interview questions to get you started.
Ask this question to gauge the candidate's familiarity with Objective-C and Swift. The ideal answer should demonstrate the following:
This question evaluates applicants' Objective-C development experience. The ideal amount of experience depends on the seniority. Here is an example of a good Senior Objective-C developer answer:
I have been using Objective-C for over 10 years. I started working with Objective-C as a fresh grad in 2010 when I worked at [company name] as a Junior Objective-C developer. Throughout my career, I have designed, tested, delivered, and maintained numerous Objective-C projects, including [app and project names and description]. My familiarity with Objective-C allows me to troubleshoot issues effectively, re-architect legacy code, write clean and efficient code, and ship high-quality Apple apps.
This technical question evaluates job seekers' Objective-C knowledge. A strong answer should sound like this:
I usually use categories to add methods to existing classes even when I don't have the source. For example, I can use categories to add methods to categories defined in the Cocoa frameworks. Categories are a great way to extend the functionality of existing classes without subclassing.
Hiring experienced Objective-C developers can be difficult due to the language's declining popularity and the increasing demand for Swift programmers.
