I need a seasoned iOS developer to turn my social-networking concept into a polished, App Store–ready application. The goal is a clean, intuitive platform where users can create profiles, connect with friends, share posts, and receive real-time notifications—think core social features without the clutter. Key objectives • Architect a native Swift app optimized for the latest iOS version. • Design a modern, responsive UI that feels at home on iPhone and iPad. • Implement secure sign-up/sign-in (Apple ID and email). • Build follower/friend management, post creation (text, images, short video), likes, and comments. • Enable push notifications and in-app alerts. • Configure a lightweight backend (Firebase or similar) for user data, media storage, and analytics. • Prepare TestFlight builds and final App Store submission assets. I’m providing wireframe sketches and a feature priority list; you’ll handle UX refinement, coding, and basic QA. Clear, commented code, Git version control, and weekly progress demos are expected. If things go smoothly, there’s room to extend the project to an Android rollout later.
