The problem we solve
When your iOS application becomes difficult to build, maintain, or scale.
You already have an app, users and momentum, but the engineering side is holding you back. That is exactly where SoftStack comes in.
“Our iOS app is unstable and crashes too often.”
“Our team is overloaded and releases are slow.”
“We can't hire senior iOS engineers fast enough.”
“Our codebase has become hard to maintain.”
“We need to modernize without starting over.”
“We need someone to take ownership of our app.”
What we do
Senior iOS engineering across the entire product lifecycle
02
iOS App Rescue & Stabilization
Your iOS app is struggling. We take over unstable, legacy or poorly maintained apps and turn them into reliable, maintainable products.

App Conversion & Cross-Platform Porting
Have your product on the wrong platform, or just one? We convert it: Android ↔ iOS, Flutter ↔ native, or turn your website into a real app. Same features, native feel.
Convert my app →
New · Cross-platform
Convert your app to any platform
Stuck on one platform, or built on the wrong stack? We rebuild your product where your users are, keeping the same features and design, but making it feel truly native. Android to iOS, iOS to Android, Flutter to native, or your website into a real app.
Agencies quote $15,000 to $50,000 to rebuild an app on a new platform.
SoftStack ports yours from $4,500, built and owned by a senior engineer, not a factory.
Android → iOS
You have an Android app but no iPhone version, and you're losing the higher-spending iOS users. We rebuild it as a native iOS app that feels right on iPhone and iPad, and ship it to the App Store.
iOS → Android
You have an iPhone app and you're turning away every Android user who tries to install it. We port it to a native Android app that matches your iOS product screen-for-screen and ships to Google Play.
Flutter ⇄ Native
Move off Flutter to fully native Swift & Kotlin for maximum performance and platform fit, or go the other way and merge two native apps into one Flutter codebase to cut your maintenance in half.
Website → Mobile App
Turn your existing website or web app into a real, installable mobile app from a single Flutter codebase, on both the App Store and Google Play, with push notifications and offline support.
Simple app from $4,500 · most projects $4,500 to $12,000 · complex apps quoted. You get a fixed price after a free scope call, with no surprises.

Selected work
Real iOS products, taken seriously
The kind of iOS work SoftStack takes on: existing production apps, complex APIs and modernization. Client names and screenshots are added as they are approved.
Driver dispatch app stabilized
Challenge
A live ride-dispatch iOS app with reliability issues around CarPlay, Picture-in-Picture and real-time WebSocket connections.
What SoftStack did
Took ownership of the live app, hardened the real-time layer and CarPlay integration, and moved the team to a predictable biweekly release cadence.
Technology
SwiftUIKitCarPlayWebSocketApp Store
Outcome
A more stable, maintainable app with reliable real-time behavior and a steady release process.
Legacy UIKit → SwiftUI
Challenge
An aging UIKit / Objective-C codebase that was slow to change and risky to release.
What SoftStack did
Introduced a modern Swift architecture, a real testing strategy and CI/CD, migrating incrementally without disrupting live users.
Technology
Objective-C → SwiftSwiftUICI/CDTesting
Outcome
A more maintainable codebase and architecture set up for continued feature development.
Fintech features & localization
Challenge
A telecom fintech product needed new features, real-time transaction logs and multi-language support.
What SoftStack did
Built the new features and real-time logs, added localization, and integrated secure backend APIs.
Technology
SwiftREST APIsLocalizationSecurity
Outcome
Expanded functionality and language support delivered on a secure, maintainable foundation.

Founder & Senior iOS Engineer
The engineer
Meet your senior iOS engineer.
When you work with SoftStack, you work directly with its founder, not an account manager. Haider Tamsil is a Senior iOS Engineer with 7+ years of experience building and maintaining production iOS applications.
That founder-led, engineer-led model is one of SoftStack's biggest advantages: seniority, ownership and direct communication from the person actually writing the code.

FAQ
iOS development services, common questions
What iOS development services does SoftStack offer?
Full-lifecycle iOS development services: building new iOS apps, rescuing and stabilizing unstable apps, modernizing legacy UIKit/Objective-C code to Swift and SwiftUI, and providing dedicated senior iOS engineers for long-term product ownership.
How much do your iOS development services cost?
A dedicated senior iOS engineer is $4,500/month, a flat, predictable rate with no recruiter fees. You can start with a free iOS assessment, or scale up to a dedicated iOS team (custom). One-off projects and iOS codebase audits are quoted separately.
Can I hire a dedicated iOS developer long-term?
Yes. You can hire Haider Tamsil, a senior iOS engineer with 7+ years of native iOS experience, full-time, long-term, for $4,500/month, embedded directly in your team.
Do you work with US-based companies?
Yes. SoftStack is remote-first and works with US and global companies, with working hours that overlap US time zones.
Do you take over existing or legacy iOS apps?
Yes. We specialize in taking over existing, unstable, or legacy iOS apps, fixing crashes, reducing technical debt, and modernizing them without a rewrite.
Can you convert my app to another platform (Android ↔ iOS, Flutter ↔ native)?
Yes. We convert apps in any direction: Android to iOS, iOS to Android, Flutter to fully native (Swift/Kotlin) or native to a single Flutter codebase, and we turn websites into real installable apps. We keep your existing features and design, but rebuild it to feel truly native on the new platform.
How much does it cost to convert or port my app?
App conversion starts from $4,500 for a simple app, a fraction of the $15,000 to $50,000 agencies typically charge. Most projects fall between $4,500 and $12,000, and complex apps are quoted individually. You always get a fixed price after a short free scope call, so there are no surprises.
