iOS developers typically develop applications specifically for the iOS platform. Whilst a background in computer science is always desirable, a lot of iOS developers learn from hands-on and on-the-job training. You are looking for a developer who is knowledgeable and passionate about technology.

When interviewing an iOS developer, it is important to identify their knowledge of code, application development, and tech skills. In addition, they should be able to demonstrate tech and tool knowledge along with testing and implementing app products. It’s usually useful to conduct a coding test as part of the interview process for this type of role.

Role Specific Questions

Tell me about the iOS frameworks you have experience using.
What do you do to define your own protocol?
How do you feel about security? What are some industry best practices you can tell me about?
What is MVC, and how is it implemented in iOS?
What steps would you take to troubleshoot a crashing application?
What interfaces do you think are best to use when trying to create an end-user-friendly application?
Can you tell me about managed object context and its functionality?

Behavioral Questions

When faced with an application problem, what would you do to troubleshoot and resolve it?
What steps do you take to further your knowledge about new and emerging technology and applications?
What is your biggest project achievement so far? What did you enjoy about it?

Conclusion

Most iOS developers will be able to provide comprehensive answers and demonstrate in-depth knowledge of these subject matter questions. Look for answers using the star method, and identify where persons are using specific examples from their previous roles/experience to demonstrate their working knowledge.
