Hiring Xcode and Android Studio developer

Wizard's Toolkit is a low-code development library which makes Progressive web apps (PWA) quickly and easily.

Hiring Xcode and Android Studio developer

Ideal candidate is up-to-date on Xcode and Android Studio development and plans to keep up-to-date with those environments.

This is a long-term position but will only be worthwhile if you are already working in these environments and keeping them current on your computer. If you are, then this opportunity is perfect for you. The process would then be simply:

  • add App Icons that will be provided
  • point to a specific web page
  • compile and upload to Apple App Store and/or Google Play Store

Compensation

$160 for Xcode compile and upload to Apple App Store
$160 for Android Studio compile and upload to Google Play Store

This is what I think is fair and would be extremely attractive to buyers but I am open to discussion. Once the price is agreed upon WTK will keep 20% with the remaining 80% going directly to the App developer. In above example the offer to clients would be $200 for an App, of which developer receives $160. If the client wanted to have any additional custom coding done that would be handled directly between you and them and whatever hourly rate you normally charge.

History

I created Wizard's Toolkit in 2009 and have built websites for many clients. They are responsive design and look great on phones as well as tablets and computers. For a few clients we created mobile apps which accessed camera, uploaded photos, and made phone calls as well as the normal accessing of SQL databases, etc.

I hired an Xcode developer in September to make a simple app which just pointed to the login page. It uses ReactNative and worked great. The JavaScript in Wizard's Toolkit includes ReactNative code to natively trigger photos, manage uploads, etc. Based on a JS variable setting determines whether pages utilize the ReactNative code for mobile app, or the HTML5 code for regular web access. However now Xcode has upgraded and will no longer compile without ad nauseam changes.

Summary

I'm looking for a long term relationship with a developer. I'll pay them to create the first Xcode app and Android Studio app which will be uploaded to the app stores as prototype demos of what Wizard's Toolkit apps can do. Then I will advertise to current and future Wizard's Toolkit customers that we have an in-house developer who will compile apps and upload them to the app stores for a flat fee. Clients will have to be using Wizard's Toolkit and write their own code which they upload to their own web servers. The App developer's only job will be adding the icons, setting the URL to point to their website, and recompiling.

If you are interested I can send you a link to the prototype page and the Xcode files which were completed in September to review. See more details and contact me through:
