Senior human iOS help · GitHub-native · Async

Your AI-built iOS app is stuck. We get it moving again.

For non-technical founders who shipped with AI and now have bugs, regressions, or a Swift codebase the agent can no longer fix.

See rescue plans No call. No questionnaire. Assign an issue and we start.

The AI loop broke

Every prompt seems to fix one thing and break another. The app looks close, but you cannot tell what is safe to change, what is duplicated, or why the same bugs keep coming back.

Regressions stack

New features ship with old flows quietly broken. The agent does not notice.

Duplicated logic

The same model, helper, or state shows up two or three times in different shapes.

No safe ground

You stop knowing which file is the real one. Every change feels risky.

Senior human engineering inside your AI-agent workflow

Use the same GitHub flow you already use with coding agents: create an issue, assign @iOSDev-pro, and keep everything async. Behind the handle, senior human iOS engineers inspect the codebase, find the real failure point, and make the smallest stabilizing changes needed to move forward.

See rescue plans Choose weekly capacity and assign the stuck issue in GitHub.

Code Rescue

Take over an AI-built iOS app stuck in a regression spiral.

  • Root-cause diagnosis for bugs the AI keeps "fixing" but never closing
  • Targeted Swift, SwiftUI, or UIKit fixes where the app is actually broken
  • Cleanup of duplicated helpers, models, and logic that confuse future changes
  • Stabilization of the flows blocking your next release or TestFlight build
  • A clear written handover so you know what changed and what to do next
See rescue plans Pick the weekly capacity that fits the broken flow or issue cluster.

Senior iOS judgment behind the GitHub handle

Code Rescue work is handled by a senior iOS developer with at least 8 years of professional software engineering experience and deep native iOS experience.

From stuck repo to working app

  1. Choose a plan and email support@iosdev.pro with the selected plan name and a link to the GitHub repository that needs Code Rescue.
  2. After invoice payment, invite @iOSDev-pro as a collaborator to that exact GitHub repository.
  3. Create one GitHub issue for each bug, regression, stuck flow, or rescue task.
  4. Add what you know: what broke, what you expected, reproduction steps, screenshots, logs, AI notes, or links to recordings.
  5. Assign the relevant issue or issues to @iOSDev-pro.
  6. We inspect the issue, read the codebase, and work asynchronously through GitHub.
  7. You receive issue comments, commits, pull requests, and written handover notes inside GitHub.

Subscription request & repo matching

Include the GitHub repository link for the repo that will invite @iOSDev-pro. Example: https://github.com/acme-inc/ios-app.

After invoice payment, invite @iOSDev-pro as a collaborator to the GitHub repository listed in your subscription request. We use the GitHub repository link you provide to match your payment with the GitHub collaboration invitation. We only accept repository invitations that match an active paid subscription and the GitHub repository provided in the subscription request.

Assign us like an agent. Get senior humans.

Create issues in your repository, assign them to @iOSDev-pro, and put everything useful in the issue. The workflow feels like assigning an AI coding agent, but the work is handled by senior human iOS engineers.

  • GitHub repository access is required
  • Work starts from GitHub issues assigned to @iOSDev-pro
  • Updates happen in GitHub issues, commits, and pull requests
  • Designed to fit the async repo workflow founders already use with AI coding agents
  • If talking is faster, record a Loom, Tella, Screen Studio, QuickTime, or similar video and link it in the issue
  • Audio notes, speech-to-text notes, screenshots, logs, and attached files are welcome when they help explain the issue
  • No calls, live meetings, standups, or real-time syncs
  • No intake questionnaire — we respond to the issues and PRs assigned to us and do the best senior human pass from the context provided
  • No on-call support, emergency availability, or guaranteed response times
  • No hourly consulting, one-day fixes, two-day fixes, or ad hoc micro-engagements
See rescue plans No calls or intake process. Email, pay, invite, assign.

What happens after you assign an issue

We work inside the assigned GitHub issue and the surrounding code needed to understand it. The goal is to make the smallest senior-level intervention that moves the app forward without turning the engagement into open-ended product, design, or agency work.

Included

  • Read the assigned issue and relevant repository context
  • Inspect surrounding Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, architecture, state flow, and duplicated logic
  • Ask clarifying questions in the GitHub issue when context is not enough
  • Share findings, diagnosis notes, planned work direction, and practical estimates in issue comments
  • Make targeted commits or pull requests for the assigned issue scope
  • Leave written notes explaining what changed, what was found, and what still needs attention
  • Handle reasonable follow-up fixes within the active paid term and reserved weekly capacity

Not included

  • Calls, meetings, standups, or real-time pairing
  • Hourly consulting, one-day fixes, two-day fixes, or ad hoc micro-engagements
  • Product management, UX design, backend operations, App Store submission management, or growth work
  • Broad rewrites or rebuilding the entire app unless that becomes the explicitly chosen rescue path
  • On-call support, emergency availability, or guaranteed response times
  • Support after the paid term ends

One week is the smallest useful rescue window

Code Rescue is sold in weekly capacity because that is the smallest practical unit for entering a new repo, understanding the issue, making useful changes, and leaving enough room for questions, clarifications, and follow-up fixes. Anything smaller is usually too shallow for the kind of native iOS rescue work this service is built for.

Choose the weekly rescue capacity you need

Part-time is the lighter option; Standard and Priority reserve more room for deeper or more urgent rescue work.

Part-time

$1,950 / week
Up to 20 working hours capacity / week

A lighter weekly allocation for one focused issue, broken flow, recurring regression loop, or smaller issue cluster.

Response: business days within up to 8 business hours.
Choose Part-time

Priority

$5,950 / week
Up to 60 working hours capacity / week

Release pressure, urgent TestFlight blockers, or multiple issue clusters that need the largest weekly capacity allocation.

Response: business days within up to 2 business hours, weekends within up to 12 hours.
Choose Priority

Conditions

  • B2B weekly subscriptions in USD, exclusive of applicable taxes
  • Cancel any time before the next renewal — active delivery stops when the paid term ends
  • After the paid term ends, @iOSDev-pro is removed from repository access
  • Weekly capacity is reserved delivery capacity, not a guaranteed hour bank. Unused capacity does not roll over
  • Business days and hours follow the US East Coast, New York time zone
  • We try to respond as soon as practical, but expect the response window stated for your plan
  • We do not offer hourly, one-day, or two-day rescue work

  • New subscriptions are subject to onboarding capacity review after payment, repo invitation, and at least one assigned issue
  • If we cannot take on the work, we usually notify within a few hours during US business hours Mon–Fri and always within 48 hours, then cancel and fully refund the prepaid current term
  • Plan upgrades normally start from the next subscription term; current-term upgrade exceptions can be requested at support@iosdev.pro but are not automatic, guaranteed, or always available

Choose a plan and email support@iosdev.pro with the selected plan name and a link to the GitHub repository that needs Code Rescue. After invoice payment, invite @iOSDev-pro to that repository and assign @iOSDev-pro to at least one GitHub issue. New subscriptions are subject to onboarding review after those setup steps are complete; if we cannot take on the work, we fully refund the prepaid current term.

Questions founders ask before subscribing

Is this for a fully AI-built app?

Yes. This is for apps built mostly with AI agents, especially when the same bugs keep returning and the agent can no longer make reliable progress.

Do you rebuild the whole app?

Not by default. The goal is to find the smallest practical fix that stabilizes the app and gets development moving again.

What do you need to start?

Choose a plan and email support@iosdev.pro with the selected plan name and a link to the GitHub repository that needs work. After invoice payment, invite @iOSDev-pro as a collaborator to that same repository, create one or more issues describing what is broken, and assign the relevant issue or issues to @iOSDev-pro. Add anything useful to the issue: reproduction steps, screenshots, logs, AI notes, links to Loom or similar recordings, or what you expected to happen.

Is my source code confidential?

Yes. Source code, product details, business information, credentials, and unreleased app material are treated as confidential under our terms.

Do we need a call to explain the problem?

No. We intentionally work async only. Write the context in the GitHub issue, dictate it with speech-to-text, or attach a Loom, Tella, Screen Studio, QuickTime, or similar recording link. We review the material and continue through GitHub.

What happens when I cancel?

Your subscription stays active until the end of the paid term. After that, we stop work, remove @iOSDev-pro from repository access, and remove active working copies and project materials from our side where reasonably practical. To restart later, submit a new subscription request and invite @iOSDev-pro again.

What if the issue is bigger than I expected?

Some issues need more than one paid term to resolve. If that happens, we keep communicating in the GitHub issue with findings, diagnosis notes, planned work direction, and practical estimates. Estimates are not guarantees. You can keep the subscription active, upgrade to a higher tier for the next term, or cancel before the next renewal whenever you are satisfied with the progress made.

Can I upgrade my plan during the current term?

Plan upgrades normally start from the next subscription term so capacity stays simple to plan. If you need more capacity during the current term, email support@iosdev.pro. Exceptions are reviewed case by case and are not automatic, guaranteed, or always available.

What if I do not finish the GitHub setup?

If payment is complete but @iOSDev-pro has not been invited to the repository listed in the subscription request and assigned to at least one GitHub issue within 48 hours after purchase, we may cancel the subscription and fully refund the prepaid current term. We are not required to request missing setup steps, seek repository access, or ask for issue assignment before canceling. You can purchase again later when the repository and issue are ready.

Can you decline a new subscription?

Yes. The onboarding review starts after all three setup steps are complete: payment is complete, @iOSDev-pro has been invited to the target repository, and @iOSDev-pro has been assigned to at least one issue in that repository. From the latest of those three events, we review capacity and issue fit. If we cannot take on the work, we usually notify within a few hours during US business hours Mon–Fri and always within 48 hours, then cancel the subscription and fully refund the prepaid current term. This review happens before substantive work starts.

Do you guarantee the app can be fixed?

No. Some AI-built codebases need a larger rebuild. The promise is senior diagnosis, scoped rescue work, and a clear explanation of what is realistically fixable.
