A summary line and three bullets for each stage. The people and companies are fictional; the shape is what to copy: what you built, with which stack, and what changed.

Common mistakes on ios developer resumes
- No App Store link or demo video for the apps you list.
- Listing SwiftUI and UIKit without saying which you used for what.
- Leaving out architecture, testing and performance work, which senior interviews focus on.
- Long lists of Apple frameworks you have only read about.

Questions
- What skills should an iOS developer put on a resume?
- Swift, SwiftUI and UIKit, an architecture such as MVVM, async/await or Combine, networking and persistence (Core Data or SwiftData), testing with XCTest, and App Store releases.
- How does an iOS fresher write a resume?
- Lead with one app you published or can demo on a device. Link the App Store listing or a screen recording and the repository.
- Should I mention Objective-C on an iOS resume?
- Yes if you have maintained Objective-C code; many large apps still have some. Do not lead with it.
- Should an iOS resume be one page?
- Yes for under five years of experience.
- How do I check my ios developer resume against a job description?
- Paste your resume and the job description into the free ATS resume checker. It shows which technical keywords from the posting your resume has and which are missing. No login, and nothing is uploaded.
