What are the skills to look for while hiring an iOS developer?

Being an iOS developer, it is imperative to understand the ins and outs of Swift language. It's the primary language used for iOS application development. However, an experienced iOS developer must have a fair understanding of both the programming languages, Objective-C and Swift, as Objective-C is still prevalent in legacy codebases.
2. Understanding of code versioning tools (such as Git, Mercurial, or SVN)
Software development is incomplete without the knowledge of code versioning tools. Popular versioning tools such as Git, SVN, Mercurial, etc. help developers control each step in the iOS application development process. Companies that hire the best iOS programmers with adequate knowledge of working with such platforms can efficiently scale their projects.
3. Familiarity with Core Data and database management
An expert iOS developer must have knowledge of Core Data, Apple's framework for data persistence and object graph management. Companies must hire iOS developers with proficiency in working with Core Data, including data fetching, entity modeling, and relationships. Plus, experience in integrating with other databases like Realm, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, and SQLServer, is valuable too.
