Our team needs an **experienced** **iOS** **developer** to develop one of the screens for our app ReeCast (currently in development), to accelerate the current progress.
The screen UI is already designed and the specs for front-end/back-end interaction are described below.
ReeCast is an iOS app that will allow its users to enjoy their favorite content from the Internet (blogs, articles, transcripts...) in a clean, immersive and *distractionless* format. It offers the possibility of searching, discovering and following sources (webs, rss feeds, aggregators, Medium...) for the user to receive a personalized stream of articles to consume cluter-free. Think Feedly meets Pocket.
Additional details and documentation will be provided upon proposal acceptance.
This gig requires the contractor or agency to have a good grasp of Swift, iOS project architecture, xCode and Firebase.
## Documentation
The iOS project, as well as the data model, backend infraestructure and UX design, is fully documented in our [Product Documentation Wiki](https://www.notion.so/salinas/App-Documentation-e5ec45b59f134e9f85bd08c1994f1399).
The documentation also provides details on the tools, libraries and software used for its building.
You will be granted full reading access and setup as developer in the xCode project once the proposal is agreed upon.
## Work Request
The required work consists on the development of the Settings screen within the ReeCast app and partial development of some adjacent views, where the users will be able to setup different preferences for their interaction with the app.
**Specifically, the hired developer will be requested to:**
- Develop the main view per the UI specs (detailed in the Zeplin project)
- Implement some adjacent views with the detail of settings and its options. The detail on which should and should not be developed is contained in the attached spreadsheet.
Note: the vast majority just require an empty ViewController
- Implement the backend (Firebase Firestore) reflection for all these actions through its corresponding APIs (following the guidelines in the app documentation).
## Additional Considerations
- Please create a new Git branch named "SettingsScreenDev" for the undertaking of this job. DO NOT develop on the Master branch, as me and my team might be developing additional parts of the app while you work.
- Use XCode Storyboards, at least for the main settings view, as the project uses them (adjacent views can be fully code-based developed).
- Follow as much as possible the current app architecture: separation, modularity, APIs. we've been building the app following best practices and would like to keep it that way. You can check the extensive documentation provided to accomplish this.
- Please, comment all the code as you would see in the current status of the app.
- After developing the view, you will be responsible for completing the documentation of that specific part of the app, following the current structure.
- Considering our previous experience, we expect an good iOS developer to complete it end to end in about 5 to 6 hours of work. However, we will pay by the whole result, not the time.
## Candidate requirements
The successful candidate will match the following:
- Have a deep understanding of iOS development and be quick to understand third party code bases. Specifically, Swift 5 and XCode expertise is required.
- Have worked with Firebase and have a good understanding of its purpose and functioning.
- Be quick to understand app functioning and purposes from static UI designs and half-developed Swift codebase.
- Be a good communicator and hold professional fluency in English
## Timeframe & Fees
- The **proposed timeframe** for this work is **10 days** from the day of the offer acceptance (negotiable upon candidate qualifications).
- The **budget** allocated for this work is **150$** (negotiable upon candidate qualifications).
- If delivered successfully, further development opportunities for ongoing collaboration are highly likely.
## Others
- A Notion (free) account will be needed.
- We will require the successful candidate to electronically sign an standard NDA (Non-disclosure agreement) to prevent original code, designs and ideas to be shared without permission or stolen.
- Upon acceptance, please provide a valid email address for us to grant you temporary access to the services and repositories above.
