## What it is
A curated guide of interview questions for hiring iOS developers and designers, inspired by the Front-end Job Interview Questions format. It also serves as a self-test resource for candidates preparing for interviews or keeping their skills current.

## Use cases
- prepare for an iOS developer interview
- find questions to ask when hiring an iOS developer
- self-test my iOS knowledge to stay current
- interview questions for mobile designers
- adapt iOS interview questions for Android candidates
- review iOS fundamentals like the responder chain and app lifecycle

## When to choose
- you are hiring or interviewing for iOS developer or designer roles
- you want a free, community-curated question bank covering general, technical, coding, UI, and App Store topics
- you want a quick self-assessment checklist of iOS knowledge areas

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date questions covering modern Swift, SwiftUI, or recent iOS versions, as the content has not been updated since 2017
- you need a structured course or interactive practice platform rather than a static question list
- you are hiring for backend, web, or non-mobile roles
