I need a developer who can build a dedicated social-networking app for iPhone and iPad from the ground up. The core goal is to let users create profiles, connect with friends, and share content in real time, all within a clean, modern interface that follows Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines.

Key requirements
• Native iOS build using Swift and the latest Xcode.
• Account creation and secure sign-in (email, Apple ID, or social login).
• User profile page with editable avatar, bio, and link fields.
• Home feed to display posts from connections, supporting images and short text.
• Ability to like, comment, and follow/unfollow other users.
• Basic in-app messaging or chat so users can talk one-on-one.
• Push notifications for follows, comments, and messages.
• Simple admin console or Firebase console access for user management and moderation.
• Clean, modular code with clear documentation so future updates are straightforward.

Nice-to-have (optional, if time permits)
• Dark-mode support.
• Basic analytics integration (Firebase Analytics).

Deliverables
1. Xcode project with all source code.
2. Any third-party library licenses or attributions.
3. A brief README explaining setup steps, build instructions, and a feature overview.
4. TestFlight build ready for internal testing and App Store submission guidance.

I value clear communication and incremental builds; please outline your development timeline, recommended tech stack, and any past social-networking apps you’ve shipped on iOS.
