iOS Developer cover letter example
By Bhagirath Sheela, founder of JobCatch ·
This letter was drafted by JobCatch's cover-letter writer from the sample iOS Developer resume, for a plain posting for the role. It uses only what is already on the resume — the current job, its strongest bullets and the skills the posting asks for that the resume has. It invents nothing, which is why it is short.
The letter, as text
I am writing to apply for the iOS Developer position. I currently work as Senior iOS Developer at Tripnest Travel Tech.
Some of what I have done:
- Led the SwiftUI rewrite of a travel app's booking flow; conversion on iOS rose 12%.
- Raised the crash-free user rate from 98.9% to 99.8% by fixing threading issues with Swift concurrency.
- Built offline trip storage with Core Data, used by 70% of active users on flights.
The role asks for Swift, iOS development, REST APIs, Firebase, Unit testing and Git, which I have worked with.
I would welcome the chance to talk about how I could contribute. My resume is attached. Thank you for your time.
What to add for an iOS Developer role
Link your App Store app and mention any SwiftUI work. iOS roles are fewer, so show quickly that you have shipped on the platform.
Before you send it
- Name the company and, if you can find it, the hiring manager.
- Add one sentence on why this company: something specific you read about it.
- Keep it under one page, and send it as a PDF with the same name and contact line as your resume.
What to leave out
- Adjectives about yourself — "passionate", "results-driven", "hardworking". Facts do that job better.
- Your whole resume again. Pick the two or three things that matter most for this job.
- Salary, notice period and personal details, unless the posting asks for them in the letter.
