Audit Baseline

Findings are mapped against Apple's own references: SwiftData, CloudKit, App Store Review Guidelines, and App Privacy Details. The audit is not generic best-practice advice; it checks how your codebase lines up with the documented Apple platform constraints you eventually have to ship under.

What the audit covers

Every audit covers the full system — not just the code, but the decisions that shape how the code evolves. The output is a prioritized findings report that distinguishes structural risks from code-quality issues.

System architecture

Layer separation, module boundaries, dependency direction, and structural patterns that create coupling or scaling constraints.

Data layer and sync strategy

Core Data or SwiftData schema design, CloudKit sync configuration, conflict resolution strategy, and local-first vs cloud-first tradeoffs.

AI readiness

Evaluation of the codebase against on-device AI integration requirements — Core ML model storage, inference result persistence, background processing, and Foundation Models compatibility.

Performance and memory

Profiling with Xcode Instruments to identify memory pressure, main-thread blocking, launch latency, and Neural Engine utilization gaps.

App Store compliance

Static review of signing configuration, entitlement setup, Watch/Widget target dependencies, App Store Review Guidelines risk areas, and privacy disclosures expected by Apple's App Privacy Details flow.

Codebase structure

File organization, naming consistency, test coverage gaps, and patterns that create onboarding friction or slow feature development.

How it works

1

Codebase access and intake

Read-only repo access and a short async intake form. No discovery call required — the audit begins the same day.

2

Architecture and data layer review

System architecture, state management, data schema, sync strategy, and layer separation reviewed against production iOS engineering standards.

3

AI readiness and performance analysis

On-device AI integration assessment using Core ML and Apple Foundation Models criteria. Instruments profiling for performance and memory.

4

App Store compliance check

Signing, entitlements, target structure, and Review Guidelines risk areas reviewed before they cause a rejection cycle.

5

Report delivery and 90-minute walkthrough

Written report with prioritized findings on day 5. Live session to walk through each issue, discuss implementation options, and answer questions.

Who this is for

Good fit

  • Teams with an existing iOS/Apple platform codebase
  • Funded startups preparing to scale their engineering team
  • Products planning on-device AI integration
  • Apps with performance, sync, or scaling issues
  • Pre-acquisition technical due diligence

Not a fit

  • Idea stage with no existing code — start with the MVP Sprint
  • Looking for ongoing hourly code review
  • React Native or cross-platform projects

Common questions

Does my app need to be on the App Store?
No. The audit requires an existing codebase, but the app does not need to be live. Pre-launch products benefit significantly from a review before scaling the team — it's cheaper to fix structural issues before they're embedded in multiple features.
What do you need from me to start?
Read-only repository access (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) and a short async intake covering the product context, known pain points, and target Apple platforms. No discovery call is required — the audit begins immediately.
How is this different from a code review?
A code review examines individual lines and patterns. An architecture audit examines the system as a whole: how layers interact, where data flows, and how decisions in one area constrain future work. The deliverable is a prioritized roadmap with architectural recommendations — not a list of code comments.
What is AI readiness evaluation?
Assessment of whether the app's architecture can support on-device AI features without a structural rewrite. Covers data model compatibility with inference result storage, background processing patterns, Core ML and Apple Foundation Models API compatibility, and OS version deployment target constraints.
