iPhone App Creation Companies

September 17, 2009 4:30 PM

I have a Flash game that I'd like to port over to the iPhone but I don't have the time nor the patience to do it myself. Are their any companies out there that will develop the application for you, for a price?

I'm sure there are, but do you really realize what "price" means when it comes to contract programming?

30 years ago I worked as a contract programmer for $150/hour. Prices have only gone up since then.

Try eLance.

Loads of people charging $15/hr.

From experience, the number one thing you need to look for is good written command of English. Second thing is someone who will proactively ask questions to better understand your goals than just blindly implementing what you initially ask for.

I'll just link to a comment by schwa earlier today as he mentions a few links that might be useful. There's always Metafilter Jobs too.

Although I'm sure there are advantages to a native app over a flash one, is there a reason the flash game won't already work on the iphone? Does safari support flash? Maybe you've already tried it and it was unsatisfying?

@RustyBrooks The iPhone does not support Flash.
