Sounds like this person needs to learn how to become an iOS developer. There is so many tutorials, guides and sample code out there and a very large portion of it is free.

No, it's no easy. No it might not be as fast as getting a seasoned developer, and yes the code might be poor but I hold to the belief if there something you can't find someone to do for you - figure it out and do it yourself.

As someone who's just recently started working on iOS, I agree. It's now relatively easy to get started with even if you don't have much background with stronger-typed, compiled languages, as there's no longer a need to deal with memory management anymore with reference counting.

The real challenge for me was finally deciding what project worked well as a mobile application, as I've wanted to learn for a very long time. Once I finally found one, the rest was relatively easy - although there's been an absurd amount of googling and subsequent browsing of StackOverflow (big surprise). Then again, I've been programming for over a decade now with plenty of OO and MVC experience, so Obj-C/Cocoa was largely just a syntax change rather than this giant new thing.
