I am seeking an experienced iOS developer to build a native Swift app from scratch that communicates with a Zebra ZQ520 printer. The app will interface with a backend URL, receiving ZPL commands generated by an existing VB.NET (ASP.NET Web Forms) billing system. This application is intended for use by warehouse staff. Key Requirements: - Develop a native iOS app using Swift. - Enable the app to receive and display data from a specified URL. - Implement functionality to send ZPL commands to the Zebra ZQ520 printer. - Provide real-time status feedback from the printer to the app. - Include a print history log for tracking past printing activities. - Offer custom print settings to tailor the printing process. Ideal Skills and Experience: - Proficiency in iOS development using Swift. - Experience with Bluetooth communication, specifically with Zebra printers. - Familiarity with ZPL command language and printing processes. - Ability to integrate with backend systems, particularly those using VB.NET. - Strong understanding of user interface design for warehouse environments. - Experience implementing logging and customizable settings in mobile apps. This project is crucial for streamlining warehouse operations, and I'm looking forward to collaborating with a skilled developer to bring this app to life.

Hello, I offer a native Swift iOS app that pulls ZPL from your backend and prints to the Zebra ZQ520 over Bluetooth, with live printer status, logs, and customizable print settings. What I provide: Swift app from scratch: Clean UI for warehouse use (large targets, dark/light contrast), URL fetch to display payload, and secure storage of endpoint/auth. Zebra printing: Bluetooth discovery/pairing, send raw ZPL to ZQ520, printer state polling (ready, media out, battery), retry/backoff and user prompts. Real‑time feedback: Inline status toasts, error codes mapped to plain English, and printable test label/diagnostics. Print history: On‑device log (Core Data/SQLite) with filters, export to CSV, and optional server sync. Custom settings: Label size/profile presets, density/speed, copies, QR/barcode helpers, logo placement; per‑device profiles. Backend integration: Signed URL/headers, robust parsing of ZPL responses, idempotent print requests, and safe reprint guard. Security and ops: MDM‑ready build, offline queue, crash/analytics hooks, and role‑based feature toggles. Approach & Phase: Phase 1: Technical design, printer comms POC, pairing/print test, backend URL integration. Phase 2: Status callbacks, settings, history log, UX polish for warehouse flow. Phase 3: Edge cases (media/battery/errors), offline queue, CSV export, QA with your ZQ520. Handover: TestFlight build, source code, setup notes, and a 1‑page operator guide.

Hey, i will create a native ios application using swift and xcode as the development environment. the app will connect to the backend asp.net web forms system through secure api requests to retrieve zpl commands. once the commands are received, i will enable communication with the zebra zq520 printer through bluetooth using the zebra ios sdk, ensuring proper handling of connection, data transmission, and error states. the app will feature a simple warehouse-focused interface displaying the current print request, along with controls for custom print settings. printer status, including battery level and error notifications, will be fetched from the printer sdk and displayed on screen. a sqlite database will be used locally to log the print history so warehouse staff can track previous activities even offline. Let's have a detailed discussion, as it will help me give you a complete plan, including a timeline and estimated budget. I will share my portfolio in chat I look forward to hear from you. thanks Regards, Mughira

⚠ NO PAYMENT UNLESS YOU'RE SATISFIED ⚠ I will build a native Swift iOS app that fetches ZPL from your VB.NET backend, sends print jobs to the Zebra ZQ520 over Bluetooth, and presents real-time printer status, a searchable print history, and customizable print settings. The app will include secure backend integration (polling or webhook), robust ZPL parsing/validation, retry/self-healing for failed prints, and warehouse-friendly UI/UX with clear diagnostic feedback. I have hands-on experience with Zebra SDKs, Bluetooth (Classic & BLE), ZPL, and integrating mobile apps with legacy ASP.NET backends I'll instrument logs and telemetry for support and QA. Deliverables: production-ready Swift app, printer pairing + status flow, print history, settings panel, integration test plan, and full source + deployment instructions. Timeline estimate for an MVP (core printing, status, history, backend integration): \~4–6 weeks; I can scope a firm timeline after reviewing access and sample data. Do you use Bluetooth Classic (SPP) or BLE for the ZQ520 in your environment, and can you provide a sample ZPL snippet plus the backend URL/token for initial integration testing?
