About My Fifo Life
We're launching an innovative app for Australia's FIFO (Fly-In, Fly-Out) mining workforce, helping workers manage their unique work schedules, credentials, and wellness needs. Our PWA is already built and functional on Replit - we need an experienced developer to take it to the iOS App Store.

Primary Tasks:
- Convert existing PWA to native iOS app using Capacitor or similar framework
- Configure iOS-specific features (app icons, splash screens, permissions)
- Set up iOS build pipeline and development certificates
- Prepare App Store submission materials (metadata, screenshots, descriptions)
- Test app functionality on iOS devices and simulators
- Submit to Apple App Store and handle review process
Technical Requirements:
- Maintain existing functionality while optimizing for native performance
- Ensure touch-friendly UI components work correctly on iOS
