MenuI'm working on an iOS application that will need to have a server that will provide anonymity of data and posted content as well as the metadata.
The goal is to provide full privacy for users so it would be impossible to understand who is the author of content, his location, preferences or wether two users have communicated. How much would that cost and who is capable of doing this kind of work?

It's a bit difficult to give an estimate with the information provided.
I'm not sure if your question is related to adding privacy to an existing server code or you need the whole server side done. The later is significantly more cost and has an unknown scope based on only the info given.
You might also want to look at platforms like Parse and see if you could get all you need done there vs a custom server side system.
Happy to chat more on a call if you want to provide more info or have more detailed questions.
I currently host the backend of iOS apps for a client. I can forward you to the app developer who is also an iOS Development Guru (Recently featured by Techcrunch). I'm the host/Sysadmin for the backend of the apps but he will be able to answer the type of questions you have.
This can be handled fairly easily. The backend that accepts the content from users would not track any data related from the transmitting party.
From your post I can't tell if you'd still expect there to be user accounts or not, but to even provide an extra layer of anonymity, avoiding user accounts all together would be a good path to head down.
There are BaaS (Backend as a service) solutions that allow mobile developers store data in the cloud very easily. Some that I would recommend taking a look at are Parse (www.parse.com) and Azure (http://azure.microsoft.com/).
All that being said, without knowing any of the other details of what your app is supposed to do, it would be hard to provide a cost estimate. But I'd guess it would be on the lower-side of apps that require a remote backend.
If you want to talk more about this in greater detail, don't hesitate to set up a call.

I need new developers to finish my app due to problems. What do I need to know from the current app developers so I can advertise for a new company?
Unfortunately, in most cases where a transition occurs between contract developers prior to a shipped product, it's almost *always* the case that the new developer starts the code largely from scratch. When problems dictate a required transition to a new developer, it usually means that the previous developer left enough of a mess (in the codebase) that no good developer would want to try to waste your money and their time cleaning up the mess. Happy to talk with you about your current predicament and offer you advice based on more information.TW

Where Can I find more clients for iOS Development Jobs?
Have you tried AdWords and a website/landing page for you or your business? I know a company in Brazil that is doing exactly this: * They have a website/landing page setup that explains how they charge for the application and has a call-to-action button to ask for an evaluation of the project the client have * They have thought and described a way to evaluate projects roughly so that the client may have an idea of time / costs of the project * Their website has images of applications they have developed before in a portfolio They are doing great, actually they have more people asking them projects than they are able to develop and they started rejecting offers.AM

What is the best project management tool for a startup developing and scaling a mobile application?
I tried Basecamp, Jira, Unfuddle, Trello and PivotalTracker before for different projects which were developed with agile approach. All of them worked fine to me and I needed some time to setup my framework and processes there. I think it would be worth checking Trello or PivotalTracker which I personally like more than Basecamp because of better agile oriented structure.DL
