Development
The worst possible application
What does the worst mean to you? Maybe you don’t completely agree with this interpretation of the worst, but it’s definitely up there. Can you point out all the flaws without looking at the final implementation?
Leveraging frameworks to speed up our development on iOS - Part 1
Reasons for as well as pros and cons of project modularization. An approach definitely worth considering, especially for large teams and comparable codebases.
iOS Architecture: A State Container based approach
The goal of this blog post is to show the architecture that the iOS team at Jobandtalent has been developing over the last few months. It’s an architecture that leverages Swift, value types, generics, sum types, and some React Native experiences. It works for them and it might work for you as well.
Throttling is basically a mechanism that restricts the amount of scheduled work and may become spare. No matter what scenario you think of, this idea should pass the test.
Hey Siri: An On-device DNN-powered Voice Trigger for Apple’s Personal Assistant
Apple once again shares some details related to artificial intelligence. This time their engineers describe how the “Hey Siri” detection works across multiple platforms.
How To Manage Plist Files With PlistBuddy
An introduction to Apple’s PlistBuddy tool, which lets you manage the content of the plist files from the command line.
Using Xcode Configuration (.xcconfig) to Manage Different Build Settings
Managing multiple versions of an application is hard. Questions appear: should we use conditional building? Or rather create additional targets? There is a third way: Xcode configuration files.
Tools
A nifty little tool that points out the exact difference between two instances.
An easy-to-use implementation of charming cards from the new App Store.

This week is filled to the brim with things to read, some to peek at, each and one of them highly worth checking out. Enjoy bits about architecture, security and open source, latest conferences releases, iOS UI/UX stuff, and more!
Development
Guide for everyone who wants to start with open source and create his first project, for free, with code available publicly for everyone to look at. Great tips by John Sundell who already has several open source projects on GitHub.
iOS Privacy: steal.password - Easily get the user’s Apple ID password, just by asking
Next article in the series of iOS Privacy from Felix Krause. This time he found a way for phishing user’s Apple ID password.
How to write a simple real-world app based on the MVVM
In-depth tutorial about implementing MVVM architecture in an actual iOS application. The author faced same problems you would face and yet comes away unscathed. It should clear some of your doubts about this recently glorified architecture.
Xcode’s project structure from the ground. Cocoapods and Carthage can be a block box to some. If you want to know how those tools resolve dependencies, then read it. Pedro Piñera made a great work.
They’re everywhere, if any app you’re using happens not to support them, most probably you’ll be disappointed. Take a second to ask yourself how do you handle them? If the answer is nothing to be proud of, it’s time to change it with Ilya.
Code
Kryption - Secure, live messaging app
Nothing to add, check it out yourself. 🚀
A new architecture for big and complex iOS apps. Looks interesting, but Configurator as a singleton worries me.

iOS 11: Suggesting A better Control Center
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one struggling with a WiFi network connection. If we become loud enough, they should hear us in Cupertino. 📢
Business
A lot of companies are “doing Agile” instead of “being Agile”. The difference is not that easy to see, but John Cutler explains it nicely (with images 😎).
We fired our top talent. Best decision we ever made.
A great story teaching us how important is teamwork and communication. If there is one thing you should take from it, note that even masterpiece-like code will loose against maintainability if not documented and tested extensively.
Video
Functional Swift Conference Fall 2017
Functional Swift presentations are here. 💃 Check out another perspective of looking at Swift. ☣️ Warning! Highly addictive and inspiring materials.
I think we all know this well, new architecture supported by a ton of tweets and rapidly growing amount of blog posts. And yet you seem to miss the opportunities it proposes, because it’s not easy to see its purpose in an iOS application. You’re not alone, someone finally said it out loud!
