What 100M+ downloads have taught us about iOS engineering.
12:30/13:10
As a top ten iOS app developer worldwide with 20+ apps used by millions, but developed by only a dozen iOS Engineers, we face unique technical challenges every day and we’re in a privileged position to learn by experience. In this session, we share the way we’ve come to architecting our iOS apps, using a thin layer of open source libraries we created in-house that are pulling the heavy load for us. We describe the state of the app and define the actions that can change it. Elegantly and robustly, the UI is automatically updated each time a new state is available, being always in sync.
