In this episode Alex and Sandeep react to WWDC 2022 Platform State of The Union. This is our very raw, unresearched reaction/opinion on what we heard on latest WWDC changes for iOS development. Some things are just emotions and unfiltered opinions, some are things we already looked into.

We'll be doing deep dives in other videos into some of the stuff we covered that we're not sure or don't know much about or stuff that deserves more attention.

Blocked by the backend? Use prod mocks.

hello@insideiosdev.com (Alex Bush, Sandeep Aggarwal) — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 12:48:54 +0000

In this episode Sandeep and Alex showcase how mocks can be used in production code to substitute upcoming unfinished or unreleased backend changes. They use dependency injection and Liskov Substitution Principle to inject a service object implementation that uses local hardcoded data instead of fetching it from the network.

Youtube Channel Announcement

hello@insideiosdev.com (Alex Bush) — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 03:50:51 +0000

I'm transitioning to Youtube! Don't worry, the podcast is not over :) I'll be making more and more screencast style videos instead of just audio podcast format. I'll still be having guest over and have conversations with them about the code and I'll be cross posting screencast episodes on the podcast as well.

This new direction will allow me to explain the concepts and showcase the code examples better as the audio format can only do so much.

Please hop on over to Youtube. You can find the channel here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6zcA3dAMUWN8E2_dlg_WyQ

Please share, like, and subscribe to it as it will greatly help me get this channel up and running. Hope to see and hear your feedback and have better content quality there. Let me know what you think and I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Cross-platform code sharing via C++ at Dropbox with Eyal Guthmann

hello@insideiosdev.com (Andrew Rohn, Alex Bush) — Thu, 19 Sep 2019 14:00:12 +0000

Recently, Dropbox published a blog illustrating the costs & overhead of using C++ to code share between iOS and Android. The author, Eyal Guthmann from Dropbox, joins us to elaborate more on the topic. Was the problem C++? Why couldn't Dropbox simply hire more C++ developers? Why not React Native or Flutter? Is cross platform mobile development simply not viable?

Interested in C++ or mobile development? Dropbox is hiring!
