I love developing new iOS apps and create new products. However, regardless of the project, it often need a team to mix the required skills: design, coding, marketing. Although, this less and less true, so let’s see how to bootstrap your iOS app.
For years now, the whole iOS community has written content about the best way to improve or replace the Apple MVC we all started with, myself included. MVC, MVVM, MVP, VIPER? Regardless the type of snake you have chosen, it’s time to reflect on that journey.
After introducing how to implement Coordinator pattern with an MVVM structure, it feels natural for me to go further and cover some of the blank spots of Coordinator and how to fix along the way.
I was recently searching for onboarding journey in iOS, that succession of screens displayed at the first launch of a freshly installed mobile app. But regardless how beautiful the design can be, why so many people are tempted to skip it. I listed things to consider while creating an onboarding journey for your iOS app.
Apple introduced in iOS8 trait variations that let developers create more adaptive design for their mobile apps, reducing code complexity and avoiding duplicated code between devices. But how to take advantage of variations for UICollectionView?
This post will cover how to setup variations via Interface Builder as well but also programatically, using AutoLayout and UITraitVariation with a UICollectionView to create a unique adaptive design.
I recently implemented 3D touch for an app and I was very interested about home screen quick actions. If it can be a good way to improve user experience, it doesn’t mean your app always needs it. In this article, I explain how to add home screen shortcut for your app in Swift but mostly why can justify implementing it.
If you care about user experience, error handling is a big part you have to cover. We can design how an mobile app looks like when it works, but what happen when something goes wrong. Should we display an alert to the user? Can the error stay silent? And mostly how to implement it the best way with your current design pattern? Let’s see our options while following MVVM pattern.
