Backend-driven native UIs

Backend-drive native UIs John Sundell  Slide Share Using Back-End Design to Create Customizable Front-End Mobile Experiences By controlling the front end of mobile apps from the back end we can build customized experiences at runtime, creating cleaner interfaces and reducing load times. Nithin Rao UX Magazine The Hub Framework Welcome to the Hub Framework - a toolkit for building native, component-driven UIs on iOS ( no Android support released yet ). It is designed to enable teams of any size to quickly build, tweak and ship new UI features, in either new or existing apps. It also makes it easy to build backend-driven UIs. The Hub Framework has two core concepts - Components & Content Operations. Spotify LeeGo: Build UI without UIView LeeGo is a lightweight Swift framework that helps you decouple & modularise your UI component into small pieces of LEGO style's bricks, to make UI development declarative, configurable and highly reusable.

UI Automation

There is a known issue when using the performTaskOnHost API in a UI Automation script. If the task being performed with the API outputs excessively (say, thousands of lines of text) to standard out or standard error, the task may deadlock until the timeout is reached, at which point it will throw a javascript exception. The lock() and unlock() functions of UIATarget have been replaced with the lockForDuration( ) function. Starting in iOS 5 beta 2, you can now trigger the execution of an UI Automation script on an iOS device from the host terminal by using the instruments tool. The command is: instruments -w device id -t template application When using the cli instruments for UI Automation you can now target the default Automation Template and pass the script and results path into the tool as environment variable options. For example: instruments -w device_id -t /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/...

Microservice Micro-Feature architecture for mobile Apps

RIBs is the cross-platform architecture framework behind many mobile apps at Uber. The name RIBs is short for Router, Interactor and Builder, which are core components of this architecture. This framework is designed for mobile apps with a large number of engineers and nested states. The RIBs architecture provides: Shared architecture across iOS and Android. Build cross-platform apps that have similar architecture, enabling iOS and Android teams to cross-review business logic code. Testability and Isolation. Classes must be easy to unit test and reason about in isolation. Individual RIB classes have distinct responsibilities like: routing, business, view logic, creation. Plus, most RIB logic is decoupled from child RIB logic. This makes RIB classes easy to test and reason about independently. Tooling for developer productivity. RIBs come with IDE tooling around code generation, memory leak detection, static analysis and runtime integrations - all which improve developer product...

React Native and how to (partly) integrate it in your native app

React Native React Native lets you build mobile apps using only JavaScript. It uses the same design as React, letting you compose a rich mobile UI from declarative components. React Native uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps. You just put those building blocks together using JavaScript and React. With Hot Reloading, you can even run new code while retaining your application state. React Native combines smoothly with components written in Objective-C, Java, or Swift. React Native Currently it's full monty or none: Either you use React Native completely for you app or you can't use it at all, e.g. for a single widget or screen. If you face the same situation take a look at: Electrode Native: The Platform For Integrating React Native Into Your Apps Electrode Native offers a streamlined integration of React Native into existing mobile applications. With Electrode Native, there will no longer be a need for an en...

iPad HTTP Debugging with Charles

After noticing that the caching in iPad Safari seemed a little funky, I made an effort to decipher some of the logic used by the browser cache. I didn’t get very far, but in the process I figured out how to route my iPad HTTP traffic through a web debugger on my laptop. It turns out it was very easy to do (although I’m sure there is a more complicated way to go about it). What follows is a simple step-by-step for connecting your iPad to an HTTP debugging proxy. The main requirement is that your desktop/laptop and iPad be on the same wireless network. Then it’s just a matter of telling your iPad to use your desktop as an HTTP proxy. iPad HTTP Debugging with Charles
