SiriKit SiriKit enables your iOS apps and watchOS apps to work with Siri, so users can get things done using just their voice. Your content and services can be used in new scenarios including access from the lock screen and hands-free use. Apps adopt SiriKit by building an extension that communicates with Siri, even when your app isn’t running. The extension registers with specific domains and intents that it can handle. For example, a messaging app would likely register to support the Messages domain, and the intent to send a message. Siri handles all of the user interaction, including the voice and natural language recognition, and works with your extension to get information and handle user requests. Apple Developer Adding Voice Capabilites Voice actions are an important part of the wearable experience. They let users carry out actions hands-free and quickly. Wear provides two types of voice actions: System-provided These voice actions are task-based and are built into ...

Last year, the designers at Vitamins, a design studio in London, took some time to build something for themselves. What they needed was a way to keep track of all their various projects. It had to be big and visual and easy to use in person but also accessible online. Their solution? A wall-sized calendar made entirely of Lego bricks that syncs with Google automatically via smartphone screenshots. Wired

MockServer can be used for mocking any system you integrate with via HTTP or HTTPS (i.e. services, web sites, apps , etc). MockServer can: return a "mock" response when a request matches an expectation forward a request when the request matches an expectation (i.e. a dynamic port forwarding proxy) execute a callback when a request matches an expectation, allowing the response to be created dynamically verify requests have been sent (i.e. as a test assertion) MockServer

Introduction to Android Espresso Testing and Spoon Espresso UI test automation framework is Google’s de-facto testing platform for Android app developers. No test engineer or developer will be quite unless it validates the functionality of his app on multiple devices and emulators. For that, there is another widely used tool called Spoon (there are also cloud-based solutions as mentioned above that support parallel execution on real devices). This tool, will collect all the target devices (that are visible via adb devices) test results and aggregate them into one HTML view that can be easily investigated. Mobile Testing Blog Android Test Sharding The test runner supports splitting a single test suite into multiple shards, so you can easily run tests belonging to the same shard together as a group, under the same Instrumentation instance. Each shard is identified by an index number. When running tests, use the -e numShards option to specify the number of separate shards to cr...

Firebase Remote Config is a cloud service that lets you change the behavior and appearance of your app without requiring users to download an app update. When using Remote Config, you create in-app default values that control the behavior and appearance of your app. Then, you can later use the Firebase console to override in-app default values for all app users or for segments of your user base. Your app controls when updates are applied, and it can frequently check for updates and apply them with a negligible impact on performance. Firebase Remote Config

Introducing Firebase Performance Monitoring Monitoring performance from the end user's point of view - both app code performance and network responsiveness/reliability - is a challenge for building great mobile apps. You have to be able to understand conditions that need improvement, in order to avoid user churn and negative reviews. Conversely, we have seen that 60% of 5-star reviews on Google Play mention speed, design or usability. This is why we built Firebase Performance Monitoring for iOS and Android. It provides an SDK to capture and instrument performance metrics in production, and a console to gain insights about the data captured by the SDK.

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...

Caching POST requests  When a client (web browser) wants a regular resource (eg a HTML document or an image) from a web server, it will make a GET request to the server. In a default installation, Varnish will cache such requests, and this will lessen the load on the conventional web server. When a user logs in to a site, or provides some unique or private information, this will be done through a POST request. By default, Varnish will not cache POST requests, but pass them directly to the backend server, unmodified. This is typically a good idea, but sometimes it makes sense to also cache POST requests. When two different users use POST towards a web server, we only want them to receive the same reply if they supplied the same request body. The solution is to make the request body a part of the hash, and let the normal caching logic happen. The result is that only clients who supply the same body will receive the the same reply. This tutorial describes the steps needed to c...

You can ask users to rate and review your app at appropriate times throughout the user experience. Make the request when users are most likely to feel satisfaction with your app, such as when they've completed an action, level, or task. Give users an easy way to provide feedback on the App Store without leaving your app using the SKStoreReviewController API . You can prompt for ratings up to three times in a 365-day period . Apple App Store Ratings and Reviews When you call SKStoreReviewController.requestReview() while your app is still in development mode, a rating/review request view is always displayed so that you can test the user interface and experience. However, this method has no effect when you call it in an app that you distribute using TestFlight . Apple Developer Documentation

Texture Texture is an iOS framework built on top of UIKit that keeps even the most complex user interfaces smooth and responsive. It was originally built to make Facebook's Paper possible, and goes hand-in-hand with pop's physics-based animations — but it's just as powerful with UIKit Dynamics and conventional app designs. More recently, it was used to power Pinterest's app rewrite. As the framework has grown, many features have been added that can save developers tons of time by eliminating common boilerplate style structures common in modern iOS apps. If you've ever dealt with cell reuse bugs, tried to performantly preload data for a page or scroll style interface or even just tried to keep your app from dropping too many frames you can benefit from integrating Texture.

If you increase pricing, you can either maintain the current price for existing subscribers or apply the price change for all users. As you go through the workflow outlined in Making Price Changes to Auto-Renewable Subscriptions, you can choose whether to apply the price increase to all subscribers. As of iOS 10.0, if you decide to increase prices for existing subscribers, Apple will notify the subscribers of the price increase, along with the date they will be charged the new price. They’ll need to agree to the new price before they're charged. If they don't agree, their subscription won't automatically renew. Note that price preservation is only available when you increase pricing; not when you decrease pricing. Price decreases will be immediately applied to all subscribers paying a price higher than the one you set. Apple Developer Documentation

In this post, I try to explain why using Redux with Swift is better idea [than MVVM]. What is Redux and Unidirectional Data Flow? Redux is a flux implementation but slightly better implementation, it makes your application’s state more predictable. It first came out in Javascript world as a predictable state container for JavaScript apps with the powerful javascript library React. Redux, simply makes your application’s state in single store object. So firing an action from your application/in view’s lifecycle state changes and your reducers for that action generate a new state. Seyhun Akyürek at Medium Replacing Redux in Swift with something better Being a fantastic framework for development doesn’t come without a cost. Every time you update internal state in Redux, the entire interface re-renders. This isn’t a huge deal in most cases. But eventually you might have a situation where one update to state needs to be instantaneous (like using the keyboard shortcut to move f...

We at WeltN24 were facing the problem that two libraries that we integrated in our iOS project, used the same sub-library which resulted in naming conflicts due to the non-existing namespaces in Swift. If you know what you are doing you can try to solve this conflict by extracting the shared sub-library from one of the libraries you want to integrate. You can even do this if you don't have access to the source code using the lipo (create or operate on universal files) and ar (create and maintain library archives) commands. Why you should know what you are doing? Manipulating unknown archives can result in unforseen effects because of the fact that you don't know anything about how the provider of the archive uses the sub-library, which version of the library was used or if the source code of the library was manipulated. So... You should know what you are doing manipulting archives :) The script is processing the files in following order: Extracting architecture slice...

While the buzz around newly released Apple framework is loud, I want to explain several things, that may not be obvious for those who are new to machine learning (ML). Core ML is not a machine learning framework. Core ML supports only two types of ML. If your models are proprietary or contain sensitive information, you can’t use CoreML. Core ML doesn’t solve the privacy concerns. Core ML doesn’t compress models. Core ML is not the only way to do machine learning on iOS. Learn Machine Learning, not Core ML. Impervious Invisibility Google’s AutoML lets you train custom machine learning models without having to code TechCrunch

Apple is putting an end to the scourge of review prompts that seemed to pop up inside of some apps every few days. In a change to the App Store rules this week, Apple said it will now enforce hard limits on how review prompts show up and how often users have to see them. First, apps will be required to use a new Apple-made review prompt, which allows users to leave a rating without exiting an app. An app can only display the prompt three times a year, regardless of how often it’s been updated. Part of the reason developers have their apps show review prompts so often is because Apple has always reset an app’s rating after every update, even very minor ones. With the redesigned App Store, developers will have the option to change that, so that their app’s ratings are maintained between updates. And if you release a major new version that drastically changes the core features of your app, you can press the big button to reset the App Store ratings. The Verge

April 11, 2017 TestFlight in iTunes Connect now provides multiple build support, enhanced group capabilities, and improved tester management—making it even easier to test your apps. Multiple Builds TestFlight now lets you distribute and test multiple builds at the same time, so testers can choose from a number of builds to test. Groups TestFlight groups have changed. You can now do more with them, like create groups of TestFlight users, and each group can test a different build. To get you started, we’ve added all of your existing external testers to the group “External Testers,” which you can edit at any time. Tester Management Testers can continue testing a build when it goes live on the App Store, minimizing disruptions. iTunes Connect users can also access all active builds, letting them seamlessly compare different builds and you can easily resend invitations to testers who have not yet accepted their invitation.

Everybody who hires in the software industry complains about how hard it is to find good QA people. It’s no wonder, considering how little we respect them and how little we pay them. Testers are power users on the inside of your team, but nobody listens to them because nobody respects them. Make the QA lead the equal of the Design and Dev Leads in your hierarchy. Give the QA Lead line management over the QA team. It is weirdly commonplace for the QA team, including the QA Lead, to be line managed by the Dev Lead. Tracy Rolling

Firebase App Indexing gets your app into Google Search. If users have your app installed, they can launch your app and go directly to the content they're searching for. App Indexing reengages your app users by helping them find both public and personal content right on their device, even offering query autocompletions to help them more quickly find what they need. If users don’t yet have your app, relevant queries trigger an install card for your app in Search results. App Indexing lets Google index your app just as if it were a website. For users with your app installed, deep links to your app - on Android or iOS - appear in Google Search results, allowing users to find exactly the right content within your app. In addition to driving re-engagement, App Indexing on Android will also surface install buttons for users who do not yet have your app installed. Since 1 in 4 appsare already being discovered through search, App Indexing is a simple and free method for acquiring new u...

Have you ever thought when writing or maintaining UI tests, there must be a better way? Take a look at screenshot tests provided by Google Firebase and Facebook: ios-snapshot-test-case A "snapshot test case" takes a configured UIView or CALayer and uses the renderInContext: method to get an image snapshot of its contents. It compares this snapshot to a "reference image" stored in your source code repository and fails the test if the two images don't match.

It's been one year since we open-sourced React Native. What started as an idea with a handful of engineers is now a framework being used by product teams across Facebook and beyond. Today at F8 we announced that Microsoft is bringing React Native to the Windows ecosystem, giving developers the potential to build React Native on Windows PC, Phone, and Xbox. It will also provide open source tools and services such as a React Native extension for Visual Studio Code and CodePush to help developers create React Native apps on the Windows platform. In addition, Samsung is building React Native for its hybrid platform, which will empower developers to build apps for millions of SmartTVs and mobile and wearable devices. We also released the Facebook SDK for React Native, which makes it easier for developers to incorporate Facebook social features like Login, Sharing, App Analytics, and Graph APIs into their apps. In one year, React Native has changed the way developers build on every major...

The flipped testing pyramid has no stable foundation and mobile testing requires lots of manual testing, which is why I created my own mobile test pyramid consisting of four layers including manual and automated steps. The biggest layer of the pyramid is manual testing and forms the strong foundation for every mobile app project, followed by end-to-end testing, beta testing and a top layer comprising unit testing. The grey parts of the pyramid indicate the automated steps and the white parts are the manual testing steps. The beta-testing layer is new to the pyramid but essential to every mobile app project.

JavaScript Support Transpile to JavaScript Use node.js, CommonJS and AMD Import TypeScript Use other libs Coroutines Technically, coroutines are light-weight means of cooperative multi-tasking (very similar to fibers). In other words, they are just much better threads: almost free to start and keep around, extremely cheap to suspend (suspension is for coroutines what blocking is for threads), very easy to compose and customize. We designed coroutines for maximum flexibility: very little is fixed in the language, and very much can be done as a library. The kotlinx.coroutines project features libraries on top of Rx, CompletableFuture, NIO, JavaFx and Swing. Similar libraries can be written for Android and JavaScript. Even many built-in constructs available in other languages can now be expressed as Kotlin libraries. This includes generators/yield from Python, channels/select from Go and async/await from C# JetBrains
