iOS-factor by krausefx - A blueprint for setting up a maintainable iOS project



iOS-factor was inspired by the famous twelve-factor app framework, a methodology to write high-quality web services. iOS-factor uses the same structure and similar principles, re-written and applied to the iOS app development processes.

Topics covered:

  1. Dependencies
  2. Config
  3. Dev/prod parity
  4. Deployment
  5. Prefer local over remote
  6. Backwards compatible APIs
  7. App versioning
  8. Persistence of data
Great read even to improve your existing setup!



I would add some words about
  • testing
    • unit tests
    • UI tests
    • device farms
  • continuous integration
  • A/B-Testing
  • Monitoring & Alarming
  • Tracking
We are using Travis CI, but I would recommend havva look at Google Firebase and Microsoft App Center as well!
