Ever had to implement a very complex iOS app flow? For example... 👇
• The app is accessible without an account, but some content is locked behind permissions controlled by admins.
• If the user wants to access locked content and is not logged in, show the login screen with the option to create a new account.
• Once logged in, check if they have permission to access the content.
• If they have access, show the content.
• If not, show a flow for requesting permission to an admin...
• Some content may require additional flows, such as accepting terms and conditions...
And so on. Those flows can get really long and complex. And new rules may be added at any time. So if we don't manage the complexity well, we'll end up with huge classes with thousands of lines of messy code.
To become a complete senior iOS developer, you need to learn how to implement complex flows in a simple and maintainable way.
So watch this mentoring session now to learn how to design independent flows that are easy to implement, test, maintain, compose, and extend.

Have you ever had doubts or difficulty modularizing your iOS apps' architecture? For example... 👇
Should you separate your app vertically into feature modules?
Or maybe in horizontal layers like Models, Services, Views, etc.?
Or perhaps using a mixture of both horizontal and vertical slicing?
And which one will improve build times?
To become a complete senior iOS developer, you need to know when and how to extract your code into isolated modules that are easy to develop, test, compose, and maintain.
So watch this mentoring session now to learn when and how to use modularity to improve your codebase and your team's productivity.

Many iOS devs believe they will earn a raise or get paid more if they work longer hours. But it rarely works because... 👇
1) Your boss may not perceive your extra hours as extra work. They may not even know you're doing extra hours.
Worst yet... What if they get used to your extra delivery pace? It'll be hard to go back to the normal number of hours later as they'd think you "slowed down."
When the "extra hours" becomes the norm, you actually DECREASE your hourly rate because you have to work more hours to get paid the same.
2) Fatigue. You won't be able to sustain long hours forever, and the quality of your work will decrease over time. So chances of improving and getting a significant raise will decrease.
3) It doesn't scale. We all have only 24h a day with limited time to work - so you can't keep increasing your salary by working more hours forever.
A better way of increasing our income as iOS devs is to deliver more value with less effort.

Have you considered transitioning parts of your existing app using UIKit to SwiftUI? 👇
Many iOS devs and iOS teams have difficulties migrating because of custom flows used in the app, such as navigation and UI behaviors that aren't easily reproducible with SwiftUI.

"Should I extract my code into reusable components to avoid duplication?" 👇
Well, it depends...
Usually, yes. We don't want to duplicate UI code because every time we need to make a change, we'd have to remember to update it in EVERY duplicate component. And this is inefficient and error-prone.
But in large modular apps, we also don't want to couple all feature modules with a shared UI module. Otherwise, changing the shared module because of "Feature A" will also impact "Feature B" directly. This would also be inefficient because it would increase build times and require synchronization between feature teams.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Yes! There's a specific way of creating shared UI modules without increasing coupling between modules.
