AppForce1: news and info for iOS app developers: Recent Episodes

Jeroen Leenarts

Weekly podcast discussing the latest updates, tools and events relevant to iOS app developers. I will also have a couple of reoccurring show sections to spread the word on fellow iOS developers doing fun and interesting things. On top of that I am working hard to do interviews with people relevant to iOS app developers. Think peers, teachers, bloggers who will have an open discussion with me so you can see what passion, hard work and a great community can do for your personal work and success.

Jeroen shares his real-world iOS development journey working on a legacy app at Dawn Technologies. He details his systematic approach to modernizing an 8-year-old codebase that serves as a critical tool for companies.

• Breaking down a monolithic App Delegate into dedicated managers with single responsibilities
• Leveraging the existing feature flag system to safely deploy new implementations
• Refactoring the walkie-talkie functionality with real-time audio streaming over WebSockets
• Completely rewriting the chat system to use a modern service-based architecture
• Overhauling the location tracking system to use iOS 17's new async location tracking APIs
• Implementing WiFi settings fixes for iOS 16 compatibility using modern APIs
• Maintaining a cleanup branch to remove deprecated APIs and fix compiler warnings

Check out Do iOS, the iOS development conference I'm organizing later this year. Visit do-ios.com for more information and tickets - link in the show notes.

Join me in Amsterdam for Do iOS 2025, tickets and details available now.

Make sure to let me know what you think of this episode.

I completely refactored an audio system for a work app, splitting a single AVAudioEngine into separate engines for recording and playback. This architectural change fixed a bizarre bug where the system volume slider moved unexpectedly during audio operations.

• Split AVAudioEngine into separate recording and playback engines
• Fixed the MP Volume View movement issue by unifying audio session management
• Improved background task management for location tracking services
• Removed dead code and deprecated functionality
• Explored solutions for audio session conflicts, threading issues, and memory leaks
• Implemented dedicated dispatch queues for different audio operations
• Created a robust background task management system for location updates
• Added extensive logging to better understand audio session lifecycles

Looking ahead to SwiftUI integration, audio performance optimization, and iOS 26 compatibility testing. Do iOS 2025 is happening November 11-13 at NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam - check out do-ios.com for more information.

Shaun took me up on a request on Mastodon to come on my podcast.

We had a great conversation about how he ventured into management as a software developer. We also talk about how he got into software and iOS app development. Shaun took the React route. Start with web development, get started with React, progress into React native and then making the leap into native app development.

Ray Wenderlich, now called Kodeco was instrumental in learning about iOS app development.

You can get in touch with Shaun through Mastodon or his website.

I've been scheduling a few interviews again. It's interesting to see that people are often quite self-deprecating about being a good candidate to be interviewed on my podcast. People can always indicate why they are not exciting guests, but let's start at the opposite end. Think about why you would be a good guest for my podcast. And I notice that a lot. People often start with the negative. Why not start with the positive, I wonder?

In this episode I am going to talk about many things:

Minimal Node Integration to Get You Started with Stream
Merge Sort In Swiftif let shorthand syntax in Swift
Implementing “double tap tab bar to scroll to top”
Variadic Views

Natalia worked in companies in Europe and in New Zealand building web and mobile applications. Before joining Nil Coalescing she was designing and building SwiftUI APIs as a member of the core SwiftUI team at Apple. She enjoys working with Swift and sharing her iOS development knowledge with the community. She recently wrote a book Integrating SwiftUI into UIKit Apps that covers a variety of ways to add SwiftUI to an existing UIKit project and offers many tips to avoid common issues and mistakes when working with both frameworks at the same time.

This episode is something special. According to the stats of my podcast hosting provider, this is my 200th episode. And what a ride I had between this episode and my previous one. My last episode was published two and a half weeks ago. And a lot of things happened since then.

I was still preparing for Do iOS on November 3 and 4.
Had a weekend I kept going over my notes for Do iOS.
Then the Do iOS workshop started with Daniel Steinberg and I was collecting and bringing some of the material we needed for Do iOS to Amsterdam. For lunch, I stopped at the workshop to check in on things and talk to a few people to get the vibe of the crowd at the workshop. It was pretty good.
Then it was November 8. Do iOS day. I was the stage host the entire day, but we started with onboarding everyone at the door. I spoke a few words with all attendees at registration. Then an entire day of talks, making sure catering was taken care of, taking care of little issues. And making sure we kept a good pace. At the end we had a nice social drink with all attendees and a typical small Dutch snack.
Evening of the first conf day, we had a sort of casual diner, and it got a bit out of hand. We raided a restaurant and stressed out kitchen staff with such a big unannounced group. We smoothed this one over by indicating to prioritize other tables and to serve all my guest's food when ready. So we all ate a bit out of band with each other, but it actually allowed for people to listen fo

Counting down to Do iOS. At the time of this recording, I have almost two weeks to go, but it sure feels like it is happening tomorrow. Sending out messages to all attendees and speakers, making sure roll-up banners are ordered, putting together staff briefings for the Do iOS team and for the catering team, and preparing "filler" slides for when speakers are switching. Hotel bookings for team members. It is just a lot of small bits that all need to happen. I must say I feel very well organized and prepared. I think in large part that's due to my note-taking in Obsidian. Recently I showed what I have for notes to a colleague of mine and he was quite taken aback by the amount of stuff I write down. And I feel like I only capture half of all I want to capture.

My book: Being a Lead Software Developer

Full on prep mode for Do iOS by now. What is it. Just 5 or 6 weeks remaining. When I am preparing this episode, there were just 2 tickets remaining. So we will have a full house. I was also looking into putting together a workshop the day before the conference and that has now been put together thanks to the gracious support of Jeremy Barger. You might know him as TheSwiftNomad on Twitter. He is looking for people to take a look at his Swift Developer Academy. So take a look.

Articles in this episode:

Swift’s print(), debugPrint(), String(reflecting:), Mirror(reflecting:) and dump()
Side Projects: 10 Tips for being successful
Deadlocks in Swift explained: detecting and solving
How to manage lifecycle events in SwiftUI iOS applications

It is already two weeks since my previous episode. The one I did in the hotel room in Denver. It really feels like a distant memory already. So much stuff happened again in two weeks. My son's bedroom furniture got delivered. He now has a pirate themed bedroom, inclusing a shark desk, ship-bed / bed-ship and a treasure chest. I am not jealous at his room. Nope not at all. You can imagine we are now in a talk-like-a-pirate day streak here at home.

Last week my voice was quite bad, I had a weird cold that was not causing too much discomfort. Except for my voice. It was raspy and if I talked too much I was coughing a lot. Not ideal for a podcast recording. So I decided to skip. I had plenty of other things to do anyway. Like a conference…

I am super excited to announce that for Do iOS on November 8 and 9, tickets are available, we have the first 6 speakers announced.

360iDev has been an enjoyable experience thus far. I still have the final day of the conference ahead of me when I record this. But I must say, it is awesome seeing so many familiar faces. The weird thing is, I'm seeing most of them for the very first time in real life. Special shoutout to Josh, Azam, Mikaela and Leo. It is great to be able to meet you, for real finally. What I also noticed is how different the conferences are. I've been to AppDevCon, SwiftHeroes, Techorama.be and 360iDev this year and each had a totally different vibe. And each had its own strengths. Experiencing these conferences reaffirmed my resolve to push for another edition of the Do iOS conference in November. I got the first offer letter from a venue and am awaiting a second to ensure I get a good deal on the whole thing. A fun thing to know about organizing an event, the room is a small line item compared to the catering. Once I have the venue booked it is time to do some final number crunching and decide on a ticket price. It will probably be a lot lower than you might expect, which makes me super happy.

This episode I am talking to David Barnhard from the SubClub podcast.

Interviewing a fellow podcaster is always a blast. Not much audio cleanup todo once done.

David runs the SubClub podcast for RevenueCat. I reached out to David months ago and only just now did we get to a recording session. So this was set in motion long before the sponsorship a few weeks ago became a thing.

Make sure to check David's app business called Contrast as well.

Two weeks since my previous episode. I had my reasons. My family and I went on a trip visiting family in Luxemburg. We slept over monday till friday and I was just not able to record an episode.

Of those two weeks the first one was quite warm in the Netherlands. We actually had the first heatwave in the Netherlands this year. year. Nothing too terrible temperature wise, but the related drought is no fun. Again not as bad as other parts of the world, but it is noticable everywhere you go. Also, upstairs, where I record my podcast episodes is not a fun place to be with these temperatures.

As mentioned, the second week was family time, which was a really fun time. I got to spend the entire week with my family with dedicated attention without having work in he back of my mind too much.

Not thinking about work is hard right now. Only a few days from now I am travelling to Denver to visit 360iDev. I still want to do a lot of checks on my slides and presentation. I am going to be representing Stream there, so… No pressure, right?

Considering my travel plans for the next week, I am unsure how/when I will be able to do episode 89. I actually might do something with my DJI Mic while I am in the US. It sounds like a great opportunity to do some fun recordings that are immediatly usable for my podcast. Who knows. Keep an eye on my feed and you will not miss a thing.

Right after my vacation it was heads down mode again. At my work, we had a sort of restructuring of the group I am a part of. And this meant a lot of things have changed in how my day to day looks. I now lead developer experience at Stream within Developer Relations. This involved setting up a lot of project related things. From Developer Experience we work very closely with developer advocacy and because of this we chose to set up a shared task board. This way we can easily hand over work or share the workload for specific tasks.

I already had a lot of podcast work I needed to do last week, so I couldn’t fit a recording session for my regular episode. But, I do have a really cool special episode I did with Josh Holtz from RevenueCat. Keep an eye out for that one later this week. If all goes well, it should be done soon. For reasons I am not sharing yet, I put in some extra effort to the RevenueCat episode. I hope it will be an inspiring episode.

Shoutout to Jason Zurita for his article https://jasonzurita.com/the-hidden-cost-of-dependencies/

What are third party dependencies?
1. Explain the distinction between:
  1. 1st party, for iOS devs, anything in the iOS SDK.
  2. 2nd party dependencies, stuff integration from service provider you rely on. (You could call this a subset of 3rd party dependencies you really can not do without.)
  3. 3rd party, stuff you integrate because it saves your time or it is convenient
Risks with 3rd party code
How to find third party dependencies
Licensing an the app store
1. GPL is “difficult”
2. An Apache or MIT type license is reasonable
  1. If you are unsure, read up a bit on licenses. https://opensource.org/licenses
How to choose to adopt a dependency
1. Just link it won’t do
2. Review the dependency and project health on Github.
  1. What quality checks does the project have in place?
  2. How does the support by the dev(s) look to you?
  3. Would you pay for this feature set if it wasn’t available for free?
    1. If yes, WHY ARE YOU NOT SPONSORING THIS PROJECT?

Swift and SwiftUI received big updates last week. Yes, only available on beta releases. But give it a few months and we are living and breathing these changes.

I also liked a CarPlay article I stumbled upon. It is a really nice change of pace integrating something on CarPlay. A bit like venturing into AppleWatch or macOS for the first time.

I tried to order them in a logical way. Obviously there is a ton more news from Apple. But this is what I could fit in an podcast episode within reason.

During my intro I also mentioned the Swift Package Index. Check it out, I really love their recently added support for DocC generation and hosting.

Notes based on Stefan's companion blog post

Kindly share and like this to support us and the project:

Release tweet
Github repository
- Star the repo, it allows us to work on it
LinkedIn post about release
Mac App Store Link

The starting point?

Amos created tutorials around animations
- Spring animation tutorial
- Problem: How to test animation easing before using them in SwiftUI
- Solutions for web:
  - https://easings.net/
  - https://cubic-bezier.com/
Stefan created a little example with some controls that set parameters

How did we approach it?

Open-source
Start with the bare minimum
Include a few examples, add parameters to play around within a very simple UI
Amos created most of the animations
Stefan created the skeleton of the Mac app
Tested by people from our team (via TestFlight)
Similar app got released: Couverture

Future plans?

Move process to Github
See what people would like/contribute
More animation examples
Improve UX (Example: Timing curves - the ability to adjust control points with the control handles of the graph)

This Twitter Space Stefan and I share some thoughts on what options you have in storing data on a device and in the cloud on/from iOS.

1. What is the goal of this space?

We won’t give you exact recommendations, storage is highly dependent on maaaany factors!

Type of data to be stored (e.g. Booleans, Strings, Images, Large objects)
Volume of data to be stored (e.g. settings options, notes app that saves users notes, offline backup for social network data)
Needs to work offline?
Sensitive data (encryption, data privacy, GDPR)
Backed up?

2. What local options are there?

UserDefaults
- Most basic option for small settings data (recommended use from Apple)
- Optimised for UIKit + SwiftUI
- Only locally available
Simple local file (e.g. Text, JSON)
- More freedom to use a structure you want
- More risks because you have to handle all by yourself
Local database (e.g. SQLite)
- provides more powerful options for querying, etc.
- there are wrappers around it / libraries for easier usage
- you have to know what you’re doing
CoreData
- most powerful local option
- can have a steep learning curve
- gives you a lot of power and flexibility

3. What online options are there?

CloudKit
- Apple’s cross-platform solution
  - can but does not have to be used with CoreData
- Stefan: planning to use it for a side-project but haven’t used it before
- great to sync data between user’s devices: iOS/tvOS/iPadOS/macOS/watchOS
- limitation: only Apple ecosystem
- mixing reports: some people had syncing issues some didn’t
Firebase / Realm / AWS Amplify / Azure probably has a solution as well
- necessary for apps with collaborative features (or maybe as a convenience for account-functionality)
- platform-agnostic
  - share data between iOS/Android/Windows/Mac/Web
- be aware of something called “vendor lock-in”
- pricing is something to keep track of
  - there are horrible stories of people having incredibly high bills because of loops/bugs they had in their code
- you give up control for convenience
  - not a bad thing but important to keep in mind
Self-hosted via AWS / Google Cloud / Azure / Supabase / Roll your own solution

4. Some recommendations

Start small and work your way up
There are a lot of options out there, so not easy to find the correct one, but what helps is:
- Think about the type of data you want to store
- When does it need to be available (online vs. offline)
- How secure does the data need to be stored?

You might know about Benedikt through one of his confernce talks, or the podcast he did with Bas Broek. Anyways, he has done some interesting things in with Rust on iOS.

Oh and… “Basically, it just involves a crazy amount of brackets. So if you find Objective C offensive, then please do not look at Lisp code.”

I think it was me who said that and I do not know where I heard if first, but this line cracks me up every time I hear it.

My talk with Benedikt is an example of why I enjoy doing the interviews so much. So, thanks for that Benedikt.

This is a Twitter Space recording, so my audio sounds way worse compared to normal. But hey. It is good content regardless.

On January 26, Stefan Blos and I hosted a Twitter Space called “iOS Coffee Chat: Staying up to date with iOS development”.We hope to do more of these. This episode is the permanent archive of that Space.

Recommendations to get started?

Just try https://netnewswire.com/ (free) and add some website to it. If you want to look for (a lot) more feeds, go look at iosdevdirectory.com. Make sure not to overwhelm yourself when you get started with RSS readers. In the end it is just another inbox you probably want to keep at or close to zero. So build up gradually and do not be afraid to remove a feed if it is just too much.

The second approach is to sign up to a few newsletters listed in these notes, or (again) go look at iosdevdirectory.com for a lit of newsletter. And yet again, slow and steady beats signing up for all of them.

If audio is more your thing? Listen to my podcast (AppForce1). I will have a weekly episode with new articles of the week. I also have a digest newsletter containing the same links and links to all content I released over the week in some capacity.

Yuri Karabatov, author of "Junior to Senior, how to level up as a software engineer". We had a blast recording this. We even had to schedule a re-take for some content. It waschaotic. Yuri and I were going into tangents all over the place, this has been the longest and most challenging edit I have done thusfar. But the end result is amazing and really shows Yuri's personality and character. I hope you enjoy this as much as Yuri and I enjoyed making this.

We talk about how he decided to write a book, how he did it and what actually lead him up to the decision to start writing a book by himself.

You can reach Yuri on Twitter as @karabatov
