CURATED FROM THE COMMUNITY
At last year’s WWDC, I was interviewed shortly on camera by Paul Hudson. At the time, I had no clue why. Turns out: he was busy creating this amazing summary of what it’s like to attend WWDC in Cupertino.
Static vs. dynamic libraries: it’s a topic on its own. I didn’t know about partially loaded symbols until reading this post by Nezhyborets.
How does splitting up a monolith affect build time and binary size? Ryan shares the result of their refactoring with details and statistics.
I’m a big fan of OSLog and Diagnostics but didn’t know about the ability to fetch OSLog entries in-app! Keith Harrison explains how it works.
While I hope you won’t get questions like this during an iOS Interview, knowing the difference between dynamic and static dispatching is valuable. Well explained by An Tran.
