Scalable architecture for mobile apps
#1about 5 minutes
Understanding the unique challenges of mobile apps at scale
Problems like time zone bugs only appear when an app reaches millions of users, highlighting unique mobile development challenges.
#2about 4 minutes
Managing features with flags, A/B tests, and canary releases
Use feature flags to toggle functionality, but maintain them like a garden to avoid technical debt and testing complexity.
#3about 5 minutes
Strategies for reproducing and fixing difficult mobile bugs
Ensure bugs are reproducible by providing tools to mock location or API data and by logging non-fatal exceptions.
#4about 2 minutes
Designing user experiences beyond the standard app loop
Extend the app's UX with background tasks, widgets, voice assistant integrations, and interoperability with other apps.
#5about 4 minutes
Building offline-ready apps with a robust caching strategy

Implementing and testing push notifications effectively
Understand that push notifications have separate server-side (push) and client-side (notification) components which can be used independently.
#7about 3 minutes
Solving deep linking challenges with third-party solutions
Use third-party services and standard HTTPS links for deep linking to handle cross-browser complexity and avoid namespace conflicts.
#8about 2 minutes
Managing mandatory app updates for users
Implement a mechanism for suggested or forced app updates early in development to handle breaking changes or security patches.
#9about 3 minutes
Integrating accessibility from the start of development
Make apps accessible from day one by adding accessibility strings, using scalable fonts, and testing with tools like VoiceOver.
#10about 2 minutes
Going beyond translation with true app localization
Localization involves more than just translation, requiring attention to date formats, number formats, measurement units, and right-to-left text.
#11about 2 minutes
Key takeaways for future-proofing your mobile app
The best code is code you don't write, users expect high quality, and the best time to future-proof your app is today.
#12about 7 minutes
Q&A on GraphQL, accessibility testing, and feature flags
