I'm not interested in JSON, I'm interested in the objects that are created from JSON. Like in your example, turning plain JSON into objects is easy. How difficult is it for new developers? Mostly they …

modifying an iPhone app, by just using Xcode to write a Mac app that connects to your server, pretends that it is a client app, and asks your server to do things that it shouldn't do. iOS security or Android … On your server, don't even try to detect that your front-end is your genuine, unmodified iOS or Android app. …

There are situations where today I have one case, but I know I'm going to add more cases tomorrow. There are situations where many functions follow the same pattern, some ending with a dozen cases, …

It seems that the security of the operating system is broken. An app should not be able to find out what other applications are running on your device.

You need a single source of truth. Having a single source of truth that is always available is very handy. It really makes life easier if you use an always available database as single source of tru …

Assume it is not just an Android application. Assume your company needs applications for Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS and Linux. And there is shared functionality. …

Only talking about iOS (but I suppose it's similar for Android): There is a huge number of icon sizes. …

Well, my rather old piano has high quality recordings of every single note, at 8 different volume levels each (because a loud not isn't just louder, it also sounds different). Recording every fifth no …

You were taught to use the second example? That's totally weird. You should examine what you need in a particular situation, and use the thing that is appropriate in that situation. And be very, ver …

On iOS there is no time limit imposed by Apple. Note that any push notifications will lead to a notification shown on the screen (under control of the app), so it wouldn’t matter whether the app is ru …

The ten hours is a bit pushing it. On iOS you would likely us an “Enterprise account” instead of the usual developer account. The app can only be used within your company, but doesn’t have privacy r …

Never, ever, ever wait for anything on a UI thread. You call an asynchronous method to read data from the internet, which might take some time, pass a callback method, and that method runs the rest of …
