The term ‘data persistence’ refers to data that remains available, even when the program that created it is idle, sleeping or unable to open. In many cases, our iOS apps need to provide support around the clock, so we need our data to be ‘always on’ – even when the apps themselves are not.

This blog post dives into DevSecOps, the approach that blends DevOps, security, and operations into a cohesive security strategy. It focuses on the impact of DevSecOps on mobile software development and underscores the significance of prioritizing security from the get-go.

Unit testing is one of the most powerful features of Android app development, saving us crucial time and reducing overall project cost and allowing developers to embrace test driven development With unit testing, we take an individual slice of code and test it to our requirements. If it passes, then the slice of code is pushed to the repository to merge with the existing code. If it fails, the developers fix the error and retest until it passes.

It's a fact that the presence of smartphones in our lives has evolved into a globally dominating reality today. According to a recent reports by Statista, 85.74% of the general population, or roughly 6.93 billion people, are using smartphones and over 7.33 billion people are using mobile phones. This huge figure points to the fact that smartphones are being adopted fast and have become essential to our day-to-day lives.

Dive into the essentials of DevOps and Mobile DevOps. This blog post covers the DevOps core principles, the differences between DevOps and Mobile DevOps, and the integration of security and engineering practices, alongside answers to common DevOps questions and a glossary of terms.

Apple’s App Store has undergone significant changes recently, and savvy iOS developers are working hard to stay ahead of the curve. Together, the recent implementation of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) regulations in the EU and App Store Review Guidelines will reshape the iOS application landscape. While some of these changes pose exciting opportunities, others demand rapid and proactive adaptation.

Push notifications play a vital role in user engagement and retention, keeping users up to date and creating a sense of FOMO that leads to purchases. And in iOS, we get the added benefit of Apple’s Push Notification Service (APNs). which acts as a middleman between the app server and the user’s device, facilitating the delivery of push notifications even if the app is not active or the user is checking another of their apps.

The process of building, code signing, and publishing mobile apps can be tedious and time-consuming, especially when working in a large team and also needing to share builds with QA engineers. That’s why Codemagic offers a cloud-based CI/CD service for mobile apps that automates the whole workflow with minimal time-effort on configuration. But what if you want to use Codemagic’s features locally or in another CI/CD environment, such as GitHub Actions?

We’re here with our latest round-up of new Bitrise features. We think these delighters will simplify how you work and cut down on unnecessary noise.

iOS in-app purchases, or IAPs, allow developers to offer content, services, and features within their iOS apps for users to purchase. This can provide a significant revenue stream for developers, while enabling users to enhance their experience or access premium content and services. An iOS in app purchase can be a good alternative to paid applications, as an iO app developer can offer the app for free and monetize it via app purchasing options.

Mobile game testers must consider several aspects when delivering flawless user experiences. Since customers often play across several devices and platforms, consistent experiences aren’t just necessary, they are an expectation. This is what makes mobile game testing different from mobile app testing. Unlike typical apps, mobile game testing is less repeatable and regimented. Unscripted user actions, born out of individual player habits, introduce an element of unpredictability.
