Secret management in shared environments like Continuous Integration and Delivery services is challenging. It’s essential to keep secrets secure and ensure they don’t end up in the wrong place, like logs or code repositories. Integrating solutions like 1Password into CI/CD workflows offer the advantage of centralising secret management, and it also allows you to encrypt every secret, providing controlled programmatic access to applications.
In Flutter’s early days in 2019, I developed a live object detection system for a major German company, despite the platform’s constraints. With release of Flutter 3.7 and advancements of TensorFlow have catalyzed the need to refine or overhaul this approach. This article discusses the newest techniques in live-stream object detection as showcased in the flutter-tflite GitHub repository.
Mobile developers using Javascript-based mobile application development platforms such as Cordova, Ionic and React Native have enjoyed the benefit of being able to push app updates over-the-air without resubmitting their apps to the App Store or Google Play for quite some time. As long as the updates are not compiled code, and don’t change the primary purpose of the application then both Apple and Google allow this.
👋 Welcome to our guide on using Tuist and Codemagic CI/CD for mobile developers. In this guide, we’ll focus on how you can utilize the capabilities of Tuist, a command-line tool that helps maintain and interact with Xcode projects, in conjunction with Codemagic to expedite your build processes. We can significantly enhance build speed and efficiency through smart caching techniques. 🚀
Dart and Flutter are a powerful duo when building software applications, ranging from mobile apps - Android and iOS; to desktop apps - Linux, Windows, and macOS. Flutter is sufficient to handle most application features. However, some apps involve deeper integration with their platform components. Flutter boasts of smooth and easy-to-setup mechanisms for communication between Flutter and platform hosts.
This years I/O can be easily summed up by just one phrase: “AI”. AI absolutely everywhere. Sundar Pichai started, mentioned numerous times and ended the Keynote by mentioning AI. Some of the main announcements around AI for developers included the general availablity of “Bard” supporting 20 programming languages and use of the “PaLM 2” based models with some like “Gecko” small enough to run on mobile devices.
TL;DR: M2 machines are up to 33% faster than M1 machines! For macOS and iOS builds, we see build time improvements of ~50% compared with the Mac Pro.

Apple Silicon processors have revolutionized the desktop and laptop CPU landscape. The transition from Intel’s x86_64 architecture to Apple’s arm64 was smooth for consumers thanks to the Rosetta 2 emulator. This emulator enables the translation of x86_64 instructions to arm64 with minimal performance degradation.
