Navigation is a core concept in mobile app development. It enables users to move from one screen to another. Well-managed navigation keeps your app organized and enhances its capabilities. Flutter offers an imperative API (Navigator 1.0) and a declarative API (Navigator 2.0) routing mechanism. In Navigator 1.0, you can only add a page to the top of the navigation stack and remove the topmost route. On the other hand, the declarative mechanism allows you to control the navigation stack completely.

APIs have been around long enough for companies to know that they can use open web technologies to extend their services via in-app integrations. APIs allow two programs to communicate with one another and exchange data in a smooth manner. Once an API has been created, it is vital to test the interface to ensure that it is functional.

As an Apple platforms developer, you have surely come across a scenario in which you have had to create new screenshots for App Store Connect while releasing a new version. The designer may have given you the screenshots beforehand, or maybe you have manually opened the corresponding simulators and taken the screenshots yourself. You must upload a minimum of three screenshots for each of the four devices on App Store Connect. That is a minimum of 12 screenshots per release.
