What are your best sources for news of iOS app development or design? Where do you find useful snippets for iOS apps?

jackflintermann• 12 years ago

My top 3 are probably:

- the iOS dev weekly newsletter (iosdevweek.ly)

- NSHipster (nshipster.com)

- objc.io (objc.io)

Twitter. My technique was to look up the developers of all my favorite apps on Twitter, follow them... and then whenever they RT someone saying something interesting, follow that person too. In a very short time you'll have a comprehensive feed of interesting developers talking shop.

On that note. What about Android?

infinii• 12 years ago

To avoid clutter, it might be more practical to start your own ASK thread for this.

gbrhaz• 12 years ago

Along with what everyone else has said, I would also add in iOS Goodies:

While we're here, I don't suppose someone who knows the scene could recommend an article or post that demos how to hook up a basic ios7 app to a general API (likely REST)?

A goto post would be really useful.

I recently discovered a HN-esque board called MobileNews - It's my go-to source for mobile app news, design resources, ASO content, etc.

BuzzSumo. Search for "app development"

gtirloni• 12 years ago

I think this thread shows HN is the best source ;)

satjot• 12 years ago

@tapfame writes a weekly newsletter - check them out.

program247365• 12 years ago

I always see these kinds of posts, and since I've been doing iOS dev for awhile, I wanted to gather as many iOS dev resources in one place as I could. So I've created this site for that:

http://program247365.github.io/iosengineerlist/

Many more resources to come. Lot of great stuff out there for iOS devs. I welcome contributions (project is a jekyll site on github).
