Lightning Talk: Next-Generation GraphQL Cache Management in Your Android and iOS Apps
summary
Apollo Kotlin and Apollo iOS add a new alpha Apollo Kotlin Normalized Cache library that actually merges paginated cursor pages into a single observable record by marking fields as connection types in the schema, and demos show it working in an Android app. Built-in TTL uses a cache control directive so fields store receive timestamps and respect max age 10 seconds, forcing network refresh when stale. Also shipping: GC/trimming, partial results for missing fields, Kotlin Multiplatform JS/WASM targets, and performance optimizations.
