Inside Singpass: Engineering
summary
Singpass serves 5 million users and handles about 300 million transactions a year via a native Swift iOS app (UIKit, moving to SwiftUI on iOS 15) with four-language localization and accessibility features. Recent releases include a translucent “liquid glass” UI (App Store featured) and an app‑to‑app device setup that uses CoreBluetooth-based app-to-app transfer without OS pairing, implementing custom end‑to‑end key exchange; the feature ships after six months of prototyping and three months in production.
