Mobiconf 2018: John Sundell, Swift by Sundell
summary
Argues that design patterns alone don’t make architectures and demonstrates four concrete practices: child view controllers and services decompose a podcast screen into header/list/actions so a single UIViewController avoids ballooning to 1,000–1,500 lines, then those classes become a reusable podcast kit framework; a user-bound factory (locks-and-keys) injects a User to eliminate optional unwrapping; generics and protocols reduce boilerplate for lists and databases; and a named North Star guides incremental refactors instead of full rewrites.
