    AppForce1 Worklog: Refactoring an 8-Year-Old iOS App is Like Restoring a Classic Car

    Send me a text Jeroen shares his real-world iOS development journey working on a legacy app at Dawn Technologies. He details his systematic approach to modernizing an 8-year-old codebase that serves as a critical tool for companies. • Breaking down a monolithic App Delegate into dedicated managers with single responsibilities • Leveraging the existing feature flag system to safely deploy new implementations • Refactoring the walkie-talkie functionality with real-time audio streaming over WebSockets • Completely rewriting the chat system to use a modern service-based architecture • Overhauling the location tracking system to use iOS 17's new async location tracking APIs • Implementing WiFi settings fixes for iOS 16 compatibility using modern APIs • Maintaining a cleanup branch to remove deprecated APIs and fix compiler warnings Check out Do iOS, the iOS development conference I'm organizing later this year.

    AppForce1 Worklog: When Your Volume Slider Has a Mind of Its Own

    Send me a text Make sure to let me know what you think of this episode. I completely refactored an audio system for a work app, splitting a single AVAudioEngine into separate engines for recording and playback. This architectural change fixed a bizarre bug where the system volume slider moved unexpectedly during audio operations. • Split AVAudioEngine into separate recording and playback engines • Fixed the MP Volume View movement issue by unifying audio session management • Improved background task management for location tracking services • Removed dead code and deprecated functionality • Explored solutions for audio session conflicts, threading issues, and memory leaks • Implemented dedicated dispatch queues for different audio operations • Created a robust background task management system for location updates • Added extensive logging to better understand audio session lifecycles Looking ahead to SwiftUI integration, audio performance optimization, and iOS 26 compatibility testing.
