Software development, especially mobile development has been improving rapidly. Nowadays, they are things that are unthinkable as of several years ago.

The world is moving to virtual reality (VR) and now soon artificial intelligent assistant. And as a mobile software/iOS developer, I think they're always many thing for us to learn everyday.

Being able to keep track of what's new in technology today is really difficult, it's daunting, not to say an impossible task; but we can't help but have to keep being updated, unless we want to be left behind.

Besides, information overload should be avoided. We all have works to do, and most importantly, family to take care of and life to enjoy! :)

So, how we manage to find informations, how we can separate them into small priorities/categories, or how we use our tools to make the most of them; there are so many "how"s.

But the answer, to me, is rather simple, let say we just need to learn what matters us the most, and better group them in a list or something like that. I call it 'toolbox'.

Here is my a list of my personal iOS development toolbox. I hope it useful for you somewhat! Feel free to add yours. :)

(Note: All list items are arranged in no particular order)

I know you are awesome, let's get started! 🚀


Tools

If you are dealing with networking and Realm, these tools are essentials:

  • Realm Browser: Realm Browser is a Mac OS X utility to open and modify realm database files. https://realm.io
  • SimSim: Use SimSim to explore iOS application folders in Terminal or Finder. Fast, stable, free alternative to SimPholders.
  • JSONExport: JSONExport is a desktop application for Mac OS X which enables you to export JSON objects as model classes with their associated constructors, utility methods, setters and getters in your favorite language.

Images Optimization

WWDC 2xxx

It's time! Because we're all busy, but there is an app for that.

WWDC Mac app by Guilherme Rambo helps you get the most out of this year "dub-dub". The best part is, you can even search for past events as well.
