While there is a lot of appreciation for backend and distributed systems challenges, there tends to be less empathy for why mobile development is hard when done at scale.
This book collects challenges engineers face when building iOS and Android apps at scale, and common ways to tackle these. By scale, we mean having numbers of users in the millions and being built by large engineering teams.
For mobile engineers, this book is a blueprint for modern app engineering approaches. For non-mobile engineers and managers, it is a resource with which to build empathy and appreciation for the complexity of world-class mobile engineering.
The book covers iOS and Android mobile app challenges on these dimensions:
• Challenges due to the unique nature of mobile applications compared to the web, and to the backend.
• App complexity challenges. How do you deal with increasingly complicated navigation patterns? What about non-deterministic event combinations? How do you localize across several languages, and how do you scale your automated and manual tests?
• Challenges due to large engineering teams. The larger the mobile team, the more challenging it becomes to ensure a consistent architecture. If your company builds multiple apps, how do you balance not rewriting everything from scratch while moving at a fast pace, over waiting on “centralized” teams?
• Cross-platform approaches. The tooling to build mobile apps keeps changing. New languages, frameworks, and approaches that all promise to address the pain points of mobile engineering keep appearing. But which approach should you choose? Flutter, React Native, Cordova? Native apps? Reuse business logic written in Kotlin, C#, C++ or other languages?
• What engineering approaches do “world-class” mobile engineering teams choose in non-functional aspects like code quality, compliance, privacy, compliance, or with experimentation, performance, or app size?

As someone who has been doing enterprise iOS development for over 6 years, the information in this book is a great summary of all the challenges that Mobile developers face. If you are in the space already, you may not learn too much from this book– instead it will be a great review, and a reminder that the problems that you face are truly universally challenging.However, i think this book is EXCELLENT for engineers who are not into the Mobile world. Most people not in this space have ABSOLUTELY NO idea what goes on in mobile and think its just a “simple” dumb front-end. That is far from the truth and this book explains exactly why in such a great manner.So, if you are an engineering leader at any engineering focused org, this book is for you! This will really help you understand the challenges with mobile and help you make better decisions and planning.

Easy and smooth reading. Even though I am an experienced software developer, I am new on developing mobile apps and this book has open my mind for a couple of challenges I will need to deal with in the future. I find the content a bit shallow, but enough to exercise my curiosity in going deeper and knowing a bit more about some third-party apps that the author mentions through the chapters. So, if you are looking for a book that goes deep into each of the 39 challenges, this book is not for you.

Sadly this book wasn’t avaiable back when I started my mobile career. Every mobile developer should have this book on his shelf.
