While we’re big fans of CircleCI and use it for continuous integration for both our iOS and Android SDKs, but as our team grows, our needs have changed. As a result, we decided to set up our own CI infrastructure. In this post, I’ll walk you through what motivated us to do it and the…
Your favorite bug reporting tool is now a platform for Real-Time Contextual Insights throughout the entire mobile app lifecycle. Seven years ago, we launched Instabug as a demo video — a cool idea that went viral within developer circles like Hacker News. That’s how my co-founder Moataz and I knew that it was worth turning…

Since the introduction of Swift in 2014 and over five major releases, it has matured a lot. The tooling is better and many teams have either completely switched to Swift and away from Objective-C, or are mixing between both with all new code being written in Swift. Swift leverages programming patterns and language features that…
From day one, we were determined to always keep the integration of the Instabug SDK a breeze. And we’ve been able to achieve this successfully by keeping it at just two lines of code that you add to your app in less than 60 seconds. We’ve also been adding lots of customizations based on your feedback…

There are good arguments on both sides, and every team’s and project’s needs are different. I’m not trying to convince you why one approach is better than the other, but rather share why we…
Over the past year, the Instabug BugSquad has grown rapidly. With a 200% increase in team size, we had to think hard about how to scale an engineering company without added bureaucracy and with improved productivity. In the end, this meant we had to refactor our code base. As with all complex engineering endeavors, things…

I didn’t have any real experience shipping an SDK, other than HMSegmentedControl, which doesn’t really count as an SDK. I recently became a Product Owner at Instabug, where I also lead the iOS team. We build an SDK for bug…
