Catching unsatisfiable Auto Layout constraints won’t catch 100% of the times the UI breaks, but it can give us a good hint. Unsatisfiable Auto Layout constraints errors happen when there are two or more conflicting Auto Layout constraints installed in the app’s view hierarchy. When that happens, UIKit logs the conflicting constraints in the console,…
Welcome to part two of Creating UIViews Programmatically Using PureLayout. In the first part, we built a simple mobile application’s UI completely in code without the use of Storyboards or NIBs. In this tutorial, we will cover some of the most used UI elements in all applications: UINavigationController/Bar UITableView Self-sizing UITableViewCell UINavigationController Explained In an…
You’re working on a new feature and suddenly an old feature stops working even though you wrote unit tests. Or you’re refactoring legacy code and you think it’s done, but suddenly you find a lot of bugs. So you go back, you make the fixes, and you think it’s done, but then you find more…
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…

When TestFlight hit the market in 2011, it revolutionized beta app distribution. It eliminated the hassle associated with distributing and managing beta builds and simplified the process on the tester’s side. Apple was quick to recognize the value TestFlight adds to developers and was quick to acquire the service and integrate it into App Store…
At Instabug we build an SDK for mobile apps. Building an SDK often means that most tools created for automating tasks around development and deployment of iOS apps don’t work for us, so we usually need to develop our own bespoke solutions. To increase our productivity and keep thing moving fast, we like to automate…
iOS 12 was announced in early June at the Apple WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) 2018, and with it came a lot of changes, leaving developers everywhere wondering about how the new changes with the iOS 12 App Store would affect their apps. Apple’s App Store was launched ten years ago and currently has over two million…

Below, we take you through all the basics of beta testing your iOS app in order to help you prepare for this phase. From what beta…
Beta testing is a critical stage in the software development lifecycle. It helps refine your mobile app quality and improve its user experience, among many other things, which is why it’s crucial to integrate a third-party iOS beta testing tool for bug and crash reporting and to collect user feedback. Beta testing saves time, money,…
So you have a solution to a problem that many other iOS developers have and you want to help them, but you also want to protect your code and build a business? Binary framework, that’s what you want. You might have noticed that you can’t see the source code of the UIKit frameworks you use…
