Key notes:

Title : Silent Running - Dark Launches, Feature Toggles & Avoiding Technical Debt – Tim Antrobus - Mobile Developer at Sky

Shipping frequent, low-risk, regularly scheduled releases as part of a continuous deployment strategy is widely regarded as a valuable agile practice.Achieving continuous deployment nirvana can be a big ask for mobile apps, particularly for iOS where the vagaries of the App Store approval process can lead to unwelcome & unpredictable delays. This talk will consider the merits of feature toggles and dark launches and the beneficial impact they can have on your development workflowWe'll also take a look at a Swift approach to minimising the technical debt inherent in these approaches.

Title: Mobile Agility – Thinking Beyond the App – Nikunj Patel - Head of Mobile Assurance at BJSS Ltd

The growth of digital and the mobile solutions has been explosive over the last few years. Organisations are striving to establish ways of working that can meet mobile demand and user expectations. ‘Agile' is often seen as a way to deliver award winning apps and ratings – but is it ? Observations from our mobile delivery teams over the past few years suggest there is a much wider issue. We look at some of these challenges and explore approaches that encourage a more mature approach to delivering mobile solutions.

Title: Continuous Integration in the Cloud for Mobile Applications - Jagdeep Nagpal - Engineer in The Sky Store Android Team

Jagdeep will discuss and demonstrate how the use of a continuous Integration solution in the cloud like Circle CI allows team to ship better code, faster in the mobile world.
