iOS Architecture: From First Principles to Millions of Lines
Entain Group, 25 Montpelier Road, Bowen Hills, Brisbane, AUCome and hear from Adam Wareing on iOS app architecture. He'll start with the fundamentals of good software development practices, then build up to designing an architecture that scales gracefully into millions of lines of Swift across hundreds of screens.
Adam is an iOS Platform Lead who has led multiple greenfield apps across iOS and Android, designed and implemented cross-app architectures, and run numerous app-wide architecture reviews and migrations.
If you're battling slow compilation times, bloated view models, or tightly coupled code, this talk is for you. And whether you're brand new to iOS or have been at it since day one, you'll come away with something useful.
We'll wrap up with time for questions at the end where you can get help with any architecture problems you may be facing.
Come learn something new and network over some pizza and a soft drink/beer.
Please note there has been a change in venues and it's now hosted at Entain Group's office in Bowen Hills at 25 Montpelier Road.

Make. Build. Ship. Learn. Move on.
Entain Group, 25 Montpelier Road, Bowen Hills, Brisbane, AUWhat if you stopped polishing ideas in isolation and just shipped them?
Sampurna Adhikari is coming from Melbourne to present and will share an approach for rapidly prototyping and launching apps to the App Store, fast. Instead of spending months refining a single idea, Sampurna builds quickly, launches early, gathers real feedback, and moves on to the next experiment.
This talk will cover:
- Rapid prototyping techniques for iOS
- Lessons from shipping multiple apps and games, both professionally and personally
- Designing unconventional user experiences
- Leveraging hardware features like the gyroscope, accelerometer, torch, haptics, and gesture-driven interactions
- Finding opportunities beyond the standard app patterns
- Learning from the projects that worked โ and the ones that didn't
This session is for developers, designers, and creators who want to turn ideas into real products and learn by iterating.
Come learn something new and network over some pizza and a soft drink/beer.
