App Launch Promises
Mike Sanderson, Lead iOS Developer at Tendigi
App launch is a complex moment— the user might have never used your app before, or user might have substantial existing state and data, and the app must determine that among other technical steps to prepare the user interface.
The “Promises” paradigm used in many languages is one effective way to manage app launch steps. First we’ll will introduce promises in iOS apps using two frameworks for iOS: PromiseKit and Bolts. Then we’ll look at some of the challenges related to app launch, including login credentials and API calls, and how promises can wrap these cases into discrete steps. Finally, based on code used in real apps, we’ll look at pitfalls and tricks for using Promises with UIKit and general iOS app patterns.
