What It Takes to Run a Mobile App Beta with Real Customers (opens on the source site)
Earlier this year, our team shipped two mobile app features for BIGGBY® COFFEE that both touch real money: applying loyalty rewards to an order at checkout, and adding a tip when you pay. These are exactly the kinds of features you don’t want customers discovering bugs in via one-star reviews. So before each one released […] The post What It Takes to Run a Mobile App Beta with Real Customers appeared first on Atomic Spin.

How We Moved 1,500 Android Screenshot Tests to Roborazzi (opens on the source site)
How we moved 1,500 Android screenshot tests to Roborazzi.IntroductionIf you’re a mobile developer you’re probably no stranger to screenshot tests. Making sure that layouts remain consistent as time goes on and code changes is important for ensuring functionality and accessibility. Since Thumbtack uses Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for its Android apps, we had historically been using Firebase Test Lab to capture and compare layouts. However, using Firebase can be slow, tedious, and error-prone, so we decided it was time for a change. Instead of Firebase, we decided to migrate to using Roborazzi,…

This was something we worked on during Hack Days in March, so while we put the finishing touches on it, tell us what you think of this change!

Leveraging AI to build a faster iOS CI system (opens on the source site)
Every iOS pull request at Thumbtack used to wait 30 to 40 minutes for Continuous Integration (CI) — sometimes over an hour on Fridays. We built Smart Test Selection (STS) to cut that in half. Here’s how.I’m a Senior Software Engineer on the iOS Infrastructure team. We own the CI/CD pipelines, build tooling, and shared frameworks that keep Thumbtack’s apps shipping reliably. We also build AI-powered developer tooling — 35+ AI Agent Skills, MCP integrations for Jenkins, Figma, Firebase, and Xcode — that help the broader iOS team ship faster.Over the past few quarters, we built Smart Test…
Headless Screenshot Testing in Thumbtack’s Android Apps (opens on the source site)
How we chose Roborazzi for fast, easy, and high-fidelity screenshot tests of our Android apps, without needing to run them on an emulator.As mentioned in our earlier blog post, screenshot tests are a fundamental part of our testing pyramid at Thumbtack. They validate that our UI code renders correctly. They catch UI regressions as our code evolves. They make it easy to share incremental progress with designers. In code reviews, they provide a great way for reviewers to “see” what the UI code is doing. Finally, they are very easy to write!But they were not always easy to run. Because they…
How a Learning Project Became Our Modern Mobile Test Framework (opens on the source site)
Trivago ·
Introduction About six years ago, our mobile automation setup was showing its age. It was a small, homegrown framework that had worked “well enough” for a long time, until we tried to upgrade Java and a few core dependencies. That’s when things started breaking in ways we couldn’t reasonably patch around. The framework simply wasn’t built to move forward. Rather than trying to keep it alive with one off fixes, one of our engineers used the moment to start a learning project with Appium 1. The goal wasn’t to replace everything overnight, it was to explore whether we could build something…
Creating a Custom Mobile Integration for a Board Game Using Ruby on Rails (opens on the source site)
Picture this: you find a charming old board game at a garage sale, bring it home, gather some friends—and snap. The 50-year-old plastic components break instantly. You search the web for help to replace this fun and unique game mechanic but there’s nothing to be found. So naturally, you roll up your sleeves and build your own mobile version. No one else does this? Just me? Well, in case you ever find yourself in a similar boat, I figured I would walk you through what I did when building my own mobile integration to the 1973 Parker Brothers classic Billionare. As I said, right when I went to…

Nativewind: Speeding up Styling in React Native (opens on the source site)
How Nativewind can speed up your React Native Development If you're anything like me, after working on a few web projects with Tailwind, it can feel like a drag to return to stacks that use other styling libraries. Tailwind has become, for myself, and many other developers, a standard styling paradigm. When starting my most recent React Native project, I was relieved to find out that NativeWind exists. NativeWind is exactly what is sounds like: Tailwind Classes in React Native. I can attest to the breeziness of writing an entire native app without a single call to StyleSheet.create. It's…

On the Unfold team at Squarespace, our mobile releases don't require much in the way of manual intervention or human oversight. In fact, we don’t have to give releases much thought at all. But, this was not always true. This post is a look into what these non-eventful mobile releases are like, dig into how much more eventful they used to be, and walk through the work it took us to get here.

Doximity Mobile Releases Streamlined with Automation (opens on the source site)
Doximity ·
Releasing mobile apps to the store is inherently slower than web updates due to manual process overhead, such as versioning, packaging, and submitting to the App Store for review. While web developers have long enjoyed full buzzword-compliant Continuous Deployment, mobile teams generally use a defined release cadence, typically 2-4 weeks. The DORA metric, which stands for DevOps Research and Assessment, evaluates performance using four key metrics: Deployment Frequency (DF), Lead Time for Changes (LT), Mean Time To Recover (MTTR), and Change Failure Rate (CFR). These metrics are commonly used…
EU Funding for Mobile App Traffic Interception (opens on the source site)
HTTP Toolkit has been selected to receive another round of open-source funding from the EU! This aims to improve interception of HTTPS traffic from mobile apps, making it easier for both security/privacy researchers and normal technical users to inspect & manipulate the data that any app they use sends & receives. This funding will directly support work to improve the precision & usability of mobile app interception, on both iOS and Android. In a couple of clicks, you'll be able to target any app installed on a connected device (on either platform) and inspect all its traffic. That means no…
