iOS Developer Interview Questions
How do you stay up to date with changes in Swift?
Suggested approach: We develop in a fast-changing world, not least because Apple bump all their major versions every year. Be prepared to talk about books you read, sites you visit, newsletters you subscribe to, conferences you attend, and more – the more specific the better, because it shows you’re working hard to stay updated.
Estimated difficulty: Easy
Important notes
- There are over 150 interview questions in the system. Once you've read the question and come up with a suitable answer, try reading my suggested approach and see if it helps you add more detail.
- These questions are not designed to be hard; a good interviewer is more interested in generating discussion that lets your ability and interests shine through.
- If you answer a question with "yes" or "no" you've missed the point – interviewers prefer you to provide reasoning, explanation, or detail, so try to elaborate with examples!
- If you're looking for detailed technical questions about the language, you should try my Swift tests instead – there are multiple challenges that will work your brain hard.
- For a whole series of coding challenges, I wrote the perfect book for you: Swift Coding Challenges.
