iOS Developer Interview Questions

How would you explain protocol-oriented programming to a new Swift developer?

Suggested approach: POP is a Swift buzzword, but don’t get carried away with the hype here: focus on why it’s different from OOP, and what benefits you think it has. You might want talk about horizontal vs vertical architectures here – larger codebases are likely to have sizable class hierarchies – but you could also talk about how POP is able to work with structs and enums as well as classes.

  Estimated difficulty: Intermediate

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.
