iOS Developer Interview Questions
What non-Apple apps do you think have particular good design?
Suggested approach: This is a personal choice. I would probably talk about Airbnb and Duolingo, for example, because they have some really smooth transitions and a very harmonious layout. Don’t be afraid to throw a curveball and include a game – Monument Valley, for example, is visually pleasing.
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.
