A JavaScript array allows us to group related data like product names, user IDs, log entries, cart items, or API results. Arrays play a vital role in all kinds of user functions, from shopping carts to game scores. However the sheer flexibility of JavaScript arrays can also cause mistakes around mutation, copying, sorting, and searching. Soo we’ve put together this post to show you.

The ability to push an update directly to your users’ devices without App Store review, without delay, without any action required from the user, is one of the most powerful capabilities available to a React Native team. Over-the-air (OTA) updates change how fast you can respond to bugs, iterate on features, and ship improvements. But that power cuts both ways. A bad OTA update reaching 100% of your users at once is considerably worse than a bad store release.

The Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) allows developers to send real-time alerts and data to Apple devices. But it can create a number of problems as your app scales including silent throttling, deep link errors and push payload incompatibility. This post will help you proactively avoid these issues. You’ll learn about: This guide is intended for developers already using push notifications or planning to operate notification systems at scale.

Apple didn't announce the M5 Pro at WWDC, and the M4 Pro Mac Mini industry shortage isn't going anywhere either. Neither should affect your CI. Apple pulled the base model from its store and discontinued the 32GB config. What's still available ships in weeks with some configs months out. Resellers are asking $979 for $599 machines and Tim Cook confirmed the constraints will last several more months.

From booking flows to subscription screens, formatting dates correctly is a core requirement in almost every Android app. In this post we’ll show you how to master the specific Android date format, understand its unique features and avoid common formatting pitfalls.

Last year, Nathan Hillyer's iOS platform engineering team at ForeFlight had self-hosted Mac hardware in their office, two engineers keeping them alive, and a codebase with over 2 million lines of Objective-C, Swift, and C++. Every Xcode update was a fire drill. Every capacity spike during a merge meant somebody was physically racking hardware in the Austin office. ForeFlight didn't want a new CI system. They wanted to stop being a data centre.

Forget everything you thought you knew about AI! Literally! Yes, we are not lying because a new era has already begun. A technology is emerging that doesn’t just compute… it perceives. It listens, observes, reads, and interprets the world with a blend of senses much closer to our own. It’s the age of multimodal AI, where intelligence is no longer limited to a single stream of data, but fuelled by the combined power of text, images, audio, and video.

There is a shift happening in a previously quiet corner of the open source community. You may have experienced this in your own Android builds with an HTTP 429 ("Too Many Requests") error during dependency resolution from Maven Central. Over a period of a few days in late April to early May 2026, a subset of Bitrise users experienced these errors. Here's what happened, what we did about it, and what it means for you.
