Appendix
Reference material that didn’t fit cleanly into a phase but you’ll want at hand. Skim once, then return when you need it.
Contents
- Swift version matrix — which Swift, Xcode, and OS versions ship together; what each Swift release added
- Xcode keyboard shortcuts — the shortcuts senior engineers actually use, grouped by workflow
- Interview cheat sheet — condensed top 50 Q&A across the book, for the night before
- Deployment checklist — every gate between “feature complete” and “live on the App Store”
- Security checklist — OWASP Mobile Top 10 mapped to iOS, with the actual mitigation for each
- Glossary — every acronym and term used in the book
- Career launch playbook — the 60-day plan from finishing this book to signed offer
How to use the appendix
These pages are reference material, not chapters. You don’t read them linearly. You jump in when:
- You’re about to start an interview tomorrow → Interview cheat sheet
- You’re about to submit an app to Review → Deployment checklist
- You’re about to start a security review → Security checklist
- You’re confused by an acronym → Glossary
- You want to know “what’s in Swift 6” without re-reading Phase 1 → Swift version matrix
- You’re 60 days from being ready and need a plan → Career launch playbook
End of book. You’ve earned the title.
