Recently, our iOS team has prepared a report on the Combine Framework. We’ve discussed using the Combine framework, announced by Apple in 2019, while working with asynchronous code and how to use the delegate-pattern and callbacks as an alternative.
We’ve covered the following:
▪️ The comparison of Combine with other reactive paradigms, such as Rx and ReactiveSwift
▪️ Such entities as Publisher, Subscriber, Subject, Subscription, Scheduler
Lifecycle subscription and Backpressure work
▪️ Operators work
▪️ Debugging of the Reactive approach
▪️ Error handling
▪️ Usage of Combine with Foundation
▪️ Practical usage of Combine in typical situations
The report will be useful to those who:
▪️ Wants to stop using third-party dependencies such as Rx and ReactiveSwift
▪️ Wants to follow a declarative approach to programming in the future, but with a native framework.

What’s new in Swift 5.2-5.3
The report on Swift 5.2 and 5.3 describes the simplification and improvement of code writing and a new feature of the Swift 5.1 — Property Wrappers.
1️⃣ The first Swift 5.2 beta appeared in Xcode 11.4 beta. There were changes in the language, along with a reduction in code size and memory usage. Also, a new diagnostic system allows detecting errors faster.
2️⃣ There are values for user-defined types.
3️⃣ Subscript can declare arguments by default.
4️⃣ A new diagnostic architecture has appeared. It focuses on improving the quality and accuracy of xCode error messages during development.
5️⃣ It’s now possible to specify a list through a comma for more accurate error catching.
6️⃣ A new data type has appeared — Float16 due to the development of machine learning on mobile devices.
7️⃣ Many improvements have been made to Swift Package Manager (SPM) to increase the number of libraries that can be imported.
8️⃣ Swift Property Wrappers appeared in Swift 5.1.
These are wrappers that will allow:
▪️ limit property values
▪️ convert values while changing properties
▪️ change the semantics of equality and comparison of properties
▪️ block access to the property

AR technologies are gradually conquering the world
Large companies understand the tendency and support developers with new tools and technologies. That’s how ARCore and ML Kit appeared to the AR community.
樂 But how can these tools affect the development of AR?
☝️ ARCore offers a set of features for an uncut interaction with the environment. Motion tracking, light estimation, and environmental understanding allow developers to use AR more effectively.
As for the ML Kit, it offers more flexibility to developers with its ability to deploy projects on the cloud or on-device. On top of that, it saves the development time with premade sets for common use patterns for text recognition, face detection, and more.
A full comparison of ARCore and ML Kit.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
