By being part of the Mobile Ecosystem team, I work along with other developers, product designers, and testers who work together to build native mobile plugins, used by hundreds of OutSystems developers around the world, to create low-code mobile apps.The following list contains my main achievements within the team:- Developed 10 new iOS SDKs. The SDKs interact with the device's capabilities, providing native functionalities to low-code developers. These SDKs use both native frameworks (HealthKit, Sign in with Apple, Local and Push Notifications, PassKit, Camera, AVFoundation, Vision, WebKit, Combine, SafariServices, CoreData) and 3rd party SDKs (Facebook Login, Google Sign In, Firebase Cloud Messaging, StripePayments, Quick, Nimble)..- Made all SDKs available as xcframeworks, to simplify dependency management. These SDKs are then made available in Cocoapods, through their podspec files.- Maintained all the OutSystems’ supported 25 plugins’ iOS SDKs, compatible with all iOS versions since 14.0.- Migrated existing SDK code from Objective C and UIKit to Swift and SwiftUI.- Added Continuous Integration to the team’s process by introducing tools such as Fastlane, SonarCloud, SwiftLint, and Snyk.- Improved code quality by introducing concepts such as code coverage and protocol-oriented programming and improving the team's code review process.- Acted as a mentor to more junior engineers on the team.Lately, since OutSystems acquired Ionic, I've also contributed to Capacitor's officially supported plugin set.
