    The interview is pretty easy if youโ€™re comfortable with debugging and building an iOS UI. I would say they have one of the more fair mobile interviews.

    I didnโ€™t like working on a remote computer though. I understand why they do that, but the lag was annoying.

      I am pretty confident I can build anything with swiftUI since Iโ€™ve been using that for the past 6 months. Do you think theyโ€™d even consider swiftUI for interview preferences ๐Ÿค” yeah makes sense - the phone screen was a wonderful question that required implementing protocols with closures and stuff.

      They would consider SwiftUI but I personally would stick with UIKit to avoid any gotchas or last minute unforeseen bugs.

      It also comes down to whether or not they provide starter code for you as well. Some places provide both Swift and Objective C.

    Do they have remote iOS positions? Or you wish to relocate? I donโ€™t think they have something in LA?
