Mobile Library Development
summary
Practical guide to building mobile libraries for iOS (Swift) and Android: designs the API surface, recommends Swift optionals and named parameters or Java builder pattern, warns against forcing Rx unless library is Rx-native and shows how to offer callback-to-Rx adapters, explains testing with a companion app and dogfooding, adds actionable error messages, tracks versions with semantic versioning (major.minor.patch), and recommends packaging via CocoaPods/Cartage or Maven Central/JCenter plus shipable QuickStart sample apps.
