Open Source is Awesome: How it Makes us all Better Developers
summary
Open source shortens development by reusing battle‑tested code: a custom web view controller that runs iOS 5–11, a popular image cropper (released 2015), an iPad number‑pad and a lockscreen‑style auth UI (which needed updating after iOS 11 broke layout assumptions). Use GitHub, support CocoaPods and Carthage, run Travis CI testing, publish releases/tags and a changelog, pick a license (MIT recommended, avoid GPL for App Store apps), and expect to actively update for new Xcode/iOS betas.
