@deprecated Monolith @available Modules

" summary

Wallapop’s iOS codebase moves from a 700k-line monolith with 3–4 minute builds to per-module builds that take seconds by extracting vertical feature frameworks and horizontal modules (API client, domain, common). The team battles a Swift "argument list too long" bug caused by long compile commands, tries Carthage + CocoaPods then consolidates into CocoaPods static libraries, then separates modules into Xcode projects. Modules expose protocols, use a dependency container with lazy closures to break cycles, and rely on a legacy interface dev‑pod for app-only APIs; the approach works after two years of iterative fixes.
