Startup Swift
summary
Tells how an app goes from MVP to production: Swift enables rapid onboarding and safer refactors, a mash of ~20 CocoaPods fixes push notifications in hours, 100,000 installs in two weeks overwhelms Parse rate limits so the team builds a waitlist to throttle requests, Parse announces shutdown and a Parse shutdown migration forces a one‑way data move and dual-backend support, crashes trace to unwrapped optionals caused crashes, refactors use protocols to cleanly swap models and succeed.
