How can industry help?

The industry experts in this program have a deep understanding of development practices and in particular iOS SDKs.

These include ; Human Interface Guidelines, StoreKit, Animations, MapKit, ARKit, CoreAudio, CoreBluetooth, CoreLocation etc

Students are encouraged to bring questions about how to use particular technology to make their application or idea better.

For example;

"We're using CoreLocation in this app of ours and we're not sure what the best settings would be for us to use, can you help?"

"We're using StoreKit and we're stuck with understanding how we test this thing, it seems convoluted, what do we do?"

"We've tried using ARKit and are confused by this particular aspect of the SDK, can you help?"
