Continuous integration, Minimum Viable Product, automated testing, user research… these are all techniques we can use when experimenting with a new product. They allow us to prioritise user needs and maximise agility and flexibility. But when building a brand new iOS app, you are at the whim of the Apple app store… and this can prevent you from using many – or even any – of the aforementioned techniques. This talk is a story of ups and downs, tears and triumph, and the very sharp end of the sunk cost fallacy. Via the rollercoaster ride of a failed iOS app, Clare uses the experience to highlight several key components that contribute to successful software development… and offer understanding to those facing obstacles beyond their control.
