Digest of interesting materials for a mobile developer # 360 (August 31 - September 6)

In the new release, we deal with icon rounding (twice!), UI tests and MVI, multiplatform applications and CI / CD, interface design, the most earning applications and much more.





The story of a long search for devices and / or wires began to touch me every day. Such a trivial task, how to find Xiaomi Mi A1, took a lot of time and brought mental anguish. After a while, I came to the conclusion that it pisses me off and it shouldn't take so long to find a device. I found a bottleneck in workflows and decided to eliminate it.
