Digest of interesting materials for a mobile developer # 366 (October 12 - 18)

The new digest includes new iPhones, new maps and geolocation for Android, mobile tank testing and subscription tracking, ad network ratings and the Candy Crush Saga championship.





A long time ago I thought that the idea was like this: I sat down, brainstormed with friends, invented, implemented - cool! But I am more and more convinced that the opposite works for me: the idea evolves over the years and at some point fires. This project was no exception.



This digest is available as a weekly newsletter . And every day we send news in the Telegram channel .
