Digest of interesting materials for a mobile developer # 365 (October 5 – 11)

In our new collection we catch bugs on clients, write autotests and build analytics, study KMM and Flutter novelties, system design and CTO operation, game logic and Russians’ spending on applications. Connect!

To collect client errors, we use our own development code-named Gelato. For the last two years I have been working on its server side and during this time I discovered a lot of new things from the world of Error Tracking systems development.
