Scaling iOS DevX with Tuist

Speaker: Vijay Tholpadi As iOS applications and teams grow, maintaining developer productivity becomes increasingly challenging. In this talk, we'll explore the critical yet often overlooked aspect of Developer Experience (DevX) in iOS development. We'll examine how common bottlenecks like build times, workspace management, and team coordination can impact developer productivity at scale, and how these challenges compound as an organization grows. Through real-world examples from Carousell's journey, we'll demonstrate how Tuist—a powerful project generation tool—can transform your development workflow. You'll learn practical strategies to dramatically shorten developer feedback loops, from local builds to CI pipelines. We'll explore how to democratize these optimizations across your entire team, ensuring every developer can enjoy fast, reliable builds without needing deep expertise in build systems. The session will include a live demonstration of Tuist in action, providing you with actionable insights to enhance your own development workflow. Whether you're part of a growing startup or an established enterprise, you'll walk away with concrete steps to evaluate and improve your team's developer experience using modern tools and practices. This talk is ideal for iOS developers, tech leads, and engineering managers looking to scale their iOS development practices efficiently while maintaining team productivity and happiness.
