Our Engineering Manager, Amundsen, chose to reflect on re-designing hiring practices, and shifts in UX design!

As the year draws to a close, we're excited for what next year will bring! But we also wanted to reflect on 2025 from multiple perspectives, so we canvassed our team and compiled these retrospectives.

Kicking us off is @mbbischoff.com: one of Lickability’s founding partners and wearer of many hats!

2025 was a year marked by “ARR” and “conversions,” and we’re proud to have been integral in making tools that enable creators to focus on building the best products they can.

Here’s a breakdown of some work we did for @revenuecat.com in 2025!

Our engineer Ashli got tired of writing TCA’s boilerplate and made two templates for anyone to use: one for Dependencies and one for Reducers!

Check them out here: github.com/Lickability/...

We polled the team on everyone’s preference for iOS 26.1’s Liquid Glass settings:

It was a nice round 75%–25% with clear as the “clear” winner 😉

What’s your preferred setting for iOS 26.1?

Hey, @RevenueCat.com 1.8 is live! Things to note:

• Chart Segments 📊
• Color-coded trials in transactions list 🎨
• General bug crushing 😼🐛

Enjoy! apple.co/4guqAfm

We talk about iOS a lot, but we’re actually well-rounded… 😝

Lickability is looking to hire a Freelance Android Designer for upcoming projects! Please send portfolios with examples of your mobile Android design work to [email protected].

It’s time to (re)-debut our shortened links! 🤩 And what better way for you to test them out than by reading our most recent blog post on GitHub Markdown shortcuts??

More from us soon. 😜

We were catching up with @iosdevweekly.com, which led us to this article announcing the “Swift SDK for Android” 😮

www.swift.org/blog/nightly...

The project has grown since Apple open sourced Swift back in 2015. Huge kudos to anyone championing cross-platform development efforts! What do you think?

Our Sr. Account Manager Tom has been enjoying TechWalk: “It’s a great way to connect with smart people in tech while enjoying some sunshine and fresh air. I enjoy supporting the Jersey City chapter to share some representation (and a little love) for my home state!”

This Toolbox Spotlight also serves as an introduction to the newest member of our team: Deepak!

He’s “been making iOS apps since before the App Store was released,” and when he’s not thinking about software engineering, he’s probably thinking about basketball.

We’ve been busy this year:
MAU Vegas➡️WWDC25➡️Vibe Coding “Catfe”➡️New York App Week

Now that we’re caught up, we want to use Instagram Stories as a visual diary for any events we host or attend moving forward!

+ some pics we hadn't posted yet 📸

Thanks to everyone who could come out yesterday and make our “Software Sommelier” a resounding success! ☕👩‍💻

We hope you enjoyed a week of inspired building and connecting during @revenuecat.com’s New York App Week 😽

Our engineer Ashli found an unexpected interaction regarding the allowsNumberPadPopover variable that was added in iOS 26: Sometimes it presents as a pop up, other times it does not. It also sometimes gets stuck in a disappeared state in one of our apps.

Tables, tables, tables! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

@revenuecat.com 1.7 re-introduces the Prediction and Cohort Explorer charts that were missing from the mobile version.

This required us to build tables, so… all charts have table versions now too!

Oura Ring / Whoop: With the introduction of Apple Watch Series 11, Apple’s Sleep Score feature means relying on one less wearable to track the data you want.

Have any other examples you’ve noticed? We’d love to hear about them!
October 1, 2025 at 3:06 PM
Raycast: While lacking some of the depth, Spotlight’s new features allow for a similar workflow to what Raycast provides.

Bartender: New Control Center features have rendered apps like Bartender less essential for those seeking menu bar customization.

Flighty: Apple refreshed boarding passes for Wallet with Live Activity functionality, but Flighty’s robustness gives you the power to track real-time data and delays.

Partiful: Apple’s Invites app bears a striking resemblance to a propriety, iOS-only version of Partiful.

Sherlocking: a term first described after Mac OS X 10.2’s “Sherlock” folded in features and functionality from the popular 3rd-party app “Watson.”

It’s become commonplace with subsequent OS releases, and we noticed a few lesser examples in iOS, MacOS, and watchOS 26.
