Apollo iOS 1.1
The latest version of Apollo iOS enables manual initialization of generated models. This makes it easier to write manual data to the cache, spin up models for unit tests, create UI fixtures (loading states and Swift UI previews), and more! Additionally, this release comes with support for HTTP multipart subscriptions. In most cases, upgrading to 1.1 should require no changes to your code, so you can update today!
Office hours
We’re kicking off a new series of live streams in our Discord server where we invite you to learn what Apollonauts are up to and ask any questions you have. The first will feature Anthony Miller, a maintainer of Apollo iOS. Join us on April 20th at 1 pm PDT, and let us know who you’d like to hear from next!
