Things that are native on my Mac: 😀

Xcode
Instruments
Safari
Terminal
Everything I use daily

Things that are not: 😭

My API client
My regrets

As iOS developers, we test mobile APIs from desktop browsers more often than we test them from actual mobile devices.

Stable WiFi. Perfect conditions.

But our users?

Unstable networks. Expired tokens. Switching between apps.

That gap explains a surprising number of “works on my machine” bugs.

I’ve started debugging APIs directly from Apple devices instead of relying only on traditional browser-based REST API clients.

It’s not about replacing tools but aligning testing with reality.

API testing shouldn’t feel like a context switch.

It should feel like part of the development.

That’s what we’re exploring with HTTPBot.

Glad to be here, Mastodon team 👋
