It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about work, so here’s a quick update. Since January, I’ve been working at IDT in Har Hotzvim. Ironically this is the same building as Cisco/NDS. Which is a bit weird because I keep bumping into my old collegues.

We are getting close to our first release. Unfortunately, most of my code will probably not be part of the initial release.

In the meantime, I’ve been working on two areas. One is logging. The other is configuration management, or what used to be called devops.

On the Android side, I’ve adapted the basic React Native gradel script so it creates an apk with our app name, version, and a date stamp.

On the iOS side, after two days of effort, I can down create and deploy apps to TestFlight and the app store. As usual, the process looks simple, but has a number of weird edge cases. Some how, I got through it and now I can build and deploy ipas in a consistent manner.

Lastly, for the first time in forever I’ve been documenting my work in a wiki. Although, not Media wiki, the GitHub wiki has two great features. First, you can write in markdown. Secondly, this being GitHub, you can checkout the entired wiki to the file system.
