This feature thread tracks the evolution of integrating GraphQL into mobile applications to improve development efficiency and API interaction. Initially, the focus was on leveraging GraphQL for new features. This post details the adoption of Apollo for iOS and Android, enabling faster development, reduced engineering effort on networking, and eliminating over-fetching. It highlights the shift from a REST mindset to a GraphQL mindset, emphasizing types over endpoints, and the benefits of code generation for static types and reusable fragments for API consistency. Platform differences between iOS and Android implementations of Apollo are also discussed.
