My top 3 are probably:

- the iOS dev weekly newsletter (iosdevweek.ly)

- NSHipster (nshipster.com)

- objc.io (objc.io)

Twitter. My technique was to look up the developers of all my favorite apps on Twitter, follow them... and then whenever they RT someone saying something interesting, follow that person too. In a very short time you'll have a comprehensive feed of interesting developers talking shop.

+1 for Twitter, and the above names are all great suggestions. I also found this list helpful: https://twitter.com/emityme/ios-inspiration

On that note. What about Android?

To avoid clutter, it might be more practical to start your own ASK thread for this.

Along with what everyone else has said, I would also add in iOS Goodies:

While we're here, I don't suppose someone who knows the scene could recommend an article or post that demos how to hook up a basic ios7 app to a general API (likely REST)?

A goto post would be really useful.

I recently discovered a HN-esque board called MobileNews - It's my go-to source for mobile app news, design resources, ASO content, etc.

BuzzSumo. Search for "app development"

gtirloni 12y ago ↗

I think this thread shows HN is the best source ;)

@tapfame writes a weekly newsletter - check them out.

I always see these kinds of posts, and since I've been doing iOS dev for awhile, I wanted to gather as many iOS dev resources in one place as I could. So I've created this site for that:

http://program247365.github.io/iosengineerlist/

Many more resources to come. Lot of great stuff out there for iOS devs. I welcome contributions (project is a jekyll site on github).
