QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“
How can we make user privacy a core habit in iOS development rather than an afterthought?
— Anonymous
User privacy is super important, but as the question states often an afterthought. This is bad for the end-user, but also for you as a developer.
You might have stored data in a certain way already, making it harder to switch to a more privacy-focused solution.
For example, protecting a user's email. Say you didn't think about it in the first place and you've stored it as plain text inside the User Defaults. It's 1) not secure and 2) you should've stored it in the keychain.
It's hard to change this mindset other than that we should educate developers early on about the importance of user privacy. You'll probably learn the hard way, or via today's newsletter ;-).
Just like you'll thank yourself from writing tests right away, you'll also thank yourself for taking extra time to store data securely. It will pay of in the long term and if you don't believe me now, you will in a few months.
