Clean Mobile Architecture
“A practical handbook that will provide tremendous help while designing the codebase of your mobile app” —Jovche Mitrejchevski, Software Craftsman
“Provides a carefully balanced view on designing, and growing, an app's architecture in line with the size and requirements of the codebase. A very helpful tool to make more practical sense of how an app's architecture can (and should) evolve over time.” —Donny Wals, iOS consultant & author
—————————————————————————————————————————
The long-awaited book tailored to the architectural needs of Mobile Applications. Clean Architecture is by now a standard in Mobile development. It is listed in every job ad and is assessed in every technical interview. Particularly for senior, architect, and lead positions.
Most software books are written with Backend systems in mind. While the software basics are common, the details differ. And details are crucial. Translating their wisdom into Mobile codebases requires effort and often includes several unsuccessful attempts. This is the one book you need to properly architect Mobile apps. It is platform-agnostic and includes coding samples of both Android & iOS. Read it, and you’ll learn how to:
• Architect your mobile application by Clean Architecture.
• Apply the S.O.L.I.D principles.
• Leverage Reactive Programming & MVI.
• Draw proper architectural boundaries.
• Define adequate testing strategies.
• Leverage Evolutionary design and increase agility.
• Identify when Clean Architecture is needed and when simpler approaches work better.
“Best practices” don’t exist. Some practices solve specific problems while introducing problems that didn’t exist before. What works for a startup doesn’t work for an enterprise app, and vice versa. This book goes the extra mile to clarify when each practice is helpful. And most importantly, when to avoid it.
The book doesn’t only stick to theory. It includes several repos with sample apps that put everything into practice. Theory backed up by practice is called experience. That’s what makes an architect.

I was asked by the author if I wanted to read it and he sent me a hard copy. Thanks, Petros. This book really surprised me. The content of the book is far broader than the title implies. I’m not a mobile developer but I found the architectural and design advices in the book useful for any software developer. Petros writing style is very easy to read and I was able to get thought the whole book in a couple of days (a few hours in total). While he clearly states his preferences, he is also very pragmatic in describing their pros and cons and other options. I recommend this book for software developers that want some good advice regarding software design. If you are a mobile developer, you will get even more from the book. If you are not, you still should read it.

I recently finished reading this book and I have to say, it is by far the most relevant resource for anyone working on developing iOS or Android apps. While other books such as "Clean Code" and "Design Patterns" are also great, this one really gets to the heart of the concepts that you need to know and master as a senior mobile developer. It provides an excellent summary of the knowledge and skills that a senior mobile developer should have, and it's well worth the price. Plus, it's a quick read. I highly recommend it - it gets a full recommendation from me!

I really liked this book. It takes a pragmatic approach to mobile architecture.
I mostly liked the fact that it is not opinionated. It adds criticism to all practices and provides alternatives.
Overall it made me a better engineer.

I recently had the pleasure of reading "Clean Mobile Architecture," and it has been a game-changer for my approach to mobile development. This book is a gem for both seasoned developers and newcomers to the field.
The author's writing style is clear, concise, and engaging, making complex concepts easy to understand. What sets this book apart is its focus on clean architecture principles specifically tailored for mobile applications. The step-by-step guidance provided throughout the chapters helps bridge the gap between theory and practical implementation.
One of the strengths of the book is its real-world examples. The author doesn't just talk about abstract concepts; they demonstrate how to apply these principles in actual mobile projects. This hands-on approach significantly enhanced my understanding of clean architecture and its impact on the maintainability and scalability of mobile apps.
I appreciate how the book addresses common challenges faced by mobile developers and provides effective solutions. The discussions on modularization, dependency injection, and testability are especially enlightening. The code snippets and diagrams are well-placed, reinforcing key concepts without overwhelming the reader.
Whether you're a solo developer, part of a team, or even a tech lead, this book will undoubtedly become a valuable resource in your mobile development journey. It's rare to find a technical book that is both informative and enjoyable to read, and "Clean Mobile Architecture" achieves just that. Highly recommended!

Loved the book! Carefully thought approach on how to architect a mobile app both in the context of a startup as well as in enterprise corporations.
I liked the fact that it is platform-agnostic and focuses on high-level engineering practices rather than low-level coding details. I am an Android developer but this book helped my understand iOS as well.

I like both Petros's technical approach as well as writing style. He has a talent for making hard technical concepts digestible.
I have to admit I hadn't fully understood S.O.L.I.D principles and Clean architecture clearly until I read this book.

I love the balanced approach Petros takes in architecting mobile applications. He emphasizes that software architecture is very context-dependent and should evolve alongside the product requirements and organization growth.
I totally recommend this book to mobile developers of any level.

Es un libro de arquitectura de software con algunos comentarios en desarrollo móvil. Definitivamente útil, pero no esperes detalles concretos para aplicaciones móviles más allá de frameworks y funcionalidades de algunos lenguajes.

An excellent introduction.
Like the essence of good architecture, powerful concepts and practices are explained concisely and intelligently applied. That truly was a pleasure to read.

Finally, a book that explains mobile development in-depth. I found it an enjoyable read that helped me understand concepts that I used to struggle with.
It's a solid book to keep as a reference.

It is a well-written book that sums up mobile architecture best practices and adds a few new ideas by the author.
I'd recommend this book to both junior and senior developers.

An easy-to-read book that I'd say is value for time.
In 300 pages it summarizes years of mobile experience.
