As a Mobile Architect, you don’t just design — you govern.
1️⃣ Architecture Governance
- Define standards (Clean, MVVM-C, modularization)
- Approve major design decisions
- Review design documents
- Prevent direct API calls from ViewControllers
2️⃣ Code Governance
- Coding standards documentation
- PR review checklist
- SwiftLint enforcement
- Static analysis via SonarQube
- Minimum coverage threshold
🎯 Goal:
Ensure the codebase remains clean after 3+ years of scaling.
3️⃣ Security Governance
- Secure storage guidelines
- SSL pinning policy
- Encryption standards
- Dependency audit pipeline
4️⃣ Release Governance
- Branching strategy (GitFlow / trunk-based)
- Mandatory QA gate
- Versioning rules
- Rollback plan
5️⃣ Performance Governance
- App size threshold
- Launch time SLA
- Crash-free session target
- Continuous monitoring dashboards
