Are you affiliated with Optimizely? I ask because I know one of their primary marketing statements is also &quot;A&#x2F;B testing you&#x27;ll actually use.&quot;

How you guys are different than <a href="https://www.vessel.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vessel.io</a> ? They have very advanced solution in this segment. Last week I have seen Vessel&#x27;s new product and its amazing. Very close to Optimizely or visualwebsiteoptimizer in web space.<p>They have built a visual web editor, which allows users to change the UI of their Android or iOS application from editor directly.<p>Just keep eye on them. I will try your solution too.

<i>Relevant disclosure: I run an iOS developer-related website (<a href="http://www.cocoacontrols.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cocoacontrols.com</a>), and I asked Andrew, one of the co-founders, to advertise on my site sometime soon (and I owe him a follow-up email...Andrew, if you see this, sorry I haven&#x27;t done that yet. I spent the weekend in bed with a seriously bad head and chest cold, and am only now digging myself out of my backlog of work.)</i><p>I received a demo of Tapylytics last week, and I have to say it is <i>really</i> impressive. There are definitely some rough edges here and there in the product, but if it holds up half as well as it did in the demo then it&#x27;ll be the first product I&#x27;ve seen that might actually make people A&#x2F;B test their iOS apps. It&#x27;s <i>really</i> cool.<p>I can&#x27;t wait to try it out in the real world with an app I&#x27;ve been building on the side for the past few days.<p>I should also mention that I have a really high bar for accepting ads for Cocoa Controls, and only do it for products that I actually like (reputation takes years to build, and can be pissed away in a second if you screw up badly enough).

It looks like &#x27;mobile first design gone too far&#x27;. This is how the website looks like on 1920 x 1200 monitor. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/asP7Fdx.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;asP7Fdx.png</a><p>Browser: Chrome OS: Windows 8.1

I just tested this, and even tho i didn&#x27;t got it to work on my project (Linker-errors) it was exceptional on the test app. This is very innovative and fresh, and makes it so easy. Kudos to you guys. I&#x27;m gonna do some testing, and maybe i&#x27;ll try this out in our beta rounds.<p>A question tho: It seems like you hijack all UI-elements and subclass them on runtime. (Or something. Swizzling?) How is this in regard to speed and performance?

I&#x27;m really excited by all the mobile a&#x2F;b testing companies that emerged in the last year. There were almost no companies working on this space just a scant year ago, though a lot of the more successful and large companies had implemented these tools internally for their own apps. Seamless updates, ui changes, full a&#x2F;b testing is something we&#x27;ll likely see a lot more of in the future.

From the demo&#x27;s it looks like you are doing overlays and test if these before better than the original.<p>I hardly need this. Usually it&#x27;s more about flows, full screens etc.<p>Can you do eg alternate user flows?<p>best wishes Andreas

This is pretty amazing. Congrats, I think this will be extremely useful to a lot of apps.

congrats guys. I love that you can run experiments without having users update apps.

Just played with it a little bit. It&#x27;s really cool. Do you have the same for android as well ? Or are you planning to launch anytime soon ?

Is it necessary to set the `elementKey` property of views beforehand?

For someone not familiar with iOS development, how does this work?
