Yes, it may even be too overwhelming :) If so, those feeds are what I use as my main sources for writing iOS Dev Weekly, here: https://iosdevweekly.com/ which will give you a slightly cut down list of the best of the week in iOS development.

Inspired by Dave Verwer doing iOS Dev Weekly (http://iosdevweekly.com) I created iOS Design Weekly. Most blogs about creating iOS applications are focused on development and not so much on design. Hopefully we can help show some of the great articles on designing better iOS apps.
If you have any articles you think I should include please contact me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/nathanbarry

What I like, is that it has been coming every Friday, for years. And it's really short. This has me actually reading the links.

Are people using Azure Mobile Services happy with it? I watched the first NSScreencast on it, and it just seemed to introduce so much complexity. If I wanted to manually configure SQL tables, I'd make my own backend. Parse on the other hand was extremely well documented and required 0 server or database knowledge.
Edit: Personally I don't find Azure marketing all that interesting, but they have been doing a great outreach effort. In addition to DF, they've two sponsored NSScreencasts and the latest iOS dev weekly newsletter.

Actually, Rollout is compliant with Apple guidelines. More details here: https://rollout.io/blog/updating-apps-without-app-store/
I'm not going to argue regarding the potential security issues of using a solution like Rollout or CodePush, but I do think Apple should have done a better job at communication.
Dave Verwer from iOS Dev Weekly said it much better than I can:
"We still only have anecdotal evidence on what has actually happened and while that continues both the creators of these tools, and the developers who are using them are left in this difficult/impossible situation of not knowing what's going to happen to their apps. It'll probably take a couple of weeks to see full impact of this, and I really feel do for you if you have an app that's being affected by the changes.
People build businesses on the App Store and to have the possibility of changes like this being enforced with zero notice after years of them being fine on the App Store is completely unacceptable in that situation. If this change is intentional (which we can only assume it is) then it should have come with a detailed description of what's happening and a notice period to give app owners a chance to react and continue to run their apps.
Apple can definitely do better at handling situations like this.
Dave Verwer"
