The digest of interesting materials for the mobile developer # 228 (October 30 - November 5)

The iPhone X has finally hit the market and caused a serious stir, at least in Russia. In this digest there is a development guide for it, as well as a survey on salaries, work with maps and fonts in Android, correct onboarding, and much more.
