Comment on Introducing the Apollo GraphQL Platform

Comments

We use Apollo heavily within our iOS app. These peeps build really awesome tooling.

Despite that, I wish more time were invested in the OSS native apollo libraries (iOS, Android). There still isn't a way to do cache invalidations, and both libraries (perhaps understandably so) are well behind apollo-js in features. I would build something myself as a PR (and perhaps this is a problem with most GitHub projects), but non-trivial PRs seem to be left sitting for months or never touched at all by maintainers.

I bet the Apollo folks are just focusing their efforts where interest lies, but there really isn't a great, fully-featured OSS graphql client for mobile right now. React Native + apollo-js does not count to me: I have never used a React Native app I've felt acceptable on Android, and have only found marginally acceptable iOS apps in the wild.
