Animations in iOS applications born on the server

iOS engineers must have guessed what volumes of work are in question: in order to delete old and add new animations, it is necessary to perform many actions on the client side. To do this, Android and iOS teams must be involved in each release, and, together with the time required to approve the update in the App Store, this means that launching each release with updated animations can take several days. However, we managed to solve this problem, and now I will tell you how.

Ok Google! Are you good or evil?

So it happened that the company of good, which I loved and admired so much, caused me so much evil. But first things first.
