To be honest.. writing unit tests in iOS is a myth. Usually iOS developers work for small startups, which source money from investors. It is important for those investors to create a product as soon as possible. Manuall tests or application stability?

If you want to learn more about this approach please check the book “The Software Craftsman: Professionalism, Pragmatism, Pride” (Robert C. Martin Series).

Dependency inversion is the last letter of SOLID therm. Last position doesn’t mean less important than the other, in my opinion this principle is the most important software design pattern.
