Sounds like you were stuck in an awful situation. Echoing the advice that some of the others have provided you, I’d suggest being honest, but without badmouthing the company/people you worked for. If someone asks give a brief explanation on how you did interesting work and learned new things but eventually were let go. Don’t dwell on it and don’t use it as an opportunity to seek “revenge”: you’re not going to get anything out of it and it’s a huge flag for the company that’ll hire you (will they say bad things about us if we fire them, too?)
Also, just as an FYI: while your manager was wrong with most of his statements,
> Killing an app in iOS via the app switcher is the same as `kill -9`
iOS apps are essentially SIGKILLed if they’re swiped up on in the app switcher.
Thank you for the advice. I will try my best to not badmouth my former manager.
> iOS apps are essentially SIGKILLed if they’re swiped up on in the app switcher.
Sorry, I worded that poorly. To be clear, he use the word literally to describe it. Which I think is pretty misleading. iOS still calls the delegate method (and probably some other stuff) beforehand.
