• As we built
Nerdfeed
, we were mindful of the device differences in the classes we
used. For example, knowing that a
UISplitViewController
doesn't exist
on the iPhone or iPod touch, we made sure that there was an alternative interface
on those devices. In general, when using an Apple-provided class, you should
read the discussion in the documentation about that class. It will give you tips
about the availability of the class and its methods on the different devices.

Nerdfeed
is still a relatively simple application. It is always easier to universalize
an application early in development. As an application grows, its details get bur-
ied in the massive pile of code. Finding and fixing issues as you're writing code is
much easier than coming back later. Details are harder to find, and there is the
risk of breaking what already works.
