Even Bekkedal contributed to the tidal-music/tidal-sdk-ios repository by developing and enhancing core features such as adaptive bitrate streaming callbacks, offline download management, and DRM playback validation. He applied Swift and shell scripting to implement robust API integrations, streamline code generation, and enforce CI/CD best practices. His work included introducing public mock fixtures to improve testability, refining changelog and versioning workflows for release integrity, and aligning the SDK with evolving OpenAPI specifications. Through targeted bug fixes and comprehensive unit testing, Even improved reliability and maintainability, addressing edge cases in media playback and ensuring the SDK’s readiness for downstream integration and onboarding.
In March 2026, focused on elevating testability and reliability of the tidal-sdk-ios offline workflow. Delivered public mock fixtures for Offliner testing by introducing static .mock() factory methods with sensible defaults for OfflineCollection, OfflineMediaItem, OfflineCollectionItem, OfflineCollectionItemsPage, and Download. The implementation follows the existing Auth mocks pattern to ensure consistency across test suites. This work reduces test boilerplate, accelerates test execution, and improves reliability of offline-related features, enabling safer refactors and faster iteration.
